I received this as an email in 2003. 
It’s so good, it bears repeating. 
This is the fairy tale that we should have been reading as little girls! 
(My hubby is the exception.)
Once upon a time in a far away land, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the [...]

Years ago we traveled like we were hippies from the 60’s….a VW vanagon….wherever the road took us….wherever the wind blew…with no hotel reservations.  We weren’t total rebels…we got maps from AAA. 
Then. 
We had kids.  
It’s hard to be “free as a bird” with one in diapers, one barely potty trained and one who loved to flush toilets. 
But, we were thrilled to [...]

Years ago I read an article called “Taking the High Road with Three under 3.”  I remember thinking those parents had to be crazy!  Our first 3 were 5 and under, but still,  Hubby and I were just never that adventurous; traveling with my kids always made me think of some complex military operation….without the benefit of a [...]

Thankfully I have had lots of energy this summer to keep up with the kids.  
I  have answered many questions, some of which took me by surprise. 
I have learned that when my brother’s children ask a question they want an answer……whether or not I am the person who should answer their question.  Somehow I was able to put off my [...]

“Arrrrh…there be spoilers ahead….”  Oops – wrong movie. 
I managed to round up, feed and get three “tweens” in the car yesterday morning in time for us to catch the first showing of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”  Try explaining to kids in “summer time brain mode” that the odds of seeing a premiere at [...]

Ohana -
Ohana means family….family means that sometime in the middle of the night my 12 year old son along with my 8 year old nephew and his 12 year old sister, my niece will have crawled into bed with me.  At least that means there is no room for the dogs and the cat. 
Tomorrow when Hubby arrives, [...]

Having spent a full week with two ‘tweens’ and a eight year old, I now fully understand why some animals eat their young.
I love her expression – I looked the same way this morning.  “Oh dear God give me patience and I need it now!” 
Can’t you just hear the conversation they might be having…or rather [...]

Big Brother is Watching Your Cookie Dough

Posted in Baking, Big Brother, Chocolate, Cooking, Costco, Humor, Life, Product recalls, tagged , , , , , , , on June 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Last month I purchased a vat of Nestle’s Chocolate Chip Cookie dough from Costco. 
Sometimes I want to make cookies for my students and I don’t always have time to make them from ’scratch.’ 
I heard your gasps of horror at the thought of me buying store bought cookie dough…..
When students ask me if I made them, [...]
