I can’t sew, or knit, or crochet. The only creative endeavors that don’t completely wither under my care are food, words, and photography. Yes, food is a creative endeavor. At least it is in my house. Today, in honor of my lack of crafty-type skills (and because I stayed up too late watching LOST with …
Regrets About Yesterday
Yesterday’s post received more first-time visitors than ever before in Mommpotamus Land. You know what? In one way I felt relieved and in another way sad.

I’ll Never Be THAT Type of Woman . . . Until Now

And going 24 hours WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO FLUSH A TOILET is bad for newlywed morale. Long story short, solving the problem using an external cleanout …

Our only problem with basil around here is what to do with it all! Pesto Pasta With Chicken Ingredients: 12 oz …
Baby Basics For the Slightly Crunchy, Eco-Conscious Mommy
