I have a social kid. I'm thrilled about it. Now that he's getting older, he makes friends whereever he goes - the park; the coffee shop; the walk-in clinic (he really loves going there!). He particularly likes older kids. You can see his energy level just ramp up the minute … [Read more...]
Portobello Mushroom Lasagna Bianco
I was inspired by a white lasagna I had in Atlanta this year that was made without any tomato sauce. This lasagna recipe is so simple, yet so delicious. The result is a cross between two of my daughter's favourite dishes: Fettuccini Alfredo and Cream of Mushroom Soup. I couldn't cut it … [Read more...]
The Future Is Now.
So, we ended up celebrating the holiday weekend in the children's portion of Duke Hospital's ER. My oldest, Elias, broke his arm swinging from some monkey bars on Sunday afternoon.

Microsoft Outlook 2010- yes!
Last week I decided to try using Outlook 2010 a try. As a Work At Home Mom, relying on many devices and paper calendars got too much to keep organized. I dumped my regular ways and used Outlook for the email and calendar options. Day 1 - after getting used to the different options I felt the … [Read more...]
First Week
We are one week into this whole "I have three kids!" deal and things have been going well. There's no way I'd be able to say that if it weren't for all the help and support we've been flooded with, however.
