When I was a single college student, I was busy – juggling classes and homework and dating. A few years later, when I was a new mom busy with babies and dinner to cook and groceries to buy and a house to clean. Now, as a mom to older kids (and teens!) I have…

Birthday Party #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Reese turned 10 last month. We had to wait for a few weeks after her birthday to have her party, but it was worth the wait. Reese is at such a funny age – that in-between stage where she stops being a little girl and starts becoming a young woman. It’s kind of driving me…
Monster’s University Voice Cast Revealed #MonstersUEvent
Last week, while I was at Monsters University freshman orientation I met the voice behind the hilarious new MU character Squishy. It was amazing how much Pixar’s Peter Sohn reminded me of the character he played in the movie….but I’ll have more on that later. Yesterday, Disney•Pixar announced the full voice cast for this summer’s…

Easy Lime Pie Recipe
My husband heard about an amazing – and easy – saltine-crusted lime pie on the radio the other day and couldn’t stop talking about it until I made it. So I made it for him. Yum! I LOVE key lime pie. While this is not quite as mouth-watering as my favorite key lime pie,…

Disneynature’s Wings of Life Review
Last night, AJ, Reese and I sat down for an uninterrupted hour and a half. I didn’t do laundry. I didn’t blog. We watched bees and birds and bats. There were a lot of oohs and ewws and WOs! And there was a ton of learning. Just in time for Earth Day 2013, Disneynature has…
2013 Mazda5 Grand Touring Review
When I drove the Mazda5 Grand Touring for the first time, I pulled into the grocery store parking lot and turned to my daughter and commented that the car felt really familiar. A quick text confirmed that my sister owns a Mazda5…so we’ve had plenty of experience piling kids and bags into the back. So…
Ham and Spinach Mini Quiche
My youngest son, AJ, and I used to go to Costco just to eat mini quiche samples. We couldn’t get enough of them. Parties, buffets, picnics…mini quiches are perfect for so many occasions but I had no idea until recently that they were so easy to make. Now that I can easily whip up a…
Spring Has Sprung – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
I arrived back in Maryland early this morning (early, early) and discovered that Spring had finally showed up in our town. Last week we were still running the heater, and this week we’re sweating in 80+ degrees. Last week, there were no blossoms on the trees in the neighborhood. This week, the blossoms are everywhere….
