The Pinterest Diaries: The Two Ingredient Cookie

We are trying to switch over to eating more "farm foods" (also known as whole foods) at our house. We are not a 'gung ho' family -- probably more because of the adults than the kids! -- so this will be a gradual process. I thought a good place to... Continue reading

A Shift in Focus

Remember me? I have been struggling with the direction of this blog lately. I love to write, I love my girls, and they are an endless source of inspiration. But I was starting to dread coming up with material that would please everyone and be entertaining but would also not... Continue reading

Souper Tuesday: Turkey Soup

Well, I missed the Tuesday deadline, so today is Souper Wednesday. Perfect though because it is cold, blustery and really snowy outside! As for soup, I have saved the best for last. Huh, you say? Turkey Soup, you say? That is the best of the four? YES!! The name might... Continue reading

Souper Tuesday: Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup

First, let me assure you that this has not turned into a soup blog, or even a food blog. Far from it (just look at my photos, ugh! Clearly I will never be a food photographer!). It's just that I have been on this soup kick, and at the same... Continue reading

Souper Tuesday: Tuscan Sausage and Bean Soup

I have been really proud of myself lately, and I owe it all to Pinterest. See, I have been trying to cook more, especially from scratch. I have that bad habit of being kind of an all-or-nothing person; I either can say I cook from scratch or I can't. But... Continue reading

Souper Tuesday: Beef Barley Soup

I have decided I will start a quick Tuesday series all about soup. That's right, soup. My husband has class this semester on Mondays and Wednesdays, which presents a dinner dilemma. What to make that will keep just fine until he gets home at 7:30? Soup has been the answer... Continue reading

Valentine's Heart Resist Painting

Looking for a cute Valentine's painting project for your preschooler? I saw this project originally at Hands On As We Grow and thought it was perfect for our kids. So while I certainly can't claim originality for this idea, I did try to expand on it as part of our... Continue reading

Rainbow Party, Complete with Rainbow Cake

This sudden warm burst of weather we are having in this part of the country has made me long for spring. Not just wish for it, L-O-N-G for it. Both my kids' birthdays are in the late spring, and last year we did it up for Josie's birthday. It was... Continue reading

How to Make a Rainbow Cake

How to make a Rainbow Layer Cake in 25 easy steps! Don't be scared, I broke the steps WAY down, that's why there are so many. It's really not very hard at all. But first, a little backstory. Last year, I (a terrible baker) pulled off a minor miracle: I... Continue reading

Let's Eat: Tex Mex Casserole

Sometimes I cook. Sometimes I slap a bunch of junk together and call it cooking. This is one of those times. Tex Mex Casserole was born out of a burning desire for a casserole dish, but a lack of a desire for 99/100ths of the casseroles that are out there.... Continue reading

You know how, when you're pregnant, someone always gives you that What to Expect When You're Expecting book? Yeah, there's a reason for that. When we found out we were going to have a baby, I was SO excited. And totally freaked out. Ok, the idea of actually being pregnant... Continue reading

Letters to My Daughters: Life's a Party

To Caroline I wasn't sure where we would land on the "is she outgoing" question. I spent months and months apologizing for your powerful shyness. Someone would look at you and you would turn and cry to me as if they had pinched you under the arm when I wasn't... Continue reading

Review: Summer SwaddleMe Swaddler

Note: This is not a sponsored post. As always, all opinions here are my own. My last post got me thinking about when my girls were so little, which led me to think about all the crap we had for them. We still have lots of crap now, but it... Continue reading
