A few days ago I wasn’t sure if my kids would be celebrating Halloween at all this year, with the threat of Hurricane Sandy looming over us. Luckily, trick or treating is still on, new costumes have been picked out, and bowls of candy are waiting to be distributed to the neighborhood kids. It’s the…
Reaching – Wordless Wednesday
As soon as I caught this shot at a photo shoot this past weekend, I knew it would be an all-time favorite. The way this little girl is reaching for her daddy’s hand is just precious to me. Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless Wednesdays all over. Are you playing along with…
Wreck-It Ralph Halloween Masks and Pumpkin Stencil
I saw a pre-screening of Wreck-It Ralph last week and fell in LOVE. While it’s a little too early for me to give my full review, I am excited to share these Wreck-It Ralph Halloween masks and pumpkin stencil for you to print out at home. Enjoy! With Hurricane Sandy hitting us this week, our…
Waiting…for #Sandy
It’s raining this morning. A hurricane is coming. But we still have power. When I went to bed last night (on a blow up mattress in the basement, surrounded by kids), I fully expected to find the power out when I woke up. I also expected to sleep in this morning, since school is canceled…
Chicken and Corn Chowder Recipe
As we (along with a huge chunk of the rest of the East Coast) ride out Hurricane Sandy, I thought it would be fun to imagine up some comfort food… I made this chicken and corn chowder recently and loved it. The only thing I would change (and I’ve reflected this in the recipe below)…
24 Scrumptious Pumpkin Recipes for Fall Baking
One of the best things about the Fall is PUMPKINS. I love cooking with pumpkin, and there literally is not enough time to bake all of the pumpkin recipes that I would like to try (and try again). I figured that the next best thing to making all of the recipes I’ve found was…
Proud to be Unique – Walt Disney Quote # PSF
I don’t think I am more proud of my oldest daughter, Kit Kat, than each year when the school holds Spirit Week. When she was a freshman, she dressed in what I thought at the time was the wackiest Wacky Wednesday costume ever. I was insanely proud of her confidence and the fact that she…
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls With Cream Cheese Frosting
I was in the mood to bake something with pumpkin on Monday, and when I found a recipe for pumpkin pull apart bread, I knew I had to try them out as pumpkin cinnamon rolls. They were better than I ever could have imagined and were a knock-out hit with my whole family. My husband…
How to Teach Children Values – Compassion, Kindness, and Generosity #OCCGiving
Teaching children to be kind, compassionate, and generous is neither easy nor quick. Values such as generosity and compassion aren’t learned overnight. Every Sunday I am reminded just how tricky it is to teach children values. My 7 year old son rushes into my classroom, where I teach the 3 year olds at church. After…
Biking the GAP Trail – Wordless Wednesday
This past weekend, Necco (my 13 year old daughter) and husband went on a 2 day, 90-mile bike ride on the GAP trail (the Great Allegheny Passage) from Connellsville, Pennsylvania to Cumberland, Maryland. They promised that they’d write all about their experience – but they haven’t even unpacked yet, so I have a feeling it…
