Our Family Motto: What’s That Smell?

by GeekMom on December 26, 2007

The most frequently asked question in our home is, “What’s that smell?”

What? PPV Cartoons for Little Shoppers?

by GeekMom on December 26, 2007

I think we watch too much television. That goes for my whole family. Kids, grown-ups, everybody. And I know we should cut back. I admire the families that have the gumption and commitment to turn it off for a week, or even get rid of it altogether, but I am not [...]

Blizzard Bracelet: Thinking of sunshine and citrus!

by GeekMom on December 16, 2007

Here is a photo of what I did this afternoon. We had a big snow/ice/wind event this weekend, so even church was cancelled. I don’t mind winter weather, as long as I don’t have to drive on ice. Besides, I needed to make a Christmas gift for someone, so I came up [...]
