This is a sponsored post. Now that Roc is in preschool, I’m always on the hunt for something healthy, yummy and easy to either pack in his lunch box or have ready for him when he comes home.  I’ve been a big fan of the Kidfresh line of frozen kid’s meals with hidden veggies for […]

How to Make Gnocchi Like a Pro with Craftsy.com

Raise your hand if you grew up knowing that Wednesday was “Prince Spaghetti Day?” But I bet you did not know that Thursday is typically Gnocchi Day in Rome. Neither did I.  Until a few days ago. That’s just one of many fascinating facts that I learned recently while partaking in Chef Gerri Sarnataro’s “How […]

{Guest Post} From One Child to Two…Learning to Embrace the Chaos and Enjoy the Moment

I get my inspiration for blog posts from a variety of sources, and the daily Facebook musings and interactions of my friends and fans are no exception.  A recent status update of my college friend, Susan Adell, resonated with me on a few levels.  She shared about managing her once Type-A life with her newly […]

Wordless Wednesday: Decorating a Mantle for Fall

My mom and I were at it again — hitting a big Michael’s half-price sale recently to accomplish a Fall motif for my mantle on a budget. We purchased two (2) six-foot leaf garlands and about three decorative Fall foliage inserts for greens and texture.  We filled the candlesticks with amber-colored glass beads and a […]

And I proved to myself that sometimes, doing things a wee bit spontaneous can be extraordinarily rewarding and surprisingly […]

The Perfect Margarita was found in the 100th Anniversary Perfect Ball® Mason Jar {Giveaway Closed}

They had me at $5 margarita.  Oh, but did I walk away with so much more. It was our first night in Del Mar, California just a few weeks back, and the hubs knew of a quaint spot for dinner called Americana that prided itself on fresh, local ingredients and sweeping sunset views over the […]
