Planning for my daughter’s birthday party put me in the mood for something sweet. Cake, cookies, candy. Just a little something sweet. We don’t typically keep sweet things in the house. Occasionally a bar of dark chocolate or ice cream. I have too much of a sweet tooth and very little will power when it […]
August first marked the start of the new school year for us, and I will confess I did a little happy dance that day. B was ready to go back to school. And while 7:15 comes entirely too soon for me, I love getting back into a routine. I love that little downtime between dropping […]
As I’ve gradually emerged from my first trimester funk (13 weeks tomorrow!), I’ve found myself using my kitchen again. My house is once more filled with sweet aromas, and my children are thrilled that I’ve been baking again. And thanks to the wonderful world that is Pinterest, I have a stash of crazy easy, minimal […]
For the last few years, my husband and I have steadily moved away from store bought gifts at Christmas and towards hand made gifts. This year will be no different. We have a few store bought things (mainly for each other and the kiddos in our lives, plus a few off the wall gifts, like […]
Pre made pizza dough from Trader Joe’s is a wonderful thing to have in your fridge, especially when the youngest member of the household has been struck by a nasty stomach virus and your oldest is running around pretending to be a ninja turtle (cowabunga!).

Finally. Six months after the fact, I finally put my hot pink 13.1 magnet on the back of my car. It’s crazy to think it’s been six months since I ran my first mini. It’s crazy to be thinking about running mini marathon #2. First things first, run the 2013 Hangover run on […]

It was an omg woohoo! kind of moment when I stumbled across a recipe on Pinterest for a recipe for Spaghettio’s. Like so many other kids out there, mine LOVE a can of Spaghettio’s. I’m not so much of a fan. Highly processed stuff in a can with 9000 ingredients isn’t my cup of tea. […]
Today has been a slightly trying day. It started off wonderfully and took a most unfortunate turn downhill. Mostly thanks to my oldest. I think he’s a little stir crazy and needs to be around little ones his own age again. Thank goodness school starts next Monday! A few weeks ago, I found a recipe […]
Let me tell you something about my kids. They can eat. And eat and eat. It’s not stop. Can I have a snack? Snackie peas? I eat snack? Can I have dessert now? Fruit snacks are always quite popular, but…well, take a peak at the ingredients in General Mills Fruit Roll ups. Pears from concentrate, […]
