You should know something before you roll your eyes at the thought of making homemade bagels… I have never made bread before. EVER. And I can admit why, I’m ok with saying it, I was scared. I was very scared of yeast. I have to activate it? And let it rise? Whaa? It just sounded […]
Great Finds: Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters is one of those stores that’s hit or miss for me. Sometimes I walk through it & think “Ohmygosh this stuff is so hoochie mama-hipster-man, oh man am I getting old!” & other times, like this last trip, I strike gold! Silence & Noise Maxi Dress, Desert Camo Zipper Pant, Ecote Studded Tank, […]
Let her eat cake!
Of course the big excitement of Susan’s gender reveal party we went to yesterday should be finding out the sex of the baby but there is little in life that brings me as much joy as watching Sophie Monster eat… Song: “Problem” (from Hotel Transylvania) [the monster remix] by Becky G [feat Will.i.am.] LOL, that […]
Kid Craft: Potato Stamp School of Fish
*The response to yesterday’s post has seriously BLOWN ME AWAY! You guys had some great ideas & also shared some awesome resources with me…update definitely to follow soon! I’ve heard of people making potato stamps before but this was my first time giving it a go…I have to say, crazy easy & the […]
What can I do? What would you do?
Here’s one of the good things about having an appointment at my Rheumatologist’s office, it’s right next to the mall & since I almost always make appointments when the kid’s are in school I can usually treat myself to a quick, guilt-free, kid-free, pop in. I’m a firm believer that you have to take little […]
Leprechaun Ruffled Skirts
Reason #576 you should have a sewing machine… It’s the night before your kid’s St. Patrick’s Day school party & you completely forgot to get them anything green to wear. Oops. Thank goodness I happened to have just enough of this pre-ruffled green fabric in my stash to make the girls each a ridiculously quick […]
Cookie Butter Bars
I mean really, let’s break it down nice & simple. “Cookie” and “Butter” Need I say more? I believe I’ve mentioned Speculoo’s Cookie Butter before…it’s sinfully good. I’d say it tastes like a mix of cookie dough & gingerbread. They sell it seasonally at Trader Joe’s & this year I brinked on the bridge of […]
Video tutorial with Sam: Child’s flower bridal veil
What a week people. Seriously, WHAT A WEEK. Sophie missed school Monday because she fell in the shower that morning, had a giant bruise right on her rump & refused to put a diaper on. Can you blame her? Then Wednesday we were supposed to have this massive snowstorm, school was canceled, & the girls […]
a week in instagram
Have you ever been in the situation where someone asks how your weekend was & you honestly have no clue what the heck you did? It is seriously a big. fat. blur. That’s how I feel right now writing this post. I see the pictures so I know I was there but honestly you could […]
Slow Cooked Pork Roast with Apples & Onions
Sometimes I cook a meal that is insanely good. Often it has zero to do with my cooking skills. It’s more that somehow the culinary stars align…I don’t know if it’s the quality of the recipe, the nature of the produce or perhaps that day I didn’t get interrupted every two seconds by somebody who […]
