One of my favorite things to do around each of the holidays throughout the year when my kids were little was to collect holiday-themed books to read. I always had my eyes open for used holiday books at the thrift store or used book store and, of course, we borrowed books from the library….
Halloween Candied Popcorn
I love an excuse to make sweet treats. And Halloween is such a perfect time for making all sorts of treats. This past weekend, I made this Halloween candied popcorn just for fun. It happened to be our elementary school’s annual back to school picnic and fun run, so I brought it along as…
My Sister’s Wedding #PSF
This past weekend, I met my parents and all 4 of my siblings in Chicago for my sister’s wedding. It was a busy weekend, but one that I will remember and treasure for years. It has been too long since all 5 of the siblings were together at the same time (we usually meet…
Patriotic Pudding Cups
I have gotten addicted to pudding cups…so when I needed to come up with an idea for a patriotic recipe or craft, I immediately thought about a red, white and blue pudding cup with berries. I loved how they turned out! My husband and I ate them all…we couldn’t get enough of them! The…
How To Throw An Epic Doctor Who Party for Kids
Before my youngest turned 10 last week, he declared that he wanted a Doctor Who themed birthday party. Now, throwing parties is not my thing. Parties take a whole lot out of me, and so I try to avoid being a party host as much as possible. But AJ is my youngest and he’s…
Our Last Double Digits Birthday #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Monday was quite a milestone birthday in our family. My youngest – my baby boy – turned 10. A double digits birthday. That means that all of us are double digits (and by default, I guess that makes us old!). AJ has never been much of a fan of traditional toys…so when he made…

DIY Shea Butter Lotion Bars
Curious how you can make your own shea butter lotion bars? I’ve become totally hooked on these DIY lotion bars, and I KNOW you will, too! Mother’s Day is coming up soon…and so is graduation and Father’s Day and a ton of family birthdays. And a family wedding. In other words, I have entered the…
Easter 2015 With Cousins
Easter 2015: We had a blast with the Pennsylvania cousins this past weekend. Lots of candy, lots of giggles, lots of good food. On Easter Day, we drove over to the hill by the Hershey Gardens and had a fun (and windy) Easter Egg hunt. We missed having our oldest daughter there, since she’s…
Avengers Easter Eggs
In anticipation of next week’s press event with the cast of Avengers: Age of Ultron, my 15-year-old daughter and I painted a dozen Easter Eggs inspired by the Avengers. It took a long time, but we had SO much fun getting creative (because it’s NOT always easy to figure out how to represent a…
