This summer I am taking the bull by the horns and being proactive with the "We have nothing to do" problem all mothers have while their children are home from school. We have 2 "guaranteed lock" fun days (which can be un-locked with bad behavior). For us it is one pool day at grandma's and one day at a park, zoo, museum, etc. My plan further extends to the days we don't have anything planned and

But, nothing gets my blood pressure to the "in danger of having a heart attack" level than slow drivers!

I have always lived by my early observation that people usually are a "Clean Car/Messy Home" people or "Messy Car/Clean Home" people. If you are "Clean Car/Clean Home" person you are anal and I don't want to know you because you will make me feel inferior and if you are a "Messy Car/Messy Home" person you are a slob. That of course was before I became the mom of 5 small children, because let's

My friend Heather Wiersma made this salad years ago. I can't remember how closely I have adhered to her recipe over time, but here is how I make it now. It is a great summer salad.- Cut up Broccoli, Carrots and Cauliflower real small.- Dice red onion very small- Mix together- Put in equal parts of Vinegar and Sugar - you don't need much, maybe a 1/8 cup but taste to your liking (I'll admit I

Due to the Mitochondrial Disease and genetics that pre-dispose all my kids to Reflux and Dismotility, my children have had to all use medications ranging from Mirolax to Reglan. When our Paris was having liver symptoms her Hepatologist recommended we put her on a probiotic and at the time there was only one brand she recommended that actually worked, which was about 25.00 a box.

1. Apparently I complain too much because when I said "I am going to throw up" she replied "No, Mama's don't throw up they just about to throw up."2. You know you have too many children when your 4 year old says while leafing through a book about babies, "Mama, next time you have a baby in your tummy, I want it to look like this one."

After being told to calm down with her little brother and ignoring the warning, I pulled Paris' hands off of her brother. Forgetting herself she swatted me on the arm and then looked up at me in horror. I gasped and was about to start the lecture and hand out punishment, when Paris put her tiny hand over my mouth and said, "Don't say a word."I've found it very interesting that Paris suddenly

I thought I would give bland popcorn a try with just salt one night, as my husband and I were going to be out that night and I didn't want to worry about my son getting into his sister's movie snack and having a reaction. I used white corn kernals and popped them on the stove old-fashioned style with corn oil. As I was adding the salt I recalled how I have added corn oil to other things like

I just found out that Children't vitamins can contain milk in them. It should have, but it never occured to me to check. My son had been taking a daily multi-vitamin which he needs with all his allergies and was reacting alot to uncommon things. I discovered there was milk in his multi-vitamin by chance it struck me to look at the ingredients.

This morning I had a wake up call of sorts, a wake-up call with no sound. My 3 year old, Paris had a hard time waking up due to the time change and losing an hour. I had been up in the middle of the night with Jack and tired myself. Jack was crying so I got him up and peeked my head in Paris' room to ask her to come downstairs. "Oh can you carry me?" she crustily cried. "No, I'm already carrying

I like to cook large pieces of meat and stretch it out for 2 or 3 meals. This is a great way to save money, especially with a large family. I have found a basic method that works with all large meats. I usually have a couple extra flavors I use for each one, but here are the basics.(This can apply to Roast Beef - of course you want to sear this one first, Whole Chicken, Turkey)1 - The Oil and

I have been expirementing with flavors, as I am having a hard time giving up that little dab of butter in my cooking, especially with meats for the extra umph of flavor. But, since I love my son more than butter, a substitute has been found. I use corn oil. In my opinion it kind of tastes like butter. So, instead of rubbing some butter on the skin on my whole chicken, I splatter it with corn

Today I went grocery shopping with Paris, my almost 4 year old. I went down each isle, as I had run out of everything we need to eat and have a comfortable family life at home. Paris kept jumping up and down from beside the shopping cart, like a small dog trying to see over a screen door, yipping "Mama can I help, can I help?" I would pick something essential to my children's nutrition or

I have been getting upset watching the news regarding John Travolta's son's death. The people talking about seizures and the Travolta's religion are doing a disservice to those who live with epilepsy. From my own experience with my daughter's seizures I would just like to set the record straight, somewhere. Seizures can not always be controlled with medication or even multiple medications.

The best Scalloped Potatoes I ever had were at a fancy restaurant a couple of years ago. I went home and the next day tried to duplicate what I had tasted. Alot of it had to do with the combination of textures which I think makes recipes successful, besides flavor.

Sometimes mistakes are just that, mistakes, like when earlier this week I accidentally spilled all my graham cracker crust into my pumpkin pudding.

Children are the variable in the scientific experiment of being a parent that you really can not predict the outcome. You may know if you add an element of values, an element of love and an element of discipline you have a pretty good shot at success. But, we really do not know until they grow up and sometimes after they grow up. Sometimes something happens that makes you realize the lesson

I came up with this little twist on the Green Bean Casserole when I was cooking at my mother's and had forgotten an ingredient. I think what makes a really good casserole is the perfect balance between smooth and crunchy, lots of flavor and just enough salt. I try to remember that when you add cheese to a recipe you are usually adding salt.Becca's Green Bean CasseroleCrunchy: Crispy Bacon and

When my 6 year old daughter Elise started having seizures at 7 months old, you can imagine I was scared. At the time, the doctors we had were not that great. Because of insurance plan restraints we were stuck with a system that cared by prevention, but once you actually had a problem, there was not much expertise. They were not even acknowledging she was having seizures. I started searching the

% efficiency = useful energy / total energy usedMy biggest pet-peeves are repetition and inefficiency, each creates the other and they equally bug me. Seven years ago when my career was in the work force I would read up on how to work efficiently and learned you should never touch a paper or email more than once. When I became a housewife I tried to apply this theory to my home. If I am going

As I am beginning to reflect on all that I am thankful for this Thanksgiving, there is much for me to show gratitude to The Creator for. One of the biggest blessings is the health of my 6 year old daughter Elise this year. She has come so far from a little girl who used to have frequent pneumonia, seizures, and a laundry list of other serious symptoms due to her Mitochondrial disease. This

First Christmas Dinner 1996My first year married I decided to roast my first turkey, I consulted Martha Stewart and got some idea of how to do it. Over the years I have picked up different methods to make it tasty and juicy. If you want to tackle the turkey this year, you can do it, it's easy, but it's going to take some tender loving care. For the next 12 hours the turkey is your baby. I like

The Little ThingsIf you wonder what you’ve done, on this your 65th year,It’s the little things, when added up, that do not seem so mere.The little things that you have done like laughing away a tear,Or “don’t worry I’m holding your bike back here”,Then, “Oh, no, you’re not!", joy gives way from fear.Little things like bumpy rides up, up, up the stair,Then bedtime stories told, with a maiden

Every Saturday morning the kids and I have cinnamon rolls. Having a little one I have very small windows of opportunity to cook, and most packaged cinnamon rolls take about an half an hour to cook after thawing. Here's what I do:Crescent Cinnamon Rolls- Take all the crescents out of a roll and lay them on a pan- Butter all the crescents- Sprinkle all the buttered crescents with cinnamon and sugar

With all the allergies and asthma going around in our house, we seem to always go through a couple rounds of persistent coughing in all the kids. The only thing I have found that helps them get through the night is Vapor Rub and cups of water. I don't think cough medicine really works, at least not for my kids. If you're concerned about the medication in Vapor Rub absorbing in the skin, I put it
