Wreck-It Ralph Coloring Pages and T-Shirt Giveaway
Tonight three of the kids and I are heading to a screening of Wreck-It Ralph – one of my most highly anticipated movies of the year. I can’t wait to see the movie and let you know all about it. But before we head out to the movies, I have a few Wreck-It Ralph goodies…
Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta Recipe
I’ve gotten my cooking mojo back, and so I’m taking advantage of it. Fall is the perfect time for cooking comfort foods, and both pasta and the classic flavors of chicken cordon bleu are favorites of mine. I’ve never seen them combined, so when I stumbled upon this recipe, I knew I had to try…
Birthday Flowers – PSF/Give Me Your Best Shot
Monday was my birthday. And it kinda stunk. Two days after my birthday, the doorbell rang. One of the kids yelled up to my office – “Mom! Someone sent you flowers!” I almost cried when I saw them. I needed some beauty this week. And these birthday flowers were beautiful. Thank you to my friends…
Keep Your Eyes on the Road – Safely Go App

Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless Wednesdays all…
Mezzaluna Ravioli at the Olive Garden #DinnerToday Dinner Tomorrow
*Copycat recipe coming very soon!* Sometimes my job has some really, really enjoyable perks. Take last Tuesday, for instance. I HAD to take my husband out for a dinner date at the Olive Garden. It certainly didn’t take much to convince him to join me for an Italian meal out on the town on a…
Celebrating My Birthday With Good Friends and @Blue_Bunny Ice Cream
Today I turned 38. Years ago, during a time that CandyMan and I like to refer to as “The Golden Years,” our neighborhood was filled with our best friends. Our back yard connected to another backyard. Our families were so close that we kept our back doors open and would come in and out of…
Giant Pajama Pants Dance – The Video You Asked For!
I posted a photo on Tuesday of my two youngest kids wearing giant pajama pants and had several people request that I post the dancing video. So without further ado….here are the giant pajama dancing pants: PS – Yes, these are my pajama pants, and yes they are very, very large and stretchy. And, yes,…
