When I finally got on the computer this morning, I saw that my oldest son, C., had left a comment on my last post. That comment says: “Could you please write a new post soon?”
C. faithfully checks my blog almost daily, and though he isn’t crazy about my posts involving book giveaways or reviews, he [...]

Today is the big day: BooMama’s 2008 Christmas Tour of Homes! In which many, many bloggers share pictures of their holiday decor and then ignore all the baking and wrapping and shopping they should be doing in order to virtually visit everyone’s homes. Sounds like a perfect day to me! So come on in, have [...]

According to my “blog ideas file,” I have a whopping 62 ideas for blog posts. Yet, as you may have noticed, none of those ideas are turning into actual posts.
C. (10) checks my blog every morning and today he said, “Mom, when are you going to put up another post?” I had no answer for [...]

Whew. I made it.
I packed up my stuff, lugged it all down the street, and unpacked it here at the new Callapidder Days.
Things are a bit different here. The decor, the floor plan…it’ll all take a little getting used to.
But it’s still me, Katrina, working behind the scenes. You’ll get the same random assortment of [...]

C. and I are really enjoying our read through The Mysterious Benedict Society, a book about four children engaged in secret mission to fight evil. I get a particular kick out of one of the characters: S.Q. Pedalian. S.Q. is not a major character but he pops up here and there and has a [...]

Way back in June, BooMama issued a challenge for all of us who needed to do a few things around the house…some accountability for a few things that, perhaps, I we had been procrastinating about.
At that time, we had just “finished” turning half of our basement from a concrete-walled cellar into some much-appreciated living and [...]

L.L. Barkat, over at Seedlings in Stone, recently tagged me for a meme. She created this meme herself, and I have to say, I really like it.
Here are the rules:
1. Write about 5 specific ways blogging has affected you, either positively or negatively.2. link back to the person who tagged you3. link back to [...]

It’s been a nice blogging semi-break. And I think I’m back. I say I think, because my brain feels like it has turned to mush, at least as far as blogging goes. The thought of putting 200 or 500 words together in a way that makes sense and is even mildly informative or entertaining is [...]
