No bento today. I woke up slowly to a gray day and couldn’t get myself up until the waking of kids compelled me to. Not much on the agenda for today. I did pick up some art literacy forms from the school that I want to re-do. The person that has been running it is done this […]
Here comes summer! Who is ready?! First, choose a container that suits the personality of the person who will be using the kit. It might be a traditional basket, since there are pie baskets made by hand to carry around pie and other foods, a large canvass bag, or even a small backpack. Next, use […]
Only 2 bento so far this week; I ended up sending a laptop lunchbox instead one day because his lunchbox got left in the car and I didn’t have a chance to get it washed and ready to go in time. Today was his pre-picked hot lunch day.  (I’ve been letting Kidlet pick up to […]
I’m on a bento break until school resumes after the first of the year. Kidlet wants to do hot lunch this week (although “hot” lunch days have consisted of PB and J one day and yogurt another, heh), and then its winter break.
I am not participating in the FNCCC this week. It is Duff Goldman, the cake guy. He’s got a few recipes from food network magazine that are a grill menu (not happening; its below freezing here) and otherwise the plan is to decorate cakes or cupcakes. I don’t bake! It’s stressful and not relaxing and […]
New computer isn’t quite ready; I’m transitioning now. Coming down with something, stuffy and feeling yucky. General Tricks Bring back a closed tab We have dedicated a section to web browsing further down below, but this one is too useful to be missed. Accidentally closed a tab? Simply press Ctrl + Shift + T to […]
I don’t shop on Black Friday. I like shopping, but I really don’t like crowds. It’s why I avoid malls too, unless I just can’t get what I want anywhere else. The hubby though — he went out and braved the masses of people to do some electronics Christmas shopping. Except that he is giving […]
A while back I read Bunches and Bits idea of creating a parent-teacher conference survival basket. I thought it was such a great idea, that I stole it for gifting our teacher (Teacher N) when our conferences finally rolled around (yesterday). I decorated a basket with some pretty ribbon and filled it with shredded paper. I included […]
As you might have noticed, I did NOT get my menu plan done this week (yet?). I shopped for lunch stuff for kidlet, and that’s about it. All I know for sure is that Monday or Tuesday I will be making Roasted Carrot and Parsnips for the FNCCC. I wanted to do a beef recipe […]
We got to open ended art a little late this week. I put out a bag of feathers, air drying clay, clay tools, and wiggly eyes.  First he said “With feathers I can make Kevin!” (from the movie “Up”) but that quickly became generic feathered friends once he realized how hard Kevin would be 😉 […]
