So, I have to share my little (admittedly, a bit late in the game) summer project! I keep seeing all these articles about making non-waffle items in the waffle iron and that sounds right up our alley! So, I decided that we should try a new recipe every week (or weekish, depending on my level of … Continue reading Everyone Needs A Project!

Sharing Is Caring-Especially If Honey Buns Are Involved.
Brian loves The Beatles. I love Batman. Kaleb loves basketball. William loves Doctor Who. Lizzie loves animals. And Antwan, he loves Honey Buns. There is no truer statement in the world than this. He really loves Honey Buns and always has. I wish that I could remember the first time that he tried one. If I had known how much … Continue reading Sharing Is Caring-Especially If Honey Buns Are Involved.
Does She Have Any Real Kids?
I got a text from a friend who saw us in the parent drop-off line. She was saying how they were looking at our Star Wars stick family on the back of the van and naming the kids. Antwan had slipped their mind. She also mentioned that her daughter had asked if we had any … Continue reading Does She Have Any Real Kids?
He Has One Mom—Me.

Adopted Kids. They’re Just Kids.
Several months ago, I wrote a post where I was all hot and bothered (justifiably so) because a neighborhood kid had teased Kaleb about being adopted. With everything else in his past, he had to feel self-conscious about his "happy ending??"Then, a couple of months later, Lizzie and I, inadvertently, sold Girl Scout cookies to his … Continue reading Adopted Kids. They’re Just Kids.
It’s Easter Again And It’s Been A Busy Year.
Tomorrow is Easter. And, when you are an adult, that brings many stresses. For me, I've been stressing about buying all the Easter goodies when we're tight on cash, worrying that everything will go smoothly, and, of course, the biggest stressor of all...how should I match us? 😉 I'm a little sad this year. I didn't get … Continue reading It’s Easter Again And It’s Been A Busy Year.
