Tried and REALLY True

So, I am totally addicted to trying out new recipes. I think it adds a little excitement to the otherwise mundane task of cooking dinner. You never know how things are going to turn out! Some recipes have been decent, some not so good (sorry Andy), and others have become new favorites. I just tried this recipe on Sunday and it is at the top of the list! Andy said as far as salads go, on a scale from 1 to 10, this salad gets a 12! You HAVE to try it and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy it! If you have any recipes you want to share with me, I would love to try them out!



p.s. I like to use Sunkist Almond Accents Butter Toffee Glazed

Happy Labor Day!

We went to the Beach on Lake Eerie today with some friends. Avery's bathing suit is a little too big for her (it worked pre-potty training days but now so much now)so she's showing some baby crack. I couldn't resist taking a picture! Andrew LOVES the sand and despite my efforts, he ate a few handfuls. Last time we went to the beach it took him a week to poop it all out.

Daddy's Red Tooter

Andy and his friend Shane have been carpooling to school for the last year, but parking has become a pain, so they decided to buy scooters so that they can park right under the school and save on gas. They are like 2 little boys in a candy shop with their new scooters. They try to find every excuse they can to go riding. Avery can't say her "s" very well, so she calls them tooters. Shane has a blue tooter and daddy has a red tooter. they say that they are going to ride them in the winter, but we'll see how long they last ;)

Twinkle Toes

Avery started dance class two weeks ago and it is seriously the cutest thing I have ever seen. All of the moms had perma-grins during the entire class. Watching a bunch of 2 year olds dance around in tutus is so much fun. I can't wait for the recital!

These are a few of my favorite things

Warning: Possible Side affects

Okay, so I have been contemplating starting a blog for the last couple of weeks and haven't done it for fear of realizing how boring my life really is. I know I'm not really funny, I AM a dork, and I wish I was more creative. So, with that said, you have been warned, but we would still love for you to humor us and visit our site to see all that is happening with the Ingersoll bunch here in Cleveland, Ohio. I guess my main goal in starting this blog is to show off all of the cute pictures of my kids and share mommy moments that only other moms can really appreciate. So let the blogging journey begin...
