Pretend we are on the cast of Home Makeover: Extreme Edition, and FINALLY work on the “big girl” room that was promised to Kayla on her 10th birthday in July! Our boys left to go on a men’s retreat in northern Vermont Friday afternoon with about… Read More While the Boys are Away….
My dad sent me the link to this Superbowl commercial yesterday, and I just had to share it with you for educational purposes. It’s educational in that you will get a bit of Texan culture and history all while watching a Texas-born music star sing about a Texas-only chain grocery store. I know.

I should have posted this LONG ago, but better late than never. When we arrived home from Texas two and a half weeks ago, a special package of gluten free goodness was waiting for me at home.

OK ~ I know you are all DYING to know what I used the leftover almond pulp for, and because I don’t want to keep you from sleeping tonight, I will go ahead and tell you.

Monday morning brought low temps of -15 degrees. That night I went to meet a friend for dinner,… Read More Snow, Arctic Temps, More Snow, Etc.
(Photo of Emeril Lagasse’s beef stew from Food Network) More snow today. There must be about three feet of it at our house. Robert and I went to the gym this morning and there were mountains of snow piled high in the Wal-Mart/Barnes & Noble parking lot, and front loaders actively adding more to the… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Beef Stew & Cornbread
Man, who is born of woman, is short-lived and full of turmoil. Like a flower he comes forth and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not remain. Job 14: 1-2 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf… Read More Sustained in the Extremes
While all of my Massachusetts friends are braving their second snowstorm in two weeks, the Krum fam is enjoying their final, beautiful, sunny, 65 degree day in Texas. Hopefully the snow and ice up north will subside in time for us to land in Newark and Hartford uneventfully. At least our seats are all together… Read More Texas, Texas ~ Yee Haw!
