I am over my temper tantrum from last week. I spent most of this weekend thinking about life, my friends and family. One year ago my mother-in-law died at 96 years-old after an amazing life. She loved her seven children, 25 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren (and still counting) and all their spouses and significant others. …

Mommy has a Temper Tantrum and a Failed Dinner
I have not blogged for the past two days. Why? Because Mommy had a temper tantrum. Yes, on Wednesday night I stood in my kitchen and said, “I don’t want to do this anymore. I don’t want to make dinner. I don’t want to do dishes. I don’t want to clean.” In my memory I…
Creamy Italian Sausage Skillet Dinner and A WDW Invitation
Things have been hectic around our house. Now, they are about to get a bit more crazy. On Friday, I received an invitation to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Conference in Walt Disney World! I am over the moon excited. I never thought I would see that email. I was hoping to use this…
Chicken Enchilada Verde
As I look around my house I realize how busy life has been over the last month. Nothing is seriously wrong but there are baskets of laundry to be folded, clean dishes to put away, and tables to be dusted. It seems that just like everyone else we are running from morning until late in…
Creamy Italian Chicken and St. Patrick’s Day
Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day. For many people it is a day to wear green, maybe have a green beer or two and watch a parade. In our house it is usually at least a 4-5 day celebration. My in-laws have deep Irish roots that they have traced back for generations. My daughter Irish dances. …
Greek Pizzas with Tzatiki
We are getting back into the warmer days slowly. On top of all the school and community events my children have we are wanting to spend more time outside. That means dinner is getting later and later. I love that this meal took less than 30 minutes to have on the table and I made…
Clam Chowder with Oh My Goodness Garlic Bread
I LOVE Daylight Savings Time. I know mornings are tough but I love the fact that last night we were watching the sunset at 7:50 pm. We are evening people in our house. Between 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm we eat dinner, which is later than most families. My children, even before they were a…
Cheesy Chili Beef Mac
The hour time change is kicking my butt. But, the good thing is that the raising temperatures and sunshine the last two days have definitely brightened my outlook on life. I truly believe I have a touch of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) every year. No, it is not a serious depression for me but I…
Creamy Chicken and Stuffing with State Testing
My daughter had her EXPLORE test this morning. Because she is in Virtual School we had to drive to a town about 40 minutes away for her to take the test. This is her first year in Virtual School so it has been a huge learning curve for us. She was homeschooled in New York…
Crystal Palace – Walt Disney World
Crystal Palace is definitely one of our top 5 restaurants in Walt Disney World for dining. The menu is fairly consistent and I know what I am going to eat each and every time we dine there. Add the Winnie the Pooh characters on top of the wonderful buffet and that makes for a great…
Slow Cooker Beef Roast with Vegetables
This month is crazy busy in our house. All of the school teams, clubs and performing groups are cramming everything into March and early April to avoid Spring Break and preparing for finals. We only have two children yet we have Science O practices and regional, school orchestra and youth orchestra program, music lessons and…
Chicken Piccata
There are days that I forget to start dinner until it is just about time for my family to start complaining that they are hungry. We all do it. I have a month of meals planned to choose from so I usually have something I can make quickly. Not the other night. It was the…
