This cute stuffed bunny kept popping up In my Facebook newsfeed, which piqued my curiosity. So I read the post that accompanied the little bunny. The post was put up by Amy Wallawine. She works at the local Lowe's and posted the bunny pic on multiple group sites that I'm a member of. When I read the post I knew that I had to try to help! Wait until you hear why Amy posted the bunny pic ... Read Mo

I'm feeling a little bit let down after Halloween ... Why? I decided this year that I would participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project for kids with food allergies. I painted my pumpkin teal, bought non-food treats, registered my house on The Teal Pumpkin Project website and stayed home instead of trick or treating with my family. Then I waited and waited and waited and waited and waited.

With my two older sons out of the nest, it's nice to still have two younger kids in the house who still want to do all the fun holiday stuff -- which means carving pumpkins. And now, we also have my niece, who recently moved from Texas, living next door, so she joins in on the family fun. They all carved pumpkins together this year.

Rik and I competed in Northwest Harvest's third annual Carve Out for Hunger celebrity pumpkin carving contest over the weekend. It's the first time I've competed, but Rik is a seasoned pro who informed me that the team to beat was KNDO!

Rik and his wife are arguing over how to pack and move. Megan, Rik's wife, is a planner like me. You pack like-minded things in boxes together and label them so that when you unpack the moving truck those labeled boxes go in the corresponding room.

A new survey from YouGov finds that 47 percent of adults don't wear socks with sandals and that 31 percent of adults don't wear black socks with white shoes.

My little Shaylee informed me that she needed to do an interview for a school project. I asked, "who?" She said, "You, mom." She pulled out her paper with the questions printed on it. She had already filled out the top two questions.

Thumbing through the mail I came across an odd letter ... it was addressed to my son Mathew from himself? I couldn't wait for him to come home from college so he could open the letter ... curiosity was killing this momma cat!
