Before I headed out of town last week (it seems like AGES ago!) I had the chance to take 3 of my kids (the 3 who were not already committed to other weekend activities that morning) to a screening of the new Dreamworks movie, The Croods. Like many of animated kids’ movies, I hadn’t payed…

San Diego Mountains in Spring – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
When I think of San Diego, I think of beaches and sun and zoo animals. I had no idea that there was so much beauty just beyond the city limits. (That’s not to say that there isn’t beauty within the city of San Diego….That came out wrong!). While I was in San Diego last weekend,…
3 Tips for Creating the Perfect Movie Night at Home
For years, when we were in the middle of babies and diapers and not many funds left to pay a babysitter, date night meant movie night at home. Putting the kids to bed, popping some popcorn, and sitting down on the couch together to watch a movie was almost as rejuvenating as getting out of…
Pork and Cabbage Wontons
I am obsessed with this recipe. I was craving wontons the other week, finally found wonton wrappers at the grocery store, and experimented with some of the ingredients I had on hand (I couldn’t find any wonton recipes that used cabbage and carrots, but they sounded good and so I figured I’d give them a…
Coronado California #WordlessWednesday
The only complaint that I have about my weekend trip to Coronado California is that I forgot to order the warm Southern California weather before I hopped on the plane. You’d never know that it was in the 60s most of the time I was there – the beach and the scenery were incredible. PS…
Marinated Mushrooms and Smoked Sausage Pasta #MushroomDish
Isn’t it funny how something so simple can make such an amazing difference? Just last night, I made hamburgers for dinner. Plain old, simple hamburgers. But they weren’t just hamburgers, because while the burgers were cooking on the grill, I sauteed some mushrooms, onion and garlic in a little olive oil…and turned my burger into…
Meet the Newest MU Freshman! #MonstersUEvent
No, I’m not talking about my oldest daughter heading off to college (expect that announcement next year). Me! I’m going to be leaving in just a few weeks for freshman orientation at MU (Monsters University, that is). My decision to head back to school came somewhat spur of the moment, though I’ve been putting quite…
Perfect Balance: #YopaYogurt
Last year, I chose the word Balance to be my word of the year. After a rough 2011, I was determined to create more balance in my home, family, work, and personal life. I kept the word balance in my head all year….but I’m not sure I really achieved it. And so I decided to…
Chocolate Chip Cookie-Stuffed Oreos
Yes, I did really say that. My 13 year old asked me to pick up some Oreos the other day. When I asked why she wanted Oreos in particular (I know, silly question), she told me about some cookies that her friend at school had told her about. Oh my! Does it get much…
Birthday with Cousins – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Reese had a birthday this week, and by some streak of birthday luck got to spend the two days before her birthday with her out-of-state cousins. Since the cousins were in town, we decided to cut into the birthday cake a day early and share it with the extended family (and as a side note,…
