I came up with this recipe on Saturday night when I had left over limes and mint leaves from when I made "regular" mojitos for our guests a few nights prior. I felt like jazzing up the regular recipe, so I decided to add some cantaloupe in my mojito as well. According to the hubs, my melon mojito got 2 thumbs up! And the best part is that's it low-cal because there isn't any regular ...

The subject of kids and happiness came up at work today, and the discussion seemed to focus on one of my colleague's observations that the UNHAPPIEST kids that he's seen (and he's spent time in places like Cuba, Mexico, etc.) seem to be right in his very own rich neighborhood here in America. The kids that seem to have everything - tangible, material things - are the ones that are unhappy and drift towards using ...
A couple of weekends ago when we were at the Austin Art Festival, my kids took part in what I like to call "marble art". The official name of this art had a much cooler name, but my mommy brain has totally kicked in tonight and I can't remember what it's officially called.

I have never lost my children. Ever. Anywhere. They might be "missing" for about 2.5 seconds because they hide behind a pole or duck into some high grass to pluck some flowers. But never have ...
