Hungryjack Casserole. My mom started making this when I was in high school, I believe, and it is one of my favorites. I called her and asked her where she got the recipe. She has no idea so we are going to go with....it came from my great uncle who was always hungry and also … Continue reading Easy Hungry Jack Casserole
Why Moms Don’t Go Out Much
The older I get, the harder it is to drag myself out of the house. I know I'm not alone in this. 🙂 This is mostly because once kids entered the picture, leaving the house became such a project. Even if I'm going out alone! You would think that would be easy but there's so much … Continue reading Why Moms Don’t Go Out Much
I Assure You I Couldn’t Love My Adopted Children More
I've gotten better about my "adoption triggers." I'm less sensitive than I used to be. I don't get all inwardly worked up like I did in the past. There are still things that really bother me about this adoption reality, though. I don't like it, to put it mildly, when anyone but me gets called … Continue reading I Assure You I Couldn’t Love My Adopted Children More

I have 2 or 3 versions of Swiffers and I love them. Swiffers are definitely easier than a mop and a bucket which … Continue reading Mop Your Cares Away With The O-Cedar ProMist Max
Beef And Rice Casserole, Perfect For Lazy People!

And with four kids, it's super hard to find something that they all like. But, Beef and Rice Casserole is one of those dishes! Ok, that's not entirely … Continue reading Beef And Rice Casserole, Perfect For Lazy People!
Daring Myself To Love My Son.
A year or so ago, I received a book, "The Love Dare." It was from my priest who is also my facebook friend. She had read my angsty posts about Kaleb, met with me and then bought me the book. The idea is that you are given a daily dare which is aimed at improving … Continue reading Daring Myself To Love My Son.
