Head Gear for the Slopes.

January 24, 2010

It is the last day of our snowboarding trip. The monkeys, my darlin’ surfer and my little brother are out getting some last runs in while I enjoy the warmth of the lounge and some rich chocolaty cocoa. While I wait for them I thought that I would share some head gear with you that […]

Monkeying Around in the Snow

January 23, 2010

I have to keep this short and sweet due to the fact that all of my monkeys including the biggest one, my darlin’ surfer, are all in a tizzy to be on the slopes asap. They spent six hours up there yesterday relearning how to snowboard since it has been almost three years since the […]

Cheaters Roasted Pesto Potatoes & Mushrooms

January 20, 2010

I am exhausted! The monkeys have worn me out with a fabulously long, event filled week. I can’t wait to go to the mountains and visit with some dear friends. I am a bit frazzled around the edges. Nothing would TICKLE me more than to kick back, put my feet up and relax this evening. […]

January 19, 2010

*Disclaimer: This was entirely a monkey idea. The credit rests squarely on their shoulders. Mom was just along for the ride and as grunt labor* Friday evening Monkey One was explaining to me and his little brother about how a group of students that he is a part of went around to their assigned classes […]

Yes I did say Eureka! I made soup :) Now I know that doesn’t seem like a big deal to you but this was soup from scratch. It was one of my “cooking at random” recipes. If you have ever tried a new recipe before you will know, they do not always turn out for […]

“Qual” Chicken & Broccoli with my lil’ brother.

January 13, 2010

I have to tell you that being the oldest out of four can sometimes be weird. Especially when you are so much OLDER, and I mean O-L-D-E-R. A couple of my siblings could be my children. Yes, I am that much older. I love it though, they keep me young and definitely broke me in […]

A troop of monkeys’.

January 11, 2010

Have you ever been around a troop of monkeys? No? If you had you would know it for sure. Your stomach muscles would hurt from all of the laughter and your neck would be sore from shaking it in utter disbelief at the antics that they come up with. They are the best free entertainment […]

No snow…delayed school??

January 7, 2010

*Morning update: The temperature is 40, that’s warmer than it has been all week. Neither experiment was successful. We only have rain…didn’t see that one coming at all :) * Now if you wish to talk TICKLED, you need to be a kid growing up on the south east coast. I don’t mean for the […]
