I just got a new movie poster in my email this afternoon (and, no, I am not being compensated to share this) and because of the star of the movie (Benedict Cumberbatch…hello!) I was compelled to share. …Except that I just found out it’s Rated R and I don’t do R-rated movies. Sorry! About…

Music With Maddy, Northern Virginia Music Class for Kids
This post and giveaway is being sponsored by Music With Maddy, but this is the sort of thing I would naturally be encouraging my local friends to do with their kids. All opinions are my own. When my kids were little, I took them each to a community center where, among other things, they…

Utah’s Shakespeare Festival {PSF – Give Me Your Best Shot}
My mom, daughter Necco and I finished a busy but wonderful day at the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, Utah. We caught a sold-out matinee of Peter and the Starcatcher (obviously not a Shakespeare play, but hilariously amazing) and then after an early dinner headed back to the festival for the Greenshow, pictured below….
Rice Krispie Treats 7 Ways {Recipe Round Up}
Over the last several months, I’ve become obsessed with making unique varieties of rice krispie treats. I’ve tried everything from chocolate and peanut butter to caramel and sea salt. It’s hard to pick a favorite (it depends on the day of the week and the mood that I’m in!). I’ve experimented enough now that…
Temple Square – #WordlessWednesday
Yesterday, after 5 hours on a turbulent plane with a fussy toddler kicking my seat for the majority of the flight, my daughter Necco and I happily landed in Salt Lake City for our two week girl’s retreat. My mom picked us up at the airport and we were able to steal my sister…

In just two weeks my kids will be heading back to school, and in honor of appreciating the last few days of summer, a few of my blogging friends shared some of their favorite back to school crafts for kids. How are you finishing off the end of summer with the kids? Celebrate back-to-school…
How to Reduce Odors and Cut Energy Costs at Home
Note: As a homeowner whose entire heating and air conditioning system went kaput right before the weather turned hot this summer, I can truly say that I am a firm supporter of doing whatever I can to maintain my new unit in good working order. Filtrete was very patient while I replaced my dead…
Disney’s PLANES Review #DisneyPlanes
My family and I were invited to a local screening of Disney’s PLANES earlier this week. Other than the free movie, no compensation was received and all thoughts and opinions on the movie are my own. If you have kids (elementary school aged boys, in particular) then I’m sure you’ve been eagerly awaiting today’s…
Boston Harbor Cruises {PSF/GMYBS}
After our first day in Boston was washed out by rain, we decided to take charge the next day and go ahead and buy a guided trolley tour (with Beantown Trolley) for the following day. We figured that if day number 2 was rained out as well, we’d at least be able to see…
