What do you do with your leftovers? Do you panic to use them up the same week? Sometimes I plan out the week and make sure I'm cooking enough chicken or steak for later in the week to simplify my life. But other times I know we wont be around to eat it, or that I've got a busy week the following week. Simple solution, a freezer Ziplock. Just prep...
Weekend chores. No one really wants to do them, but they don't ever go away until they get done, so I guess it's better to just button up and do em. And really, some chores can be a whole lot more fun than others. Take washing the outdoor cushions?? The super dirty, never gonna.get.em.totally.clean.before.company.comes.over.the.next.day.cushions. While the Little Punks and I were giving all their outdoor sandbox toys a bath in...
I get asked for the paint color in Piper's Room and the Play Room all.the.time. But I'm a little disorganized and a little scattered and a lot lazy. The paint lives in the garage, in one of Hubs childproof/mom proof cabinets, in cans that have numbers...and whenever I've needed more paint I've just called our painter and he takes care of getting it for me. See?! Lazy. But Hubs was...
I have to be totally honest. This is not an original idea, but I don't have a clue where I first saw it now. You know when you start down the rabbit hole of sites? When you're one place and then before you know it you've been to a 1000 places? When you've loved 90% of the places the rabbit hole has taken you? And you've been too lazy to...
Back in June we took the Little Punks to check out the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach. Â Since it's only 10 minutes from our house, it has always seemed like a perfect staycation spot, but of course since it's 10 minutes out our door, I've never stopped to check it out. Mistake. Should have tried it ages ago. Don't wait as long as I did. The Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach has...
I completely love House Beautiful. Without a doubt EVERY SINGLE TIME I have a design decision to make, it almost always has the answer for me. Take for instance our Vegetable Garden fence. Now we do not have a large garden like this. We do not have a dinner table in the middle of our garden, and we do not live in the Hamptons. Nor do we have deer that...
This is just a little reminder that life doesn't need to be fancy. You know how you can spend all that $$ on the fancy wooden organic oh so fabulous baby toy, but somehow your baby always wants to crawl into the Tupperware drawer instead?? Life with kids really can be just that simple. And sometimes, just getting to eat your lunch on the floor sitting on blankets...a picnic in...
Planning on traveling out of the country this summer, or frankly EVER? Some of this may also apply if you'll be somewhere closer to home, but remote. In this case I'm writing in regards to our being both out of the country for a month, and VERY remote. 1. Talk to your Pediatrician about prescribed medications your Littles may need. If you are traveling internationally, and your child needs antibiotics,...
