Microwave Popcorn Makeover

I am always on the look out for healthy snack ideas for me and my family. Popcorn is one of my favorite ‘sittin’ in front of the tv’ snacks in the evening when the kids are in bed and of course on family movie night. I’ve been buying the bagged microwave popcorn for-ever and in… Continue reading Microwave Popcorn Makeover

Rock The House Run

Today is a big day for the Dirty Girl! I was asked to be a part of a team! Really people, I don’t know if you understand how big of a deal this is. I haven’t been asked to be a part of a team since the 1989-90 cheerleading season at AA Leach Junior High.… Continue reading Rock The House Run

Baby Needs New Shoes

And by “baby” I mean my car and by “shoes” I mean tires. How’s this for timing?…We knew that my 2010 Ford Flex would need 4 new tires before this winter.

I had this romantic family image in my mind that being in wine/fruit country we should embark as a family to an orchard to pick fresh fruit. Picture it, 4 cute little girls in flowy cotton dresses and sun hats wandering between the rows of fruit trees with their silver pails. Giggling and nibbling on… Continue reading Cherry Pickin’ Ain’t What It’s Cracked Up To Be!

Summer Vacation (part 1)

I know it’s been a while. What can I say, we’ve been busy. Very busy. For starters our house FINALLY sold on July 1st! I can’t tell you the relief this brings me. The house was on the market for the better part of a year so this was a long time coming. The only… Continue reading Summer Vacation (part 1)
