Clothing Conundrum

So.  I have a lot of clothes.  I don't consider myself to be a fashionista and I'm not a shopaholic.  Yet somehow I've ended up with tons and tons of clothes.  I have so many clothes that when I do all the laundry there's not enough room for all the clean clothes.  Some of my clothes have… Continue reading Clothing Conundrum

Grilled PB&B

What do you get when you put bread, butter, bananas and peanut butter together with a skillet? Grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich of course!

Oh My Pancake Sauce

Last Monday was the Labor Day holiday here in the U.S. and in honor of an extra day off I decided to make a special breakfast.  I have been wanting to make oatmeal pancakes for awhile so I searched for a recipe and finally landed on Oatmeal-Apple Pancakes from Whole Foods.  I like this recipe because… Continue reading Oh My Pancake Sauce

Washing Your Dishwasher

Welcome back everyone!  I hope everyone in the U.S. had a fantastic Labor Day weekend.  I know I did.  I was sad to come back to work this morning, but also glad to get back into my regular routine.  The past week and a half has been a little crazy for me.  First we were… Continue reading Washing Your Dishwasher

Blog Assembly: August 2010

Hi there! As you can tell I haven't blogged since last Friday.  Benzo and I had a sort-of unplugged weekend while we went on church camp retreat (we had our phones but not computers).  It was a great time.  A whole bunch of people went to stay at a camp (adults and kids) and we… Continue reading Blog Assembly: August 2010
