He goes to sleep about 8:15pm. 8:45pm - Benzo and I watch the new episode of True Blood. We go… Continue reading My First Day As a Working Mom
Diaper Drying Rack
Remember when I posted about uses for recalled cribs? Well I pulled out one of the sides of our recalled crib and brought it upstairs with an idea in mind: A diaper drying rack! We are cloth diapering Jack and I like to line dry the outer part to hopefully help them last longer. I just… Continue reading Diaper Drying Rack

Trader Joe’s
Trader Joe's finally opened up two locations in Kansas City a couple weeks ago. People have been asking them to open stores here for years (myself included). I was so excited when they announced the locations that I vowed to go on opening day. Benzo wanted to go too so we all went as a family after… Continue reading Trader Joe’s

Mothers’ Day
My Mothers' Day celebrations started out on Saturday night. Benzo and I met up with Movie Mom and my brother at the Olive Garden. We had a lovely dinner.

Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins
I don't usually make up my own recipes. There are far too many good ones out there written by other people, and to be honest I'm not that creative. People think I'm creative because I make stuff all the time, but really I'm just following other people's instructions. My Type A personality is happy that… Continue reading Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

And then I also made two pans of spinach-baked ziti. A big thank you to Ginnette who commented last Friday that I needed to check out the… Continue reading Spinach Baked Ziti
