Enter our GIVEAWAY here! The number one reason I decide to just order a pizza is because I don’t feel like making the meat. Can you relate? I don’t love touching the slimy, wet, raw meat…cutting out the arteries and veins…and then cooking it too. I dread it. So, lately I’ve been thinking ahead. I’ll…
I’ve never actually done this…but I just came up with the idea and think it would be WAY super fun! So, I’m totally doing it! I love throwing parties, having people over, organizing, decorating, and coming up with cute ideas. I’m always trying to think of any excuse I can to throw a party! K,…
I love to read! But…it doesn’t happen very often that I read a book. I’m usually reading second grade homework assignments, instructions to assemble new toys, and “Where The Wild Things Are”. But, I have managed to sneak in a few minutes of fun reading here and there and finish some books…although, it might take…
Ladies and their hair…usually a love/hate relationship. But, as with most relationships “the more you give, the more you get.” If you want lovely locks, you’ve got to dish out the TLC. . Let me give you a brief run-down of what exactly this madness is that grows out of your pretty little head: Your…
Although I’m not big on having any pets in my home…it doesn’t mean that I’m not ultra-fascinated by wildlife! Maybe this is super nerdy, but the beard man and I love to curl up and watch a sweet wildlife documentary. It’s so amazing how much more depth there is to these creatures and how we…
Here is the best ice cream recipe that has been in my family for years. When we go to my grandparents over the Fourth of July we make homemade ice cream, and we churn it by hand. It’s just that much better because we worked hard for it. It’s tradition, and brings back great childhood…
So, this Chocolate Toffee Trifle is one of those desserts that is so insanely easy but when you bring it in the room…mouths drop. People think you went “all out” and “spent soooo much time” making this fancy schmancy trifle…but, you didn’t. Nope, after the cakes bake…it literally takes 10 minutes to put it together….
For birthdays at our house, we just have family over. My kids are 4 and 18 months, so I haven’t really felt the need to have a “friends” birthday party-yet. When we were growing up, we had certain ages that we could have a birthday party and invite our friends. I think it meant more…
I love to play board games, but right now the only one’s we are playing in our house are Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders and Hungry Hungry Hippos. Don’t get me wrong I love spending mommy time with my kids, but I need a little adult interaction now and then (besides explaining to the checkout…
With the gobs of birthday parties at my house these past couple months, I’ve got another thing to add to my “to-do” list. But, at least it’s something I enjoy doing and is very important to me! Every year, for my childrens birthdays, I write them a letter. I have this huge fear that my…
So, my Lover-Boy/Beard-Man/Sugar-Daddy came through and got me a camera for my birthday! I’ve been needing this for so long! Thank you, Dan! Seriously, the camera I have been using was being held together by duct tape. Nice, huh? Duct tape, gotta love it. Did you know duct tape is sometimes recommended by doctors for…
It might make ya feel like a meanie-pants but I seriously believe you are doing your kids (and their future spouse) a huge disservice by not having them do regular chores. I think the values of hard work, sensitivity and respect of others hard work, team work, cleanliness, and family contribution are best instilled in…
