Valentine’s Day Class Party 2014 {Wordless Wednesday}

Tuesday, February 18, 2014 by Lolli 2 Comments

Because we were buried under a ton of fresh snow on Valentine’s Day (2 more snow days – joy!), the two youngest kids just barely had their Valentine’s Day class parties today…after a 2 hour delayed opening this morning because of even MORE snow. Snow! Argh! Reese convinced me to hand over my big…

Smelly Car? Try PERK Vent Wraps

Tuesday, February 18, 2014 by Lolli 8 Comments

This post brought to you by PERK. All opinions are 100% mine. My sister and her family live in the next state over and we try to make the 2 hour drive to visit them as often as possible. My kids love their cousins (including the two dog-cousins) and time is the only thing holding…

Orange Spice Cupcakes with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

Monday, February 17, 2014 by Lolli 16 Comments

We’ve had a few too many snow days lately. And when we’re stuck inside, we tend to head to the kitchen and BAKE. On Friday (snow day #2 of our 5 day weekend), my 14 year old daughter decided she’d like to make some cupcakes. I tried to convince her that if she was…

College Application Tips #IntelTablets

Friday, February 14, 2014 by Lolli 1 Comment

When my oldest daughter started her senior year of high school, she made it clear that she needed a computer of her own. I had figured that I would have to break down and buy her a laptop sometimes before she headed off to school…but I was hoping to be able to delay that…

Quick Ham Fried Rice #15MinuteSuppers

Friday, February 14, 2014 by Lolli 13 Comments

I’ve been posting a 15 Minute Supper recipe every Friday since October, and yet a week ago, I realized that I had never shared one of my family’s easiest and favorite meals, quick or not. It’s so easy, it’s ridiculous. I don’t claim that it’s authentic….but it IS tasty and VERY kid-friendly. I often make…

A Snow-Covered Central Park

Thursday, February 13, 2014 by Lolli 6 Comments

I feel kind of funny posting pictures of snow in New York City when we’re snowed in with mountains of snow right outside our front door. It’s funny to see how everyone copes with a snow day after we’ve had so many snow days this year. Daughter number one is enjoying the day off…

The Halal Guys – New York City {Wordless Wednesday}

Tuesday, February 11, 2014 by Lolli 4 Comments

Food has to be pretty good to wait in a 30-minute-long line in 20 degree weather. The Halal Guys are totally worth it. Haven’t been? It’s definitely worth the stop! Have you posted a Wordless Wednesday post on your blog? Feel free to link up! An InLinkz Link-up

Do Valentine’s Day “Just Right” at Outback Steakhouse

Tuesday, February 11, 2014 by Lolli 4 Comments

Here’s a little secret you may or may not know about me. I love food. (Ok, so maybe that wasn’t much of a secret)…I love cooking good food, but even MORE, I love eating good food at restaurants. That’s why I was absolutely 100% onboard when I was invited to be an Outback Steakhouse…

Slow Cooker Butter Chicken and Naan

Monday, February 10, 2014 by Lolli 13 Comments

Last week, I posted some pictures of our Sunday night crock pot dinner on Instagram and had more requests for the recipes (for both the butter chicken and the naan) than I was expecting. I found the recipe on Pinterest (isn’t that where all good recipes hang out?) and followed it to Half Baked Harvest….
