Teenie-Tiny Snowmen on Mar 7, 2010 in Family We got to make snowmen when it snowed in Austin some two weeks ago…. So they’re tiny, hee hee. We could have made bigger ones but that would mean disturbing the tiny patches of land fronting the homes of our neighbors. They might n...

Tennis Weather in Winter on Feb 27, 2010 in Abby We’ve been living in Texas for almost three years now and I have to say, this winter seems to be the longest we’ve experienced. We usually start experiencing spring weather as early as the days after the New Year. Last weekend, howeve...
Fresh Salsa and Chips on Feb 24, 2010 in Food I made Fresh Salsa for the very first time a few days before SuperBowl Sunday. Hubby and I loved it so much that there was just no going back to bottled salsa. I divided the salsa into two, one for our little girl and one for Hubby and me. I ch...
