Exhaustion

January 30, 2008 By: Katiecomment

“If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?” ~Milton Berle Today has been a rough day.

Anniversary Cake

January 29, 2008 By: Katie1 Comment

DH says this is the best banana bread he’s had. It is so moist and yummy! Ingredients: Nonstick cooking spray 3/4 c. whole wheat flour […]

I admit it…I’m an amateur.

January 7, 2008 By: Katie3 Comments

I am a horrible homemaker. There is no denying it. My husband may protest – in the same way that he would protest if I asked if I was fat – it’s an automatic no for fear of getting sent to the couch for the night. But it is a fact. Here’s why: Most women […]
