Jacob and Joey were in the same preschool from 2005-2008 and were two peas in a pod, while Timmy and Johnny were best buddies as the respective little brothers. We took dozens of great road trips together! Joey and Johnny … Read more

Earlier in the week GeekMom solicited … Read more
I’m tickled about two things about this week’s Friday Fill-in: a.) I’m typing this while we’re cruising up I-65 between Montgomery and Birmingham, AL. I schedule it to post on Fridays, but I usually write these up on Thursdays as soon as “Wifey’s” questions come in. We got one of those nifty Verizon 4G modems … Read more

I was delightfully surprised when one of Brandie @ The Country Cook’s friends, Laurie @ Feeding My Ohana, contacted me about how excited she was to see a non-commercial simple Huli Huli Chicken marinade recipe at The Country Cook a couple weeks ago. Laurie tried it and gave it … Read more
