Ivy says: This one will be short and sweet. I missed my alarm today, so we missed church. Then, a bit later, I laid down and took a four hour nap. Hey, Sunday’s supposed to be a day or rest, right? Unfortunately, my kids totally trashed the house while I slept, so I have quite …
Ivy says: One might call me frugal; one might even call me cheap, especially when it comes to certain things. For example, I’ve needed new underwear for the longest time. It took Mr. Ivy begging me to spend some money and buy some underwear to get me to buy any. And even then, I bought …
Heather says: Today I am laying my cards on the table. This week’s confession? I can be lazy. Not just a little, I mean deep down in the bones lazy. I have four recipes to post. The pictures? Oh, they are still on the camera. Why wasn’t there a menu Monday last week? Yep, you …
Heather says: Well Home Eccers, I have a few things to get off my chest this week. My tree is still decorated, even though I had planned on only leaving up the Nativity set for the Feast of the Epiphany. I didn’t send any Christmas cards and have yet to write a single thank you …
Ivy says: Alright, Home Eccers, here’s my confession: I have bought very few presents for my kids for Christmas this year because I have no idea what to get them. They all have too much stuff already. In addition, other than the things I’m making for people and one gift I’ve bought for my brother, …
Ivy says: Let’s hear how your Thanksgiving went! Was it fabulous, or were there some mishaps? Mine was fab, since I went to my mom’s and all was taken care of. We brought a pie, which my cousin had brought down from Indianapolis (sugar cream pie, apparently you can only get them in Indy, unless …
Heather says: This week we’ve discussed our favorite Thanksgiving dishes. Now it’s time to ‘fess up and share the worst thing you’ve ever tasted at the Turkey Day table. I’m not sure if the dish that immediately springs to mind was ill-prepared or simply a travesty to start, but I will never forget a dressing …
Ivy says: I’m skipping church today for a much better reason than I did several weeks ago. Several weeks ago, the excuse was, no clean underwear. And I didn’t think I could go to church commando. My mom calls that, “ox in the ditch” time. I call that “Home Ec 101 Seal of Disapproval” time. …
Heather says: I suppose we could call this the Doh! Episode or perhaps it’d best be filed under the “We’re Not Smart Enough to Own Appliances.” Last Sunday dragging ourselves home after a day spent as manual labor, my husband and I were dismayed to find the fridge door slightly ajar. I accused him of …
Heather says: Sometimes, when Mr. Heather is home, I take my laptop into the kitchen, load the recipe for what I’m creating onto one tab, and linger attending dishes that really don’t need me. I check my email, chat with Ivy, etc “Can you get the baby? I’m busy making dinner!” Cue the sound of …
