Permit me a bit of monologuing here for a while. This past week has been incredibly busy and full of little people. I have spent time with all 5 grandchildren this week. For a few days, 4 of them came to stay and we had a lot of fun with our tea party, library visit … Continue reading »

Pasta and Peas with Pancetta
I’m revisiting my recipe I had already posted here on my blog for pasta and peas for two reasons. First it’s a really simple and easy to make dish but I wanted to zing it up with a bit of flavor from pancetta (pronounced pan-chet-ta). The second reason to spice up this dish was I was … Continue reading »
Grandma’s Little Helper for Pierogis
Yesterday I had my daughter and grandson over for dinner and visiting time. Za (pronounced with a long a sound) was so glad to be here because he missed us all so much. We all missed him and his momma and were glad for a visit. I figured I would take the time to show … Continue reading »

I have dealt with this before but have not ever admitted it here, in public. Crazy huh? I find that it happens to many bloggers and … Continue reading »

We were able to get our … Continue reading »
Thinking of summer
Photo credit: Randy Plett I know that sounds crazy but last night I was driving home and one of my favorite songs about summer came on the radio. It got me out of the funky mood I was in because it was 18 degrees and there were piles of snow all around me. I started … Continue reading »
Happy birthday to my first born…
I can’t believe it’s been 28 years since I became a mom. I was not ready at all, although I thought I was at the time. I was very young and life was simply chaotic but I knew that there was no way I would not have my baby when I learned I was pregnant … Continue reading »
Happy birthday to my baby girl
Today we celebrate another birthday in our family. My youngest daughter, Lauren, turns 25. She is 1/4 of a century old. That means I’m getting older too but I don’t think I feel it. Ok, maybe I do today since I am.still.sick! Just how long is a cold supposed to last anyway? Since I shared … Continue reading »
