I took photos and roasted the seeds. We normally do a tedious Jack-o’-lantern by using a pattern but [...]

Totally dramatic. I have no clue where she gets that from…. When she went to a friend’s birthday and Halloween party, [...]

My husband, Shawn is a sports fanatic. It’s sports on radio or TV all day long. He’s not really into computers but I’ve been catching him on my desktop playing games and looking at the Tampa Bucs info. He has a lot of friends who are into fantasy football so maybe learning how to use [...]

*CONTEST ENDED. WINNER ANNOUNCED SOON.* McCormick and Schmick’s is helping to bring back date night. For me, date night is pizza at home. My friend said she has Ramen noodles and a movie on the couch! I guess with the economy the way it is, going out for dinner and a movie now is out [...]

When I was a little girl, my family made jigsaw puzzles as a hobby together. I did the same with my older daughter and now with my younger daughter. It can be difficult to not lose puzzle pieces, especially when there’s a cat who likes to climb and chew on any small pieces that he [...]
