Every year at Halloween we make these ghost brownies. Here are ours from last year. Very much kid done. And this year I found this picture, which I am going to add to our repetoire. I love the Frankenstein head with fruit roll ups and mini M&Ms......he's my new favorite. I think the original idea came from a Betty Crocker website and cookbook (that's where I got the idea from) but this picture came from here. Here's how we make them. 1. Make up your favorite brownie recipe. Mine is my ... View the Post
Facet No. 2 Ambition: Progress Report
So, for these past two weeks I've been working on my ambitiousness. (Is that even a word?) And I've gotten a lot done. (Cleaned out van, cleaned out closets, cleaned out storage room ,etc.)But the main thing that I'll be carrying away from the experiment with this facet is "do it now".I am the queen of putting off tasks until they are completely unreasonable or an emergency but while I've been working on ambition I have been trying to do whatever needs to be done as soon as I see the ...

$5 Friday …except it’s $9 this week (but I saved $4 last week, does that count?)
I am a bit over this week, but I think it's well worth it.I am not a fan of tiny wreaths on doors. I think they look silly. Maybe some people feel the same way about my wreaths but I just like the look better of a wreath that actually fills the door frame. Isn't that what they are supposed to do? (Maybe I am the crazy one....I'll take it if I am)BUT, if you are like me and like a wreath that fills the door, here is a fall wreath suggestion that cost me around $9 (I had one grapevine ...

Celebrate Chile with Chili!
Ok...I'm obsessed with the Chilean miners being rescued. I can't quit watching CNN! My kids and I have piled our work (and toys) around the TV so we don't miss a rescue. How happy I am for these men and their families. And how much do I love "Super Mario"? To celebrate the rescue we are having chili tonight for dinner. What does chili have to do with Chilean miners? Nothing but Chile and chili are pronounced the same (if you talk like me) so there's my connection. (I don't need much of an excuse ... View the Post
Pep..what is it?
My friend recently asked me what I was supposed to be doing for the ambition facet. Well, it's hard to define but here's a few of Ms. Hoole's kernels of knowledge on the subject:"Someone once said, "Persistence-Energy-Power" and coined the word "PEP"." (I'm not so sure about this...I checked the dictionary and Webster defines pep as energy or vigor...but whatever.)"It is interesting to note as you observe ambitious people that the more one does, the more he is able to do because ENERGY GROWS ...

Caution: Ambition Can Cause Amnesia
Today began week two of the "Ambition Facet" of my experiment and I started it off right...kind of...almost...not really...I got up early, made the bed, sorted the laundry, started the laundry, went through a pile of paper work, and then woke up the kids. I got Simon dressed, fed, and ready for school, and then proceeded out side to clean out the mini van while waiting for his car pool to arrive.We waited and waited and I cleaned and cleaned and then at 9:12 (school starts at 9:15) I realize ...
