The Motherload Blog

I hope you guys were going a little crazy without us. I missed you all a lot. Our server went down on Wednesday morning and we have spent the week/weekend (and when I say “we”, I mean “my poor husband”) moving us into a new home with a super awesome web host that can handle our daily needs and has actual real life people to support us.

I was unable to login and update this week so we will be a little off schedule, but nothing too horrible! If I have learned anything, I have learned that I have the most wonderful and patient readers. I hope you all stuck around for us to get back up.

If you have a moment, please say hi! I have been having comment withdrawal… a very sad and complicated disease!

    YAY! And now my life can return to normal. I’m very glad to see you back. I feel like we should throw a little ‘welcome back’ party. So, in your honor, I am now going to get a little bit of chocolate from my stash and celebrate. Other people have stashes like this, don’t they? Then, we can all celebrate!

    YYYYYAAAAAYYYYYY!!! Amy, I’m so happy for you (and all of us!) that your website is restored. Kudos to your hubby! Have a great day!
    P.S. The chicken turned out pretty well this weekend.

    Buttery Rolls?! Oh dear… I was reading all the comments everyone sent to encourage you today and saw buttery rolls several times so I’m going to hurry and copy the recipe into Word so I can reference it later in the week when I can try it. I am dough-phobic too and have botched so many homemade bread recipes in the last few weeks… My son wonders if all homemade bread tastes and feels like a hockey puck?! hee hee

    Christine- I think you will have great success with those rolls. Do you have a bread machine? This Portuguese White Bread is also a family favorite and comes out perfect every single time-

    I hope that helps and don’t give up on bread-making (or give a bread machine a whirl!) ((hugs))

    Glad you are back!!!

    I’m glad you’re back up and running! I figured it was something like that because I knew there was no way you would miss posting your weekly Friday Freebie list. I missed you and am glad everything worked out okay – you are awesome!

    Thanks so much, Mandy, I definitely keep to a regular schedule over here and it has been a weird week not posting or being able to update. Thanks so much for your patience!

    Woo-Hoo!! Darn good thing I know how to find you without your site, otherwise I might be experiencing some Amy/momadvice withdrawal!

    Welcome back!

    I suffered Freebie Friday withdrawal. I pathetically kept refreshing your page to try and find out what was going to be made at Home Depot last weekend.

    :)

    Who could ever live without their Home Depot fix? :) Hopefully we won’t have any more problems so you can make some bird houses :)

    This must be what the “terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day” comment on FB was about. Glad it’s resolved and that you’re back!

    Yay! You’re back! (And yay! the comments are working for me today — they weren’t yesterday. I have been checking in every day, of course.)

    Thank you so much! We were having some formatting issues with the Link Within linky at the bottom so hubby took it out for now. For some reason comments weren’t showing (or in only certain browsers). Thankfully, we have functioning comments, functioning email, and a functioning site now ;)

    I was wondering what happened there. Glad it’s up and running again. Technology can be crazy and give lots of headaches. Yet it’s so great too! Good to see you again.
