Dinner for 6.

Perhaps my dinner menus will inspire you to put back the frozen chicken nuggets and rediscover cooking. If I can do it, you can too. With four boys and a part time job, I still find time to put a fresh dinner on the table most nights. This blog will help me remember what I have made and I can share what I make and how I make it.

Thanks Chuck!

I got to go horseback riding! Chuck gave me 2 lessons as a gift for Christmas. It was so much fun. They are such beautiful animals. A part of me wishes I could have ridden next to Nayo and Dad in Cuba. I think that is why I have always loved it! It must be in my sangre.

Ode to Laundry

I appreciate having clothes,
having kids who wear clothes,
not using a wash board,
the smell of softener...

Well, I tried.

IPods

About 10,000,000 iPods have been sold.
They range in price from 69.00-400.00.
So let's say on average about 200.00 each x 10,000,000.
That is 2 Billion dollars!

Imagine if everyone postponed buying their iPod for a couple of weeks or months and donated the money to the charity of their choice?

Just imagine...

Motherhood

If I don’t,
Who will
Be there
No one
Understand
I am
Here
Still
Until I can’t
Or you are not
By choice
You are
By choice
If I don’t
Who will

Tulip

Right before
The weather turns
I plant a bulb
For spring to see
Despite the darkness
Falling quick
I plant a seed
I shake a fist
A promise
Of a flower lays
Just beneath
The frosty shell
Still it lies
And patient be
The promise
Of a clear warm day
