We’ve been eating a little better lately. Better as in actually preparing real food again instead of resorting to microwaved nachos or cold cereal. I accept that there are periods in everyone’s life when actual home-cooking just doesn’t fit in the schedule, yet I’m very glad we seem to be coming out of one of … Continue reading
First of all – Happy Birthday Jesus! We kicked off his birthday celebration with a Christmas Eve children’s Mass at our home parish. Chaos as usual but a very sweet homily for the kids.

Today, the egg came first. This morning began with my rendition of McDonalds’s bacon, egg, and cheese McMuffin. Ever wonder how they get those little egg squares? I wonder too. I do it with the microwave. Thanks, mom (: The first time I made this sandwhich for Daniel he asked how many eggs I used, … Continue reading
