H1N1 Has Taken Over Our House

November 5, 2009

Would you pray for us? Early last week we were hit with H1N1 (it’s been confirmed with a swab test), and it’s still hanging on. Pumpkin Doodle seems better at this point, but Sean just got it last night, and Monkey Doodle’s cough returned with a vengeance. I’m not sure if Sunshine Doodle’s is still [...]

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Diamond Edition

October 28, 2009

I was so excited when I was given the chance to review the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Diamond Edition movie through One2One Network.

It is rare that I experiment in the kitchen and don’t end up regretting it. This experiment was more the result of me trying to salvage a dish after a royal screw up than anything else, but since it turned out so well, I wanted to share! I love me some sweet potato casserole, and [...]

September 24, 2009

I don’t often do product reviews here at Doodles’ Place (I’m on a mission to declutter, and product reviews in general tend to lead to more stuff), but when  One2One Network announced that they were looking for bloggers to review the new Harry Connick, Jr. CD — Your Songs — I immediately submitted my name/blog.

A Bird Book

September 21, 2009

I wish I could take credit for this project because it’s probably the coolest one we’ve ever done, but the truth is that Pumpkin Doodle came up with it all on her own. One day last week, she set out on an “adventure” with her Pop, and when she returned, she declared that she wanted [...]
