I’ve been writing the weekly feature I am Blissfully Domestic every Monday night for what will be 29 weeks tomorrow. It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed.  Seriously, my first I am BD post was on November 3rd, the day before election day. Doesn’t that feel like a world ago? 
Anyway, if you [...]

Yesterday my husband and I noticed that our golden retriever, Sammy, was breathing a little harder than normal. On top of that, she didn’t want to eat or drink anything. Even though she is 13 years old she’s always been healthy and spry, so this scared us a bit. Not wanting to take any chances, [...]

Hubs and I are hoping to go snowmobiling later today, but it all depends on whether we can get the belt changed in my machine. I’m crossing my fingers.
If we do, I’ll take my camera and post photos later today.
Update: Steve changed the belt and my machine is running fine. Now he just has to [...]

Well, the past day or so has been a bit crazy. It’s been so crazy that I don’t feel very blissfully domestic right now.  Caring for a sick baby is certainly domestic, but it’s not of the blissful variety.
My poor little 13 month old son started throwing up yesterday evening.  He has recently been doing [...]

Pot roast to be exact was for dinner last night, and it turned out wonderfully! And it was really simple to make, so I thought I’d share the recipe.

2 teaspoons olive oil
3 pounds boneless chuck roast
1 onion, chopped
4 medium unpeeled potatoes cut into pieces
baby carrots – as many as you want
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay [...]

Gingerbread cookies! And Sarah at Blissfully Domestic’s Blissful Food has a great recipe that’s not only yummy but is really low in fat. She tried out a couple different recipes to make sure she had the perfect flavor for the season.  It sounds heavenly. Check it out.

We’re having our first snow storm here in northern Michigan. The snow started falling around 10:15 this morning and it’s been falling all day. We’ve accumulated about 4-5 inches so far and we’re expecting more over night. So what do we do with all that snow? Build a snowman of course. When Little Man got [...]

Yesterday was my son’s sixth birthday. I simply can not believe that six years has gone by already. Six years since my first baby was born. *Sigh*
Excuse me while [...]
