So, what to do with all of those leftover “picked” strawberries from yesterday? Hmm, there’s only one logical explanation…
The Strawberries of Lies:: Strawberry & Banana “Cupcake” Muffin Recipe
The other day I took the girls to pick their own strawberries & sweet peas. I thought it’d be lovely to spend some quality time together outside on a gorgeous day but my sneaky underlying intention was I wanted to find a way to get Sam to eat a strawberry. Yup, the kid has never […]
Cheater’s Salmon (or chicken) Florentine
I made this last week & put the picture below on Instagram & Facebook & so many of you asked for the recipe that I had to put it up. There’s a bit of a secret to this dish though, it’s where the “cheater’s” comes from, (remember cheater’s broccoli cheese soup & the cheater’s chicken […]
Hello Kitty Says, “Stain Stain Go Away, I’m Sure You’ll Come Back Another Day!”
Do you ever get your kid an awesome clothing item only to have them drop a big ol’ stain on it the first time they wear it? That happened with this Garnet Hill ruched tank that I splurged on for Sophie Monster because it just looked too perfect with this ocean maxi. (of course the […]

It’s the most wonderful time, of the yearrrr…. It’s Skirt Week! Woohoo! I can’t believe this is my 3rd year creating a tutorial for the gals over at Crafterhours. I also can’t believe I used the word ‘gals’. What am I Paula Deen? Anyway, this year it wasn’t too hard to figure out what type […]
A Pinterest Quickie! Shh, I won’t tell if you won’t…
I’ll be honest with you, I receive a good amount of new web traffic from Pinterest. I had no idea when I made the mosquito planter years ago or dyed the girls hair with chalk that they would be the gift that keeps on giving because of Pinterest. It’s true though, Pinterest is absolutely a […]
How to Travel with Kids without Losing Your Mind
Whew, we’re finally back & ready to rock! I love when I come back from vacation with a renewed drive to hit the ground running! Verses when I come back with cranky kids, to a messy house & jump right back in to a schedule so busy that the suitcase sits on the floor unpacked […]
