Finally have TV again after seven months of static! | #tv

We've had satellite TV for less than a week, and let's just holy overload, batman! It's been so great, while dealing with sick kiddos, to sit in front of the TV and be able to watch just about anything we want, after not having ANY TV (except for Netflix and Hulu) for seven months.  Count them. SEVEN months.  Not even local channels.  Ok, I take that back, we got about 20 Spanish channels really and however, I don't speak Spanish!  At all! Of course, we've kept up with our shows as best we couple with Netflix and Hulu, but it's…

Teen down. Teen down.

This weekend, Kylie went the Hot Hearts Youth Conference in Beaumont where she was surrounded by about 7,400 other kiddos, and they had an absolute blast! This week, it's a different story. Sunday night, she started running a low grade fever.  The youth were leading the Sunday night service at church, so my mom took her up there so the could get up and speak about conference. Apparently, they are housed in various churches, and a few of the leaders told us that they had the A/C set to around 45 degrees (who does that!?), so the kids were freezing…

MailPix Custom Kindle Fire Case Review & Giveaway

My kiddos like to monopolize my Kindle Fire.  The boys play games, watch videos, read, color, and all sorts of things on it.  Very seldom do I actually  have the Kindle in my own two hands!

This is my teen’s idea of a clean kitchen. | #teenagers #teens #fail

Last week, Kylie had an off-the-wall project due in Language arts.  They were reading the book Tom Sawyer, and the teacher gave them a few projects from which to choose.  I can't remember what all of them were, but the only two that Kylie talked about (because she's a cooking freak!) were 1) making jam, and 2) making donuts.  The jam, I get.  The donuts, I don't.  However, she chose donuts.  She found a recipe she liked, tried it out a few days before, and they were pretty good.  So last Wednesday, she made 24 donuts and 24 donut holes.…
