I just wanted to give you a heads up on a fantastic giveaway going on at Snafood! She is giving away a Starfrit Ceramic Blade Knife! These are really wonderful - I reviewed one on Eighty MPH Mom (which also has a giveaway - only a couple of days left!)  You have two chances to win one of these wonderful knives:  Good luck!

I posted these recipes on Eighty MPH Mom a couple of weeks ago, but they are just so good, I wanted to make sure everyone here had a chance to see them too - enjoy! My husband, daughter and I went to a crab feed put on by his department a couple of weeks ago.  They actually had too much crab (if you can believe that), so lucky us - we got to bring home a huge aluminum pan full of dungeoness crab

Wow - this is strange. The kids are back to school, the hubby is back to work. It's just the cats and I in the quiet house. It's been a long, long, time since it's been so quiet. I used to like the peace and quiet, now it feels a little eerie!But, there is an upside. I can clean the house and actually KEEP it clean for more than a couple of hours. Cleaning the house first thing on Mondays

What are your plans for New Year's Eve? Do you have any big plans for tonight?I tend to stay home on New Year's Eve these days...I guess I'm getting old. I remember my younger days when I'd go out until the wee hours of the morning. I think all of that stopped after I had kids...it's not worth the fun to have to deal with little ones the next day. That's also about the time I decided not to drink

Thank you for the kind words and wishes...unfortunately Sylvester was put to sleep this morning. It just breaks my heart. Our pets really are our children and it just hurts so bad. I know he had a wonderful life and I did all I could for him. I didn't want him to suffer. That's the thing with animals, they can't tell us how much they're hurting, so it's up to us to make that call...but it

My 14 year old cat, Sylvester, hasn't been doing too well lately. He has gotten so skinny, yet he wants to eat all of the time, and is constantly under foot. He also seems to have a hard time getting up from a sitting/laying position. He doesn't seem to be agile anymore, and often yowls for no apparent reason. I think they might want to put him to sleep tomorrow. This is going to be

I love my husband, heart and soul. He's been on vacation for a week now and it's been wonderful...until now. I find myself getting irritated very easily (of course, PMS could have something to do with it too!). I'm so used to having the house to myself and doing things my way, so it's a bit of an adjustment. He goes back to work on Monday, and then things will feel a little more normal.

Well, Christmas has come and gone and now it's time to start thinking about the New Year and the changes we might like to make in our lives. I have the usual resolutions: SAVE MONEY (or at least try to be more careful with spending). It's so hard to save in this economic crisis we are currently in, but I am really going to try to be thrifty and creative. Do you have any good tips? Feel free to

Well, the big day we've been waiting for is finally here. There is excitement in the house and just that general warm-all-over feeling that comes along with Christmas in our household. Everywhere you look, there is color and smiling faces. I smile because Christmas brings back so many happy childhood memories. I hope my children will have good holiday memories as well. My children are

Do you have toilet paper struggles? I have shown my husband and kids how I think the toilet paper should go (over the top, right?). I think from a woman's perspective it's just easier it rolls right down and it's easy to find the end. Men don't use toilet paper as often, so maybe it's not a big deal how easy it is to find that elusive end piece. He even asked me a couple of weeks ago to

It was really nice to see my son over the Thanksgiving break...five days was nice. I was sad to see him go. I love my child, I really do, but it's amazing how fast you can get used to the quiet in the house with only one child here. He's home again for Christmas break, and it has taken some getting used to. I had forgotten how messy he is (bless his heart). I find wet towels all over the
