  1. Ready To Be A Teen Mom?

    January 10, 2012 by Kasy Allen

    Teen Pregnancy

    I think there’s a lot for teen mothers to learn (of course there are), but I think because I had my first child at 18, I have a few things to say.

    First of all, you have to want to be a good mom when you have a kid at such a young age (I know, easier said than done), but most teens are typically more into themselves than anyone or anything else – shocking I know, but it’s true.  Look at your friends, what are they into – Boys? School?  Partying? New clothes? New makeup?  New anything?  Guess, what… that’s over.

  2. Grilled Cheese Sandwich for French Onion Soup

    December 27, 2011 by Kasy Allen

    As mentioned in the French onion soup recipe I posted, our family prefers to serve a grilled cheese sandwich on the side of this soup so that it stays crispy, and the kids always find soups better with a side of grilled cheese.

  3. Crockpot French Onion Soup

    December 27, 2011 by Kasy Allen

    When it comes to French onion soup, you have to start by making sure you get the right types of onions.  Sweeter onions, like walla walla and vidalia will make your soup sweeter.  The onions mentioned in the ingredients are what our family has found to give the soup a perfect taste when cooked down.

  5. A Letter To My Husband

    November 14, 2011 by Kasy Allen

    I Love You

    I love you more than you know.  I love how funny you are, I love when you take the time to text me just to tell me I’m beautiful and I love that you love me.  If I could tell our nieces what love is in a man, I would tell them that it is the feeling of being safe, secure and loved, and that is exactly what you give me.  (more…)

  6. Potty Training is for the Boys

    November 9, 2011 by Kasy Allen

    Potty TrainingIf you’ve ever potty trained a child, you know it’s no easy feat and usually involves a lot of bribing.  I have two boys, so I’ve never had the pleasure of potty training a girl, but I’ve heard from plenty of other parents that have both, that boys are stubborn as hell when it comes to potty training –yay for us (this is dripping with sarcasm).  With our youngest we thought we had potty training techniques down to a science; I mean come on, we’d already gone through potty training with a child with a disability and that was one of the most challenging experiences ever.  But no, little brother (a.k.a. White Bread) can put up a fight like you wouldn’t believe.  (more…)

  7. The Shirt Off His Back

    November 8, 2011 by Kasy Allen

    When it comes to fights between my husband and me, they’re usually pretty normal; I mean, everyone’s fights end in torn shirts right?

    My husband is known for wearing hole-y clothes (is it holey or hole-y?).  It drives me insane, but mainly because he feels that his hole-y wardrobe is okay to actually wear out in public – to work, to dinner, everywhere.  I’ve tried throwing away these clothes, but he digs them out of the trash and gets angry with me that I even attempted to throw away his “good” shirts.  If I really want to get rid of anything, I have to smuggle it out of the house and throw it away elsewhere, then just hope that he doesn’t miss it.
