Sometimes thinking of what to have for dinner is such a hard decision! Add in someone on a low/no saturated fat diet (as we all SHOULD be, in my opinion, but wow, is that hard!), a low carb diet, and a picky 2 year old...choosing what to eat for dinner is tricky! Last night, the low carbers splurged a bit with this yummy recipe for panko breaded oven fried fish sticks! (although whole wheat panko would be totally acceptable!) We served View Post
We had a great time at Cherokee Day this past Saturday! If you don't know what Cherokee Day is, well, let me tell you! Cherokee Home For Children is a children's home located in Cherokee, Texas. (of course!) Cherokee is teensy, tiny little town in Central Texas. The home services children from 2-18 years old. There are six cottages that the children live in, and also a basketball gym, recreation center, View Post

What a great win last night for the Dallas Mavericks! Now, to settle something.. Daddy Fussybuckets and his friend, Michael, have a friendly debate going on. Who does Rick Carlisle, the coach of the Mavs look more like.... Jim Carrey or Mark Moses ("Paul Young" from "Desperate Housewives")?? We won't tell you what either person thinks so not to sway your vote.....but tell us....WHO does he look like View Post
Let's go, Mavs!!!This custom made Dallas Mavericks diaper was made by work-at-home mom company, Mama Marsh's Creations! What a great diaper!! View Post
We love cloth diapering here at the Fussybuckets House. LOVE.IT. The diapers are adorable (even the boy ones!), the ease of washing them is actually fun (believe it or not), and the idea that we're not wasting disposables is fabulous. We're in a good groove. But, there was a time that this mommy was NOT happy about cloth diapers. Back when we first started cloth diapering, I ignored the message boards and websites that said you had to get a View Post
We've been to the doctor a lot in the past 3 years. Prenatal visits, well baby visits, sick visits, you know how it goes. Waiting usually isn't a big deal, UNLESS you have a hungry, sick, sleepy, fed up baby or 2 year old. (So basically waiting stinks unless we're kidless. ha!) When we lived in Central Texas, we went to Scott & White clinics and hospitals. Most S&W clinics have a sign that says "If you've View Post
First up, Mommy here. My dear husband wrote this blog a few days ago. He told me what he was doing and spent a lot of time preparing his thoughts and clicking away on the laptop. I told him....that this wasn't the place for this. Our blog had a different purpose than this. Now, a few days later, I stand corrected. God is a huge part of our lives. He has blessed us immensely and our purpose in LIFE is View Post
Our precious Baby D is 4 months old today (okay, technically not until 10:25 PM!) Happy four months birthday, sweet baby!!!! And to celebrate, he took an hour and forty minute nap! YIPEEEE!!!! Of course it was probably because he was exhausted from spending the day yesterday with family and attending his auntie & uncle's baby shower! View Post
