John is the computer person in our house, I can do things after he shows me but basically I get confused easily! Being at the lake with his laptop and dial up service has thrown me for a loop. I don’t know how to put pictures up on the blog with this computer set up [...]
We were recently given a copy of The Travel Adventures of Lilly P Badilly; Costa Rica by Debbie Glade to share with the kids and review. All three of our kids are currently VERY fascinated by bugs and since Lilly P. Badilly is a millipede this book came just at the right time! Lilly P [...]
Sorry dogs but you need to stay home! Today we are leaving for our only summer vacation this year, a trip to see Grandma Penguin at the lake! I’ve been bad with blogging between our site issues and trying to pack our family of 5 for a camping trip. We’ll be pitching our tent right [...]
Did you know jello jigglers also double as refrigerator magnets! This was Jamie’s doing. I wish she coudn’t open the fridge! I’ve written about Jamie and the fridge before but she also is into the freezer looking for “pops” all the time now. I tried putting the lock thats on the door in this picture [...]

The problem only occurs with sites using permalinks that include “index.php”. I rolled back to the previous version of our theme and [...]
I upgraded to WordPress 2.6 yesterday and love the improvements to image handling, but we discovered today that it broke our theme. I have been planning on switching our theme for awhile now, but that will have to wait. There is a new version of our current theme WPAndreas01 that supports the latest versions of [...]
When all else fails and things aren’t going right I need to remember that letting the kids sit on the counter to help me make something yummy is always sure to turn the day around! Yesterday was not the best day. The morning was a cranky one and John accidentally took my keys with him [...]
For some unknown reason we had no internet yesterday and most of today so I couldn’t write about Ben and Jamie’s birthday party yesterday! Now its late and I’m just putting up some pictures of the fun! It was our Red, White & Blue themed party (sort of a 4th of July birthday party). I [...]
