Hunter and I were having some of Emily’s delicious spaghetti at dinner tonight.  Hunter was not interested in the noodles so I helped him sort out the dish to get to the meat sauce.  When I asked Hunter what he like more the noodles or the meat he said “more neat!”

I keep meaning to share some fun recipes we have tried lately, and this seems like the best place to share them with everyone at once.  I will tell you what modifications I made as well, in case you are like me and see some parts of the recipe that seem like something you would not do!  These are all… Read more »

Last Wednesday, Hunter and I visited my old friend Fireman Dan at his fire station. When we arrived, Hunter was just up from a short nap and was in a raging bad mood. Fireman Dan took us inside the station right away and all the guys were great about talking to Hunter and snapping him out of his bad mood…. Read more »

So I have to first admit that Hunter has been to the Disney theme parks more in his two years than I could have dreamed to go in my childhood (although the 1,200 mile commute prevented many a day trip for the Hayes family living in Wisconsin).  During our many visits Emily and I often ride the monorail and train… Read more »

Going green on Earth Day

      Comments Off on Going green on Earth Day

Since my plans to take Hunter to see Disney’s Earth fell through (well, more like I came to my senses), and I was too lazy to take him to Animal Kingdom, I decided Hunter and I would do a craft in honor of Earth Day. Most of the online toddler crafts sounded a bit out of our league so I… Read more »

A couple weeks ago, my great friend Marie came to visit from Michigan. Her wonderful husband Ryan surprised her with a trip to Florida knowing how much she loves it here and misses it in the long, cold, Michigan winters.

Thanks to the kindness of our husbands, my friend Jen and I got to enjoy a night out in a restaurant with no kids’ menu or crayons visible on the table. Jen suggested the Bento Cafe, because she scored a $25 restaurant.com gift certificate for only $3! The only caveat was that we had to have a bill of $35, but… Read more »
