I have been cooking for the holidays for 14 years now. Most of the dishes that I cook for the holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter) are the dishes that were my favorites when I was growing up, attending big holiday family gatherings. So, for your eating pleasure……the Better in Bulk favorite family recipes: Grandma Betty’s…

I Went to Costa Rica, and All I Got Was…
….a new sister. It was the best souvenir ever. Ok….a new sister wasn’t the ONLY thing I brought home from Costa Rica. I came home with quite a few pictures, too. For more pictures from my Costa Rica trip, see Tuesday in Paradise….and come back Thursday and Friday for more. Linked up to Wordful Wednesday,…
Tuesday in Paradise
I can’t begin to express how relaxing, rejuvinating and peaceful last week’s trip to Costa Rica was. If ever two people needed a vacation, it was us. Between the mornings of sleeping in and the nights drinking ginger ale at the bar with family and friends; the walks on the beach and reading an entire…

Confidence – Give Me Your Best Shot-PSF
First of all, let me start by saying that I am addicted to macro photography. This morning, after walking the kids to school and exercising, I was fascinated by the water drops on the grass. I grabbed my camera and sat down in the wet grass to get as close as I could to the…
How to Create the Perfect Christmas Card
This weekend, the BetterinBulk family set out to create the perfect Christmas card picture. It’s a tradition that we keep every October, and although I am a photographer and love taking pictures, it has become one of the least-enjoyed family traditions that we continue to observe.
