This week is the last week of school for my son. Now I must embark on the task of finding activities that will keep my children busy while still maintaining my personal sanity. As I fretted over my own children and what to do with them, I thought back to my childhood summers growing … Continue reading
It’s official! We got our first royalty payment for our Monte’s Misfits books! Granted, our first book was only published for a couple of days in August, but money is money, right? Just keepin’ it real, yo! Plus, it was split four ways! There’s a story behind this card though. Our father grew up … Continue reading
As I sat at my computer this evening skyping with a few of my sisters, one of the husbands texted us and said, “You don’t need to scream. Talk normally.” She read the text out loud, and the rest of us laughed because her voice, though not unusual for a normal Cady conversation, had been … Continue reading

As we sifted through countless boxes, and decades of memories, we stumbled upon several Cady family treasures, which I’m sure we’ll be … Continue reading
About 9 years ago, I went on a diet. Not my first diet. Not my last (sigh). During that period, I lost nearly 90 lbs. Along the way, I picked up several recipes I LOVE and (surprisingly) my family loves too. One of them is Chicken Primavera. It’s SUPER easy, super fast to prepare, and … Continue reading
The Crazy Cady Sisters have made it no secret that we’re writing a non-fiction book about being raised in a family with ten kids. During that time, we figure our parents acquired more than 40 years of parenting experience. Between the four of us sisters, we have accumulated 87 years of parenting. Gasp!
