Gluten Free Cinnamon Buns & Cheater Style Regular Cinnamon Buns

In case you missed it, Kaylee just turned 9.  It has been an exciting time in our lives… right now, my darling 9 year old is only 9 inches shorter than her Mama.  There is no doubt that in a few short years time, she will pass me up.
Kaylee and I took a [...]

Writings of an Almost Nine Year Old

I’ve sent the girls in to clean their bedroom… AGAIN.  How they manage to destroy a bedroom so quickly is beyond the realm of my understanding.
To motivate them a bit, I assign each girl one task at a time… K2 pick up and put away all the clothing, clean and dirty.  K3 collect and organize [...]

What Exactly is ONE of Those Days?

Yesterday was ONE OF THOSE DAYS.  Any Mama knows what I speak of…
We started the day to the lovely sounds of 3 girly voices bickering before they were even out of bed.  Then we moved on to what I refer to as quiet defiance from the boy child (K-Man), snottiness from the oldest girl child [...]

The First Ice Cream Cone in Two Years for Our GF Girl!

One happy girl!

Courtesy of: “Let’s Do…” Brand Gluten Free Ice Cream Cones and So Delicious Chocolate Ice Cream.

Every one agrees… “Yum-O”.
(And no, the dark haired girl isn’t ours… funny how yelling “ice cream” draws in the neighbor kids.)
Tonight we are enjoying a BBQ, local white wine and ice cream on the back porch. I’m [...]

Any fabulous ideas for planning the VBS?  I’m new at [...]

Navigating the GFCF World

Recently, Adrianne left a comment on my “Sick Since Birth” page, which included this statement:
“HOW IN THE WORLD (please, anyone, can you tell me?) DO YOU FOLLOW THE GF/CF DIET WHEN YOU CAN’T FOLLOW YOUR CHILD EVERYWHERE HE GOES?”
And I sent a response with some tips and pointers, then I thought… maybe I should post [...]

Invitations and Collections

Found on the top bunk, also known as K3’s bed… Not sure why???? We discussed the buds and how they were going to become flowers in a few weeks if left ON the trees… hopefully she gets it.  The balls were left on the field after the high school teams practiced.  Guess I need to [...]

Derelict

I’ve been neglectful in my bloggy duties.  Shame Shame.
So, what have we been up to?
I have my four year old, 2-2 year olds (boy and girl) and an 8 month old at home with me ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.  My days start at 5:30 am and end sometime around 6pm (when the last one goes [...]
