About a month ago I decided I wanted to move away from using store bought deodorant and try making my own for a change. A major ingredient in most store bought (including some natural, ugh!) deodorants has been linked to Alzheimer’s, respiratory disease, and breast cancer. I’ve known for this awhile, but finally decided to [...]

It may come as a surprise to some of you that my interest in cooking is relatively recent. My parents were both excellent cooks. But growing up I never really paid attention to what was going on in the kitchen. As in, I knew nothing about anything in the kitchen. I didn’t know how to [...] For Mother’s Day my handsome hubby took me out to a fabulous French restaurant, Bistro Monet. We never cease to be amazed at all the wonderful local spots we find to eat! And Bistro Monet was no exception. Every dish kept getting better and better. The atmosphere was very Provence, which always brings back wonderful [...] It’s been one of those weeks. And it’s only Tuesday. Oh my. It’s been one of those weeks where my crafty, cooking, do-everything-from-scratch self meets the my baby-isn’t sleeping, I’m exhausted, let’s get take-out one more time self.

A Short Tribute to Our Mamas on Their First [Grand]Mama’s Day: [Grand]Mama Meadows – It was only when I became a mother that I realized the amazing level of sacrifice and care that you showed me growing up.

Parker has gotten really used to the camera, so he even smiles at it when it is on auto-timer and [...] My little guy has been fighting some sort of bug for the past several days. Apparently he’s been taking his lessons in sharing a bit too literally and has decided to share his sickness with me. I tell you, there is nothing sadder than seeing your little guy wheezing, coughing, with a fever, and losing [...] Holy cats, batman! This dessert is fantastico! It feels a little sacrilegious to be posting something other than Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo, but this dessert was too good to wait to share. So, what exactly is a torte anyway? Our dinner guest asked me that very question and I realized I didn’t have an [...] I am so excited. And I just can’t hide it! (Yes, that just happened. I have a slight addiction to 80′s music. No apologies.) Anyways, why so excited, you ask? If this showed up on your door-step yesterday, wouldn’t you be?
I used to think parents were just a little bit crazy when they would say things like, “My baby loves fill in the blank.” Really? Do they love that thing, or do you just love that thing and enjoy giving it to them? Of course I knew kids have personalities, but can they really have [...] |
