I am a 30-something Facebook junkie. Next year I’ll be a 40-year-old Facebook junkie. Better than a 40-year-old virgin. You’d think…but that might be an entire other blog post in itself. Just sayin’. The fact is, Mark Zuckerberg was on to something when he one-upped Myspace Tom -you know Myspace Tom, he’s everybody’s friend friend hoarder…

A couple of years ago, like many others, I flew from the “kooky coop” for a bit of friendly banter with “real” people. Don’t throw rotten tomatoes if I once called you my Myspace friend and now you are my IRL friend. Just ask yourself, “How long did that take? Was it really worth it?” Oh, and then don’t delete me.

Growing our food

26 May 2010 by Maniacal Mommy

One of the great things about living in my town in Michigan is that it is farm country. There is just something to be said about living where food is grown. Most areas around here have festivals celebrating their major crop, thus we have pickle, corn, and potato festivals to name a few.

Dinner Wars

My life is like that movie “Groundhog Day.” Yes, it feels like I am living the same day, over and over, until I finally get it right.

Obviously, I haven’t gotten it right yet!

One arm only

24 Mar 2010 by Maniacal Mommy

I had a hearty laugh when I saw this gem at the bookstore. Doesn’t it just make you think of all the things you have had to do as a mom, with only one arm free? Or even a leg. JD has learned that clinging to my pants and crying is a very effective way of communicating that 1) I have soiled myself or 2) I need milk desperately.

Let Them Eat Cake

21 Mar 2010 by Maniacal Mommy

The food battle wages on our in household. I continue to prepare meals for my children, and they continue to eye them with great suspicion and sometimes outright disdain.

I had heard of the Sneaky Chef. While it sounded good in theory, I couldn’t see myself prepping up these mysterious blends of fruits and vegetables to slip into our meals. Not to mention Linus pretty much won’t eat anything you could reasonably sneak a vegetable into. My homemade spaghetti sauce was loaded with pureed vegetables. Linus quit eating spaghetti.

What’s cooking?

My Grams will frequently lament on those days she has to run errands how she hates to go home to a house that doesn’t smell nice. By this she means, no good food smells. I have to agree. In the dark days of winter, a house does seem warmer when the aroma of a meal on the stove is tantalizing you. It isn’t that often that her home doesn’t yank at your appetite. I have merely stepped on her porch and caught a whiff of something that made my stomach growl.

I Am Toast

18 Feb 2010 by Mom With A Pen

Look, there’s no revelation or light bulb that goes off. When you are pregnant, irrational thoughts such as “I don’t know why World War II couldn’t have been solved with a slice of chocolate cake and a pint of Chubby Hubby” constantly bombard what is left of your sanity. For some with a rotund belly, they dream of donuts or funnel cakes… under a blanket of powdered sugar. And yes, sometimes that blanket of powdered sugar also gets put on those fried delights as well. Given the circumstances I am craving toast; I think it started with this…

Dinner Time!

15 Feb 2010 by Maniacal Mommy

Fewer things chap my backside more than constantly hearing how family dinners are a panacea for everything from teen pregnancy to better grades in school. Ok, family game night is right up there with it. Watching my kids get all Cain and Abel on each other over a game of Sorry! isn’t my idea of fun. But meal time?

Just add chicken!

19 Jan 2010 by Undomestic Mom

From now on when I do the grocery shopping, I am buying up each and every box with those words on them.

I knew I was going to be on my own for dinner with the girls, as The Husband was still going to be at work. I invited my mom over to eat with us, and decided I would try to make dinner rather than just heat it up. Well, most of it anyway. The mashed potatoes were from a pouch, but I was going to use the Foreman to grill the chicken, and I was going to steam the fresh green beans.
