Did you catch Simpsons last night? Do you watch Simpsons? So if you missed it the episode was called “Rednecks and Broomsticks”. And it featured rednecks and Wiccans. If you watch the show often you know that they poke fun on just about everything. They have been offensive to some in the past and last [...]

You know how everyone talks about the things their kids say? That is totally this post today! I do have a page devoted to the things my kids say (see Out Of The Mouths Of Babes) but yesterday deserves its very own post. We started yesterday with a trip to the barber shop. A friend [...]

I have no idea why but I have been having this recurring nightmare for the last 6 months  about alligators. Various scenarios but the one common thread is I am in a boat of some kind and an alligator grabs it and pushes it to shore. Last night I dreamt I was crossing the marsh [...]

So as I mentioned in several posts now, I don’t normally cook Turkey Day Dinner. Usually we go to the inlaws farm for the day and my mother in law does the cooking. This year however, Mr.P  offered to host dinner at our home. Not a biggie, I love cooking large meals to be honest. And [...]

I don’t usually cook Thanksgiving Dinner but this year we decided to invite the inlaws over. So commence the rushing around and pre-cooking. Yep, I pre-cook. Mostly because my stove is small and there isn’t much room in my kitchen anyway. So here is what I plan on making: Turkey Mashed Potatoes Sweet Potato Casserole [...]

So in my everlasting battle to have an organized day, I am doing something new. I got one of them smartphones (an Omnia) and I basically sat down for 15 min last night and mapped out my entire day for today. And I stuck by it. Not only was I productive but I got done [...]

Circle Sanctuary has a wonderful program going on for our Pagan troops, Operation Circle Care. This is a year round operation but I am just now hearing about it due to Yule coming up. Much like any of the the other military care packages, Circle Sanctuary is looking for items to put into care packages to send [...]

Hey! Thought I would let you all know that the flu left us as quickly as it hit us and no one else in the house is showing signs of being ill. We were vigilant at keeping others away from us, no easy feat with 5 bodies in a household. I am just glad that [...]

For the first time ever, we have the flu. We usually get colds at this time of year. Not the flu. We haven’t had flu shots since my pregnancy with Molly in 1999. This year I did have the girls get the nasal spray for H1N1. Mostly because I felt their school wouldn’t really be [...]

There are alot of sites touting the do’s and don’ts of Twitter. These are usually pretty generic and, in my humble opinion, full of common sense that we all should already possess. However, I see some things that happen on twitter that should be adressed. Spamming then claiming it’s not spam. Ok seriously, if your [...]

I don’t know if you have heard of this blog but 2 Witches Blog is pretty cool. For any newbie they have a wealth of info on witchcraft, paganism, and Wicca. For parents they have lots of info on pagan parenting. And  they even include some links to activities for kids and info on raising [...]

I was contacted recently about reviewing a product for Waterpik. I got to choose between the Dental Jet or the Shower Head. The family decided that we wanted to try out the Dental Jet. On Friday, it arrived. As you can see it is something that is to be plugged in. That’s an added plus [...]

It has totally not started out well. Actually the last few days have been a major roller coaster. Around last Wed Alex started in about wanting a baby bro. Totally NOT happening. On Friday I took the day off because I had no work to do and didn’t feel like sitting in an office for [...]

Disclaimer: I did not receive any of these items for free, I paid for all of it and have the check documented to prove it. Angel Food Ministries is not even aware that I am doing this review. This morning we picked up our groceries from Angel Food Ministries. I have to say that I [...]

As you can see I have a theme going on around here lately. See…I am a holiday ho. I enjoy passing on some of the traditions I grew up with and creating new ones for my kids. I also don’t like change too much (unless I initiate it…can we say control freak much?) and I almost become [...]
