I saw some adorable table-top jelly bean topiaries at a dinner my daughters and I attended last month. As I was decorating my house for Easter this week, I thought of those topiaries and wondered if I could make a large topiary with plastic Easter Eggs. I figured it was worth a try. Here’s who…
Think Spring! Decorating for Easter #KmartEaster
I cook up a MEAN holiday dinner. Ask my sister (the only one who lives on the East Coast, that is) and all of my brothers in law. I know how to set out a delicious smelling and delicious tasting spread. I do not, however, know much about decorating. Despite the fact that I do…
Give Me Your Best Shot….From Pennsylvania!
My kids and I have spent the last 2 days in Pennsylvania with my sister and her 2 girls. It has definitely been the highlight of our Spring Break. Here’s a peek at all the fun we’ve had together… We’re heading back home tonight, and will sleep well after all the excitement we’ve had here,…
You’re Invited to the YesVideo Mother’s Day Twitter Party 4/5
Please don’t be jealous. I have the best mom in the world. I would celebrate her every day if I could. I just wish that we lived closer together so that we could capture MORE memories like these. Mother’s Day will be here before you know it. Have you started planning for this year’s…
A Story About a Boy and a Girl…. #TropFloridaOJ
One of the highlights of every year is my family trip to Florida to visit my inlaws for Christmas. We started the tradition a few years back, and after 3 years basking in the Florida sunshine while the rest of Maryland is stuck under snow and ice, I’m ready to never have a white Christmas…
A Day at Castle Park – Wordless Wednesday
Castle Park is one of our Spring Break traditions. We picked today (because of the ideal weather) to meet some friends for a few hours of outdoor play time. Can you tell how much fun they had? Who would have guessed that AJ was up all night with the worst croup I’ve ever seen? Yes,…
Make a Gourmet Meal from Leftovers #EasterMeals
It really is incredible how good bread can dress up a meal, and how WARM bread can make a good meal great. I regularly feed my family leftovers, but I rarely do much more than stick the dish on the kitchen counter with a stack of plates, a serving spoon, and an open microwave. I…
‘Confessions of a Scary Mommy’ Book Release Giveaway
When I was a kid, I wanted to be an author. I wrote books constantly (even won some awards for a few of my elementary school novels). But, strangely, once I got to college, I didn’t pursue writing at all. I went in a different direction with no regrets. It’s funny to me that after…
Ideas to Make the Most of Time Together – Together Counts
Spring Break is one of my favorite times for spending time with my kids. The weather is nicer than Winter Break, so we can spend time outdoors and exploring things around the DC area. And the time is shorter than Summer Break so we don’t get tired of each other (wait….did I really say that?)….
Project 365 {Week 13}
Spring break is in full swing and I’m loving taking it easy for a change. This morning, I woke up at 8:30, without an alarm….and was so happy with myself. Until my husband reminded me that the power to my bed side clock had gone out the day before and the time was actually 10:30….
