Market and Museum

Posted on January 16, 2010September 10, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

We checked out the Green City Market at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum today. Went thru the museum too while we were there. The market was really crowded, I’d prefer to go when it is not indoors. We didn’t get much, just apples and apple cider. The kids got a huge piece of egg pie…

Spaceship, Baseball, AND Football

Posted on January 15, 2010September 10, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

The three year-old is constantly telling tales of his very involved dealings with stories about his spaceship and all the adventures he has, his football team (he evens tells us when he has practice), and his baseball team. I delved into all of these topics with him a bit further.  Many details have been lacking…

Random Pods

Posted on January 13, 2010September 10, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

Lately I have been listening to more Podcasts. I know, late in the game on this. Pursuing iTunes I notice that Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel is the #2 top podcast. This is so wrong for many reasons. 1) There is only 1 podcast. It is a 1 minute clip of the film. 2)…

Get A Life!

Posted on January 6, 2010July 19, 2011 by Jacky Hackett

As far back as I can I can remember both of parents worked full-time. It never struck as odd that my mom was at work rather than home with us kids. We were busy anyways, that was back in the day when you could play in the neighborhood from dusk to dawn with no phone…

Drunk Chick in a Clay Pot

Posted on January 3, 2010January 11, 2013 by Jacky Hackett

Before the holidays I was making great progress on clearing out the fridge, freezer, and pantry.  When my husband goes to the store he tends to stockpile like the stores will just up and close one day.  The holidays wiped out any and all progress.  Today I did a major detox of the food situation. …

What is a resolution anyway?

Posted on January 2, 2010September 10, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

I am late in the game as far as resolutions go, it has been a busy year already! I don’t generally make New Year’s resolutions, at least I don’t think I do. What is a resolution anyway? In the context on New Years it seems to be a resolve or determination: to make a firm…

Jillian Michaels, you Bitch!

Posted on January 1, 2010September 10, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

I mean that with all due respect, your Wii workout has kicked my ass. I am sore from head to toe. Seriously, anything I drop has to be really valuable for me to dare bend over and to retrieve it. Ouch! Getting fit and losing weight is one of my main focuses in the New…
