My family loves broccoli. There are some weeks where we have it multiple times. We steam it, we cover it with cheese (everything is better with cheese), we put butter on it. So in the hopes of mixing it up a bit, I went to Pinterest. Oh, how I love Pinterest for recipes. I could…
I don’t know about you, but my phone and I are not on the same page when it comes to battery life. I leave my house every morning with a beautiful 100% charge and somewhere in the vicinity of 1:00, I notice that my my status bar has gone to yellow. By 3:00, I am…
I love jelly beans. Small, sweet, soft and delicious, they are a joy to behold. Now I am here today to tell you that Gimbal’s Fine Candies has perfected the art of the jelly bean. Their Holiday Mix is Christmas in a bag. Each one has six fun flavors, including Rudolph’s Rockin’ Raspberry, Mrs. Claus’s…
wishing you and yours all the blessings of the holiday season….
Can I get a round of applause for whoever invented the crock pot? Seriously, what an amazing device. You throw things into it in the morning, let it sit all day, and come home to a delicious dinner at night. Bravo! Now that I am a working mama, my crock pot is my new best…
Ever since my 6-year old started kindergarten, she has been worried that she does not yet know how to read. No matter how many times I tell her, “Honey, it’s OK. Reading is what you will learn at school,” she gets so stressed that she can’t do it on her own yet. Many days when…
I absolutely loved watching Mr. Rogers when I was a kid. I haven’t seen the show or heard the music for the better part of 30 years but I can still sing every word. The theme song is permanently embedded in my DNA. “Would you be mine, could you be mine, won’t you be my…
Ah, the delights of the holiday season. Chocolate, peppermint, hot cocoa with marshmallows. I love them all. But over the years, I have refined my tastes and now yearn for something new and different. My mom started making this recipe a few years ago and it has become my holiday favorite. Since it has both…
How many times has your family watched “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” this holiday season? I estimate that we have watched it somewhere between 27 and 102. And it’s not even the final countdown to Christmas yet! My saving grace arrived this week with three awesome holiday movies from NCircle Entertainment. I think Santa was…
Remember the AVON lady? My grandma used to be one. This meant that from the young age of 5, I sampled any and all shades of lipstick that AVON had to offer. Most of the time, my sweet grandmother did not even know I was raiding her beauty cabinet. But oh, I had such fun!…
I have loved Strawberry Shortcake since I was a little girl. My very first Christmas ornament was a Strawberry Shortcake one and I still have it to this day. And, I’ll be honest and tell you that I will not allow my children to put it on the tree. It. Is. Mine. (Mother of the…
Two things at the top of my kids’ list of favorites are music and building block sets. And what could be more perfect than combining the two? This holiday season, K’NEX ups its cool factor with two new awesome scenes: one featuring KISS and their tour bus turned stage and one featuring the Beatles and…
