As stay at home parents we are in a unique situation. Our job takes place in our homes without the presence of bosses or coworkers. Yes, we have friends and family, but really the only people who we really interact with in our jobs are our kids. And the only outside person who really sees [...]
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new couches. They should be here between 1:30 and 3:30 today. Of course, right in the middle of nap time. Send your positive thoughts that Ian will get some sort of a nap today. I am hoping they call at 1:00 and say they are are on [...]
Now, we all know where my politics lie, but I have to comment on this whole deal about Sarah Palin’s 100k wardrobe. I really don’t see why everyone is making such a big deal about this.

Many years ago we attended our friend’s wedding in Mexico. She is from there and her family threw a great day after the wedding party at a local beach resort. They served a soup call Pozole. It was made with pork and hominy and served with a variety of condiments and seasonings. I have also always [...]
This reading will address the locations that I will be happiest living and working.
