Salmon & Spinach

In an effort to eat better I have made myself this scrumptious meal the other day. It's salmon seasoned with salt, peppercorn, Italian seasonings and fresh lemon slices. The spinach was sauteed in olive oil on the stove. Then, I added some melted butter with garlic powder & peppercorn to the spinach for flavor.

Fried egg & spinach sandwich

My latest culinary creation...a fried egg and spinach sandwich with taco shredded melted cheese on wheat with a side of sliced tomatoes with salt & peppercorn on top. Nom, nom, nom!

Back to School!

Well, it is that time of year, again. Back to school!

Evan will be entering kindergarten (*sniff*). And, Tyler (my baby) will be entering 2-day pre-school (*double sniff*). Okay...hand me the kleenex!

My Mom (being the experienced Back-to-School shopper she is after having 5 children) has already been purchasing clothes for Evan as his school has a uniform dress code. And, she has been asking whether I want to get this or buy that. Honestly, shopping is not my forte. So, I'm happy she's willing to lend me a hand in this department. The whole thing is overwhelming to me.

Are there any other Moms out there who feel the same way?

What do (or did) you do to ease into "Back-to-School" mode in your household?

Here are some workbooks you can try with your pre-school or kindergarten-aged kids:

Ant Season - Natural Remedies?

It's that time of year, again. The sun is shining. The sun porch is open.

And, then...there are ants...

Yep...just found some small little friends in the sun porch. I would prefer to avoid ant traps from the store since Evan and Tyler are liable to pick it up and play with it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for natural remedies?
