TToT – Coldness and Light

I do not like the short dark days of winter. OK, I really just don’t like winter. I can handle cold if it means above freezing. I don’t mind snow if I’m inside and it’s not in the double digits of measurable snowfall. But when the temperature reads in the single digits and the snow…

This One Time I Laughed So Hard I Couldn’t Breathe – A Finish the Sentence Friday Five

BOOM! Would you look at what I did up there with that title? I couldn’t decide if I should do a Finish the Sentence Friday post or my Friday Five this week. So you know what? I’m doing both. Together. In one post. Let’s roll… This one time, I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe.…

Once Upon a Year or Two Ago

Sometimes it’s nice to take a look at where we’ve been. Every now and then I take a look through photo albums, old letters, piles of filing in my office that need to be handled…but I haven’t done much backward observation here on my blog. Today’s as good a day as any, so come along…

Conversations with Kidzilla – Beer and Books

I love listening to my daughter talk. OK, that’s not always true. Sometimes Kidzilla starts speaking the moment her eyes open in the morning and she doesn’t stop until her eyes close again at night. And even then, sometimes she keeps right on going. On those days, it’s a bit much sensory input for my…

FTSF – Epic Diaper Fail: A Babyzilla Story

When the timing is right to jump into something, you know. Sometimes you just need the right combination of factors to fall into place together to make you say, “OK, it’s time to try this.” I have been reading posts here and there that link up to Finish the Sentence Friday, currently hosted at my…

Friday Five – Why My Cat is an @$$hole

Anyone who says animals do not have personalities has never lived with one. Anyone who says cats do not do things intentionally for spite has never lived with my cat. You see, Cat One, as he is known here, has an attitude problem. Let’s get one thing clear straight away: he isn’t overly pampered. None…

Guest Post – Eli from Coach Daddy Talks Leftovers

That’s right. Leftovers. Food that was not consumed at some previous meal. Leftovers are a reality in every kitchen. If you tell me you don’t have any in your fridge right now or that you never eat them, well, I would have a hard time believing you. Moms love leftovers. At least this mom does. Leftovers give…

Conversations with Kidzilla – How to Have a Happy Marriage

I love having conversations with my daughter. For starters, Zilla is a rather skilled conversationalist for a six-year-old. The kid knows how to have a discussion. She also has a wicked sense of humor and near-perfect comedic timing and delivery. She often stops me dead in my tracks with a snappy one-liner. But in addition…

Soup of the Week: Spicy Butternut & Vegetable ‘Stoup’ and Giving Things Another Try

Several years ago, my Mom had a fairly extended period of kitchen experimentation. In those pre-Pinterest days, Mom would sit with her impressive cookbook collection and look for new meals to prepare for our family. She liked to find new and different ways to prepare fairly standard ingredients. My Mom is a great cook. Most of…
