Bubblicious watermelon gum in smoothie form

I mean this in the healthiest way possible, but this smoothie tasted like this gum. I hope other people know about Bubblicious watermelon wave and I wasn’t the only one who spent my summers in the 90’s binging on this sugar loaded crap behind my mom’s back.  Hey, I saved up my hard earned (ha! riiiight!) money from refereeing kids soccer games and timing at swim meets for this stuff, so I don’t think spending it on sweet treats is the worst thing in the world.  Better than my sister’s squeeze pop addiction.  That stuff was straight up nast.  Sorry… Read more >

Flying with allergies [the post-post]

Sorry for the delay on this one.  I was going to ditch the post altogether, but people did ask questions so I wanted to try to offer something as a way of a response.  [Reminder: here’s the first installment where I waxed poetic about how little I knew and how ill prepared I felt] Now that the trip is over and we survived without the use of the epi pen, I’ll try to share more in the hopes that some of it may help someone.

Dinner menu chalkboard

I’ve been back on the meal plan wagon now that we are all settled and our kitchen is unpacked and I can find stuff, so I wanted to share some of the latest.

Since I had a highlights post (from two weeks ago) in the works that already got deleted, I’m going to see how well… Read more >

NuGo Winner

Hey hey hey!  I’ve been internet-less for a week now because we are moving and it’s a doozy.   I can’t WAIT to feel settled and we are SO close.  We went the DIY route with moving this time around and it’s definitely labor intensive but makes me feel so accomplished.  🙂 Anyway, I’ll stop with the rambling about packing and unpacking.  I’m lucky to have a big helper on hand (he’s especially good at unpacking).  Let’s get to the real reason you’re here. Comment #119 is the lucky winner of a box of NuGo… Read more >
