I get up around 5:40 to make sure that the oldest two get out the door for their before-high-school class (thank goodness my oldest can drive herself and her sister…

Cranberry Cream Cheese Braided Bread
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of General Mills® via Burst Media. The opinions and text are mine. I love any excuse to bake. Birthdays, holidays, get-togethers with friends….no matter what the occasion, I love to make nice-looking and good-tasting food for other people. March is an exciting time – I’ve…
Glazed Baked Blueberry Doughnuts
This morning I woke up with a craving for blueberry doughnuts. And we had no eggs. Or blueberries. So instead of my regular morning routine, I ran out to the store to get the necessary ingredients and spent all day baking and photo-taking. And eating. And licking my fingers. I licked my fingers a…
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander SE Review
I never considered myself a car person. That was my dad. He knows facts and details about cars that still blows my mind. And yet here I am, the one in the family doing car reviews. Just a little disclaimer: first, I am not a car person. Remember that. I look at features with…
Flatbread Pizzas – 3 Varieties in 15 Minutes #15MinuteSuppers
This is sponsored recipe for Gourmet Garden through 15 Minute Suppers. Recipe and opinions are my own. I love cooking with fresh spices and herbs. I’d do it more often if the fresh spices and herbs I bought at the store didn’t go bad so quickly. This past week, since receiving a package containing…

Mr. Peabody and Sherman Review
Last month, I was invited to attend a press day in New York City for the movie Mr. Peabody and Sherman, which opens in theaters March 7.

Trunk Space #WW
I’m in the middle of 3 solid weeks of car reviews. 3 weeks, 3 different cars to drive around. This week’s car, the Kia Forte, has such a luxurious trunk that my 14 year old climbed in the back. I dare say we probably could have fit all 5 of my kids in the…
