For years it bothered me that my husband swore that cleaning the bathroom (shower and bath tub included) only took him 10 minutes. When I cleaned the bathroom, I was committed for the afternoon. And all too often, I would take the easy road and clean the toilet, sink and mirror, empty the garbage, and…

Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup
This winter may not have been a snowy one, but it certainly has been a COLD one. And there’s nothing better on a cold winter night than a comforting bowl of hot soup. To be honest, I’ve never been a fan of tomato soup. I have a distinct and disturbing memory from my childhood that…
Hidden Talents and a Giant Surprise
I’d like to say that I’m a woman of many (hidden) talents. Not quite. I’ve always considered myself good at many things and great at only a few. I’m just an ordinary, relatively unexciting girl with few surprises up my sleeve. Maybe that’s why I was attracted to my husband. CandyMan is an extreme –…
Jack the Giant Slayer Movie Review
Every once in a while I get to be a really cool mom – the kind of mom who takes a kid to the movies on a school night (and not just any movie, but a see-it-before-anyone-else screening). I get bonus points when the movie screening is for a highly-anticipated movie like Jack the Giant…
Seeing Green – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
I had big plans to take my camera out today, take some pictures, and make a collage of all of the green things I could find. I’m desperately trying to find the beauty around me. Honestly, February is an ugly month. And then KitKat came home wearing a green scarf, and I changed my mind….
Harry Potter House Scarves {Free Crochet Pattern}
This crochet pattern has been months in the making. My 13 year old, Necco, decided in January that she wanted to crochet scarves for each of the Hogwarts houses from Harry Potter. She began with a yellow and black Hufflepuff scarf and worked her way through each of the Hogwarts houses – Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and…
Browned Butter Glazed Spice Doughnuts
I would eat doughnuts every morning if I could. Which would probably be a very bad move on my part. As much as I love eating doughnuts, I had never made doughnuts before last week. After seeing my friend Lisa’s recipe for Baked Nutella Doughnuts, I decided that I needed a doughnut pan. I found…
Rainy Day – Wordless Wednesday
Today was a rainy day. As I waited for T outside his piano lesson this afternoon, I was struck by the beauty of the rain. The winter strips our area of all color. Or so it seems. I found a few splashes of color in the drab scenery. Seven Clown Circus | Parenting By Dummies…
Kids’ Spring Collection at Gymboree {$75 Giveaway}
When my kids were little, I loved clothes shopping for them. Aren’t kids so much fun to dress? (I always wished that my clothes could be as cute as theirs). As my kids have gotten older, I’ve noticed a rather annoying trend – they want to pick out their own clothes, and they have strong…
Butterfinger Rice Krispie Treats
I don’t know about you, but I adore Butterfingers. And rice krispie treats. OK, I am pretty partial to most sweets. You can’t go wrong when you pair two favorites – Butterfingers candy bars and rice krispie treats. Oh, and marshmallows. Can’t forget the marshmallows. I’ve been cooking like a mad woman lately (I’ll apologize…
