As February enters most of us start thinking about the end of Winter and looking forward to Spring. … [Read More...]
As you all know, I love to scrapbook and since we have just entered a new year, it’s definitely time to be thinking about making sure all of 2011′s memories are ready to share. So when I was asked to review My Memories Suite, a software just for scrapbooking I was very excited. Deal Alert! For [...]
Winter has descended upon us turning our average rainy Pacific Northwest into a Winter Wonderland complete with snow plowed piles along the side of the road and a power outage for a few hours tonight as well! We had the most amazing beautiful chilly, clear day on Friday with a sunset that lit up the [...]
I love taking pictures, in fact I’m very nearly to the point that my camera doesn’t leave my side. Having fun accessories for my camera though isn’t something that I thought would be a big deal to me, I was so very very wrong. I may not have a top of the line camera, but [...]
Today was officially the first day of school (for all but CJ who starts tomorrow) and wow the excitement was at insane levels this morning. All of the kiddos (again, except for CJ) were up by 5am…yes, I am sure right about now you are totally wishing you were me (LOL). The ruckus was undeniably [...]
As we rummage through all of the vastness that is our children’s back to school supplies, typically not one thing in there is for us. I admit, occasionally I’ll grab a set of yummy pens (I love smooth writing pens so much it’s not even funny!), or a pretty journal, but other than that, nothing! [...]
In true Pacific Northwest fashion, the weather has decided that it’s not ready to give way to summer and spring is holding on with passion. This has meant lots of rain for us this week. Rainy summer days can get old… fast. Lots of energetic boys in one tiny confined area often equals chaos and [...]
When I think of a science fair I can’t help the mental picture of all the wacky volcano experiments gone wrong on various television shows over the years. Amusing as that may be, the reality of helping kids get science projects prepared for a science fair or project at school can be more than a [...]
Happy International Scrapbook Day! I meant to get my list of stops and sales up a few nights ago, but I had no internet so here we are on the actual day and I’m finally posting. What have you been up to already? Any special activities or stops? I got a little jumpstart on it [...]
Boys definitely have a tendency to think they are starving… ALL.THE.TIME. It doesn’t just kick in during the pre-teen years, nope, it starts at birth with many of them (though it kicks in a little later for a few). Since I do not have an “open kitchen” policy, we occasionally have some interesting moments! You [...]
Our oldest son CJ has been missing his smile for several years now. Even when he laughed he would cover his smile so it was very rarely seen. We didn’t fully understand this phenomenon until recently, but we missed that smile terribly! A couple months ago CJ got braces, something that we had put off [...]
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6). This blog is a little piece of my life, a large piece of my sanity and even a bit of my heart thrown in. There are days I laugh … Read more
