The week has been an early homage to summer. With record breaking heat, the only thing I’ve wanted to consume are salad and ice cream. Unfortunately, I can’t indulge in a giant bowl of ice cream every night of the week, so I have to opt for healthier options Monkey baby and I had a [...]
I never knew how hard being a Mother would be. The late nights, early mornings and middle of the night sick kids are hard. But that part of motherhood isn’t the hardest part of motherhood. Not by a long shot. Balancing dance and soccer schedules, doctors appointments, working from home, the kids school schedules along [...]
Cinco de Mayo is only a day away! Are you ready? If you haven’t made these cupcakes, the answer is probably, NO! We have been busy running around to choir and dance concerts this week. I’m getting really tired of running around like crazy, but glad that it will be over tomorrow. I’m planning on [...]
Who doesn’t love a good quesadilla? My family loves the plain old cheese and tortillas dipped in salsa. That’s OK! (For like, the first 2000 times we’ve eaten them). Today it was time to branch out. With Cinco de Mayo around the corner, it was time for my family to try a new quesadilla flavor. [...]
Last week was hot and the oven rarely got used. I wanted a cookie, but wasn’t going to turn on the air conditioner just for the sake of making cookies. That sounds crazy and so unlike me! Or maybe I am suffering massive sugar withdrawals since I decided to kick sugar after reading an article [...]
“What do you want for dessert Sunday?” Since the family is all at home on Sundays we usually have a special dessert–a deviation from our usual quick weeknight cookie or chocolate fix. This week my husband requested carrot cake. Really, something with fruits and vegetables in it? I was pretty shocked. I made sure to [...]
I hope you had a great Easter. Our family enjoyed being together and spending time with family. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect either. I’m excited that I still have a few eclairs tucked away in the fridge for my husband and I to enjoy and a carton full of hard boiled eggs to [...]
After being a little lazy and forgetting a few P90X workouts this past week, I’m getting back on track today. I’m serious. The scale doesn’t lie, and the spring like weather is serious about summer being just around the corner. (Although the four inches of snow outside of my window might say otherwise). The thought [...]
Sugar and I are slowly starting to disagree. I personally know that I have an addiction to it. Seriously, where are the support groups for us?? My mom actually has become extremely intolerant of sugar, so I started hunting down recipes for her. I came across coconut sugar as a refined sugar alternative. It doesn’t [...]
This week will be full of fun. My husband and I are spending our 11th anniversary….(birds tweeting, and tweeting) We don’t know where!! We have decided to wait and see where the sale fares for the week may take us. A last minute spontaneous little adventure. We’ve talked about spending the weekend skiing somewhere, going [...]
