My name is Anita DeFrank and I am a soda-holic. Isn’t that the first step? Seriously, ask my friends and they’ll tell you they never see me without a pepsi in my hands. 24/7/365
That’d be why I’m really excited about this new product I found via Twitter of my good [...]
Is your child being served Peanut Butter at School
I really never thought I’d have to make a post such as this but unfortunately, it’s becoming more and more apparent that I do. Do you know for sure whether or not child is being served peanut butter or any of the other items on the recall list at school?
I have to assume that [...]

Disappointed children, complaining parents, unreasonable gift requests and angry family members? Oh my!
There was a story featured on Yahoo’s homepage this morning about how to hold a child’s birthday party for under $100. Cool – gotta read this!
A lot of [...]

School Starting Already?
I really shouldn’t complain. The kids going back to school means I have time to work. Much needed quiet time without hearing “MOOOOOM! Make him STOP!” or any pointless arguments. I’ve really had enough of the daily battles, and I hate to say it, but I’m looking at the school as a really cheap babysitter [...]
Friday, August 8th, 2008Where Did Kara Go?
Sadly I think I’m the only one asking this question to myself right now. I don’t think too many are looking for me, except earlier this summer during the Iowa floods when a few had to email me to make sure I still had a home. Our area, thank goodness, was not effected. I can’t [...]
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008When Do We Lose Our Childhood Dreams?
The other night I was digging in boxes of stuff that my parents have been dumping on me ever since we moved into this house over 7 years ago. Some boxes had old kids books, some had things I’d saved from jr high and high school.
Seeing one particular box with folders and papers from when [...]
Time for Mom
Mom, when was the last time you actually took time for yourself? Just a few extra minutes for mom pampering? I know I’m so bad at this. Gee, I feel guilty taking longer in the tub than what it takes to shave my legs
That’s one of the reasons I like the blog [...]
Personalized Fruit Rollups
I just came across this today and I had to share. Did you know you could have personalized fruit rollup made? You can enter you own message and/or add pictures. How cool is that? Or am I the only nut who’s excited over this? LOL! Looks like it works out to be about $1 per [...]
Monday, May 12th, 2008Chores and Allowances
Oh boy are we having a hard time finding a way to organize which child does what when and how much they can earn. Right now we don’t have anything “set in stone”. Each child basically know their individual chores and what is expected of them. However, these are very, very few. Other than those [...]
