I adore you all, by the way! Here's a picture of the valentines my girls gave out. The one of Penguin is a preliminary version - the final one had five hearts going down the left side, reading "Happy" "Valentine's" "Day"

(Of course, the ones Pumpkin has done aren't the same ones that I've done... so none of them are out the door yet, but progress had been made, really.) We were going through the list we'd jotted down

How many vegetables can one's children NOT eat before they get scurvy? When will one's children start enjoying foods that are all mixed up? How many times in a single two hour drive can two children ask, "Are we there yet?" How many

For my (mostly wonderful) husband and (also mostly wonderful) children. For my family & friends. For my health. For the comfortable life I lead. I am grateful. Also, now I think it's time to eat.  Again.  Yay,

I've gotten so out of the habit of writing here that it's only Day #3 of National Blog Posting Month & I'm already struggling for ideas.  Man, good thing I'm doing this. :) So I toodled over to the NaBloPoMo site and checked out their writing prompts.  Yesterday's caught my attention: If you knew that whatever you ate next

(c) 2011 Ms. Huis Herself at musenmutter.blogspot.com I realized today our flannel sheets are much like the soon-to-leave-us Daylight Savings time - not the "standard," but around for more than half the year anyway. Such are the ways my mind meanders while I try to deal with the 4 bunches of celery, big ol' stalk of Brussel sprouts, and other end-of-the-CSA and dying-garden bounty.  It's back

Yes, I know I've been neglecting this poor little blog terribly, so to get myself back in the habit (and to catch any of you who are still occasionally checking in back up with our lives), I'm going to do National Blog Posting Month again this November.  So, check back in often & we'll see how I do!
