Cupcakes and Commentary

Super A calls yogurt “logurt”. He loves yogurt and has it at breakfast and then will usually ask for it again sometime later in the day. However, yogurt is the one food he still makes a huge mess out of feeding himself. We have been working on getting him to hold the yogurt cup, spoon [...]

This recipe is from Kelly Minter’s bible study book “No Other Gods”. We tried it with cheese quesadillas on the side and it was really yummy! It does take a long time to make though. You need a good forty minutes to cook the rice completely, so you want to time it with the cooking [...]

It’s funny, but when I was little I never held a phone up to my face and said “cheese” expecting it to take my pictures. However, whenever Super A picks up a phone, he chats on it for a minute and then will hold it up and say cheese and wait for it to take [...]

So due to my procrastinatory nature, I spent most of the summer working on these two canvases for my sweet nephews. But finally…finished! The lighting is not great, but I got tired of trying to find good lighting on a rainy, cloudy day. And now a craft. Sesame Street is all new this week (finally!) [...]

That’s what the weather report stated on the scroller below The Today Show. I find it humorous that even the meteorologists are annoyed with the current weather. However, I know better. I don’t want to complain about the less than desirable heat because, as is the typical south, the “cooler” temperatures will eventually come in [...]

This recipe is pretty easy and combines salmon with my current favorite strawberry salad. Enjoy! Salmon Cakes and Salad Ingredients: Two 7 oz cans of drained and flaked salmon (I like Kirkland’s Atlantic Salmon) Two eggs 1 diced shallot 1/2 tsp of McCormick’s lemon pepper seasoning 1/4 tsp kosher salt 1/4 and 1/8 cup of [...]

This weekend seems to be a bit of a blur by now! On Friday us and the local fam went to Rosie’s to celebrate my husband’s birthday and then came back to our house for presents and cake. On Saturday Super A preferred to gleefully run around in his diaper… rather than actually get dressed. [...]

I really like the books in Jane Yolen and Mark Teague’s series. Super A particularly likes “How do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?” However, our activity is based on the book “How do Dinosaurs Count to Ten? Right now Super A counts to ten like this “1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14″ So [...]

Yesterday we celebrated my husband’s birthday. It was fun because Super A is really getting into the spirit of birthdays. He greeted my husband as soon as he came home with a “happy birthday Daddy!” and gleefully led him to the presents saying “look! presents! we open them!” He picked out the balloon and was [...]

I meant to post this yesterday, but I had a midterm exam to finish writing up for my classes and ran out of time! I was having the worst time coming up with writing new questions for my classes…how many different ways can you ask about the concept of “listening” and “language” anyway? This is [...]
