Hello, everyone! Welcome back to another edition of Creative Juice. The past two months, I've put my blogging here on low to work more over at the teaching site. I have so many projects and ideas just sitting in drafts, but Karen and I finally opened our digital clip art shoppe over at etsy: Clip art is great for DIY blog … [Read more...]
Hello, friends! Welcome back to another week of Creative Juice! This past weekend, I conquered one of the biggest energy vampires©- {wink!} here at the frat house. A decade of stress-inducing ugliness in the making turned much more pleasant. Stop by here, and tell me what you think! Please share your energy vampires in the comments! … [Read more...]
Hello, everyone! Hope this finds you well. Welcome back to another edition of Creative Juice.

If you need ideas for St. Patrick's Day for any preschoolers - thru second graders in your life, there's a boatload of ideas for … [Read more...]
Hello, friends! Welcome back to another edition of Creative Juice. In case you don't "like" me over at facebook, Moose overcame one of his big sensory problems...wearing a hat! There are some more MAJOR developments going on here at the frat house, that I refuse to jinx-so I can't spill the news just yet. Please send prayers and good vibes re: … [Read more...]
Most mornings when I was growing up, breakfast was a bowl of heavily advertised sugared cereal, washed down with orange-juice or flavored milk. I remember being famished by 10:00 am. After working closely with a nutrionist for my family last year, she advised a protein and good fat heavy breakfast, which often means I bypass [...]
Tired of ground beef or chicken tacos? This is a knock-off of a taco from de cero restaurant here in Chicago. An added bonus: it’s gluten, dairy, soy, and nitrate/nitrite free.
