Weeding and Digging Up Webkinz Gardens
For seven days, we weren’t able to get to two of our Webkinz gardens. It was an interesting experiment to see how they fared. Just about all of the plants needed to be dug up, but a few were ready to be harvested and a couple just needed to be weeded. Here are the screen [...]
Vegan Kit-Kat Recipe
My older daughter saw Kit-Kats in the store recently and wondered if a vegan version existed. I looked, but couldn’t find one (their dark version still contains dairy). So, she decided to make her own version. Zoë’s Vegan Kit- Kat Recipe: 2/3 box natural sugar wafers (found in health food sections of stores) 3 1/2 [...]
Vegan Taffy
Think vegans can’t have an old fashioned taffy pull? Think again! My daughters have been asking to make taffy for quite some time. Since their grandparents were due for a visit, we planned our taffy making desires around their stay. While not completely successful, we had a lot of fun making the taffy. We used [...]
Our Cat Astrid Photograph
We’re in the middle of remodeling my younger daughter’s bedroom (I’ll be posting before and after photographs soon). Since the walls are painted and the new flooring is in, I was hemming the new curtains. Our cat, Astrid, decided the curtains would be a nice place to sit. Since she’s quite the photogenic cat, I [...]
Let it Snow! (Southern Arizona Style)
While Arizona does get snow (quite a lot in the mountains — especially in the north part of the state), here in the lower altitudes of southern Arizona snow is a rare thing. To liven up our living space and to make the place feel more wintery, we’ve made snowflakes out of coffee filters. They [...]
How to: Make a Photo Collage Clock
My kids love making letters and numbers with their bodies. To use their number photographs in an extra fun way, we decided to make collage clocks using 12″ blank clock faces from ClockParts.com. The parts are great and the directions are fantastic — full of lots of neat ideas! Here is how we made ours: [...]

Be Conscious of Who and What You Support
Once again, Heifer International has been bombarding me with their catalogs. I’m a huge fan of Catalog Choice (the organization where you type in your catalogs and they help make them stop coming to your house). Heifer International, along with dozens of other companies, require a lot more from the people on their mailing list [...]
Top 10: Television Shows We’ve Seen in 2008
Due to the Popularity of my Top 10: Favorite Movies and Television Shows We’ve Seen in 2007 and Top 10: Favorite Christmas Movies 2007 (which I couldn’t improve upon this year after seeing several new Christmas movies) posts, I’ve written one for movies in 2008 and this one for television shows. In complete honesty, the [...]
