We survived the first week of school AND my son got his driver’s license. Talk about a HUGE week for us! I told the lady at the DMV (they call it the MVA here in Maryland, and I’m still not used to it) that I consider teaching 3 teenagers to drive is one of my…
Refreshing Summer Drinks – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party
What is more refreshing on a hot summer day than a cold drink? The answer? Not much. I don’t drink alcohol (or coffee or tea, for that matter!) but there are so many drink recipes available that are fruit based. I LOVE a good homemade smoothie or spritzer! We’re on the final stretch for the…

While this post is sponsored by Foodie through Mode…

An Apple a Day – A Collection of Apple Recipes
Apples were always my favorite fruit (at least for as long as I can remember), so you can imagine my sorrow when I became allergic to fresh apples after I had kids. Since I can’t eat a cold, crisp apple straight from the fridge, I try to find as many ways as I can…
