My name is Buffy, and my husband is “Mike.” We are 40 somethings and we have five kids that in blogland are called Greg, Peter, Bobby, Marcia and Cindy (like the Brady bunch). The oldest two (Greg and Peter) are currently serving our country as U.S. Marines (Peter is due back from Iraq any day [...]
This morning for breakfast, we had another easy one! We got to enjoy the granola that I made yesterday. Two of my boys like it, and hubby and I like it so much we can eat it just out of the container. It is really great stuff!
Then quiet. Ahhh. Boys off to school…
I had to [...]
Today was one of those days! Busy, busy!
First, we started off with Hubby making some omelets for the boys. We are an “omelet with all of the fixin’s ” family. So we had those and our Blueberry Sweet Muffins that I made last night. Both were very good!
Here is one sleepy boy getting ready to [...]
Well, here it is, the last day we all get to share. I appreciate all of you popping over to my blog and sharing the days with me.
Today started off slow and lazy. I made banana pancakes (still trying to use up 21 lbs. of bananas!) and pork sausage. My youngest son slept till 10:20am! [...]
Today was started in a hurry; we had to get the car into the shop early, so it would be ready by this afternoon. Christian Brothers is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so I needed to get the brakes fixed TODAY! So breakfast was a Fiber Plus bar we grabbed on the way out the [...]
So, you’re not seeing much cooking in my kitchen the past two days! Thursday mornings we go to women’s bible study at our church from 9:15-11:15. I asked daughter what she wanted for breakfast, and she said WAFFLES!! We still have just a few in the freezer from our bulk baking last month, so I [...]
For breakfast, it was pumpkin muffins again, and some yogurt. Daughter ate very similar lunch at preschool, while I realized as I was starving for dinner that I never got around to eating lunch. I did snack on some cheese and crackers (and some M&Ms, whoops!).
This is one of my all time favorite dishes. I [...]
Wow, everything changes when your little ones are sick. We have been blessed to have some pretty healthy kiddos, so far, but WOW, everything hit this week. It started with a slight fever, and then progressed into a VERY scary sounding cough, all as we were heading 4 hours up to Dallas to spend the [...]
We’re excited to introduce you to our next Kitchen of the Week blogger — Bethanne from This is Life. Unlike most of our previous Kitchen of the Week bloggers who have been married with children, Bethanne is 18 years old and lives at home with her parents. But Bethanne isn’t your typical 18-year-old, as you’ll [...]
What a morning! We stayed up way too late last night watching election coverage but it was well worth it. What a historic event for our country!
I woke up late, so we scrambled for breakfast.
Bear wanted blueberries so I finally talked him into having blueberries and Gorilla Munch cereal. He ate it with his fingers [...]
Like Mother, Like Daughter. We are a family who live in Central Massachusetts. My husband is a Boston Irish Catholic from a big family. His upbringing was smack dab in the middle of respectable Catholic America, not untinged by 60s unrest.
I am about as different from him as you can get: I’m an only child, my parents are divorced, my father was an immigrant from Egypt, I was raised on the cutting edge of the feminist/relativist/sexual self-fulfillment/diversity revolution. My upbringing was smack dab in the middle of 70s hippie snotty know-it-all America, not untinged by anomie.
