I figured that it was once again time for an update on my garden. The temps here are getting warmer and everything is growing great, but the caterpillars are out in full force. They have been chomping on everything from my broccoli to my summer mesclun to my potato plants. So today I purchased some […]

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend and were able to use some of my ideas from last week for food and fun. Today it is all about posting your kids art work somewhere other than the fridge. My sister recently moved into a new house, and she has been decorating up a […]

  Sorry for all the food posts lately, but I have been on a cooking rampage and just have to share all of my creations with you guys. Today I wanted to tell you about a recipe for vegan, gluten free brownies that are packed with black beans, applesauce, and zucchini. Yes, that is right […]

  Tonight for dinner I made some yummy turkey meatloaf loaded with zucchini and carrots with sweet potato fries and a salad with colorful tomatoes. The meatloaf was super tasty and better than the taste was the fact that it was loaded with veggies. To make the meatloaf I used about a pound of ground 93/7 turkey […]

Today my nephew came over for a play date, and while Madeline loves having him over and never wants him to leave, she also hasn’t quite mastered the art of playing WITH others. She is not quite two and I think she still shadow plays, while Kingston loves to play with her and she just […]

My kids love to participate in every holiday by making crafts just like me, so this year I came up with a few easy crafts that the kids and their friends at out Easter play date do. First up is a simple “bunny” mask for the kids to make and play with. For this craft […]

Yesterday I promised some fun Easter desserts from my mom group meet up, so I am here to deliver the goods. While I did make a few little items, none of them were heavily dessertish, this was a toddler get together after all. The first thing I made was some of my meal in a […]

To continue in the last few days of Easter and Spring related foods, today I have some fun ways to serve fruits and veggies. First off is a fun planter filled with hummus and various veggies and pretzels for dipping. How cute would this be as your table centerpiece? To pull this off, I used one […]

As I told you yesterday, I had some fellow mommas over to my house, and of course I had to make some fun Easter and Spring inspired snacks. Today I will share with you the cheesy snacks I provided, and in the next few days I will be sharing some of the other foods we […]

  Today I had my little group meet up with some fellow mommies. We had some snacks, played outside (it was quite hot at 83°), hunted for Easter eggs, and played in the sand box. But, I think the most successful part was the frozen DIY Easter egg popsicles I made for the kids. I only […]

I am always on the lookout for new ways to use things I have laying around the house. Those little plastic Easter eggs are no exception. They have had many uses for me besides just a place to store candy. I have used them as molds for my fruity pebble pops, as bath toys, as […]

Today I was able to find a little time to go to the garden center once again. That place is soooo addicting. Seriously, I can’t seem to stay away. It also doesn’t hurt that I still have a few items on my must plant list. And today I was lucky enough to find some of […]
