Happy Friday everyone! It’s our last family weekend with 4, come Tuesday we will be 5…and that just sounds like a BIG NUMBER! My husband is thinking plane tickets, ski lift tickets, school tuition, cars, and weddings…..I’m just thinking of shoes….

Just to let you know, next week’s menu and shopping list are posted.  And I am hoping to post one for each of the weeks in March.  We will not be making these menus in our house as we have been given  a GIFT from SO MANY FRIENDS AND FAMILY…our dinners will be arriving…

Happy Friday Everyone!!

So this Friday’s suggestions actually come from a reader that sent in a request for “Meatless Menus” for the next 5 Fridays in observance of Lent.  Now if you know me at all, then you know I’m not a seafood eater, so typically when we go in the seafood direction I’m heading to Bear Flag Fish Company for fish tacos because they are AMAZING!  Or to Gulfstream for their grilled Ono, YUM! Neither of these have any “fishy” taste to me and I HIGHLY recommend!  But we really…

What to do for a birthday party when one daughter is turning 1, the other is turning 2, the budget is limited, and you have 2 weeks left before Baby #3 arrives????

SOCK HOP!!!

And thankfully the rain held out for us.  It got a little chilly by the end, but I think both kids and parents had fun, and I honestly felt like it was the easiest party we’ve thrown.  (BTW – VERY HELPFUL to have a very patient and helpful husband, and a fabulous sister!)

…

Happy Friday!  We made it one more week without Baby #3 arriving, whooohoooo!!

Saturday is the girls double birthday party. Hoping the rain doesn’t come….rain and an outdoor Sock Hop just don’t mix!  Think good thoughts for me!  Addie had fun practicing her dance moves and trying on her skirt…hoping she’ll still like the skirt on Saturday…

The meal plan and shopping list are up for next week, as a reminder, I post the EXACT menu that our family is eating.  The past few weeks I’ve had a lot of evening events, so the meals have been…

Wishing you all much happiness, good health, laughter, prosperity and good fortune!

It was a BUSY week and weekend in our house, and I’m finding the “To Do” list is getting longer, the weeks before Baby #3 are getting shorter, and I’m getting more and more behind!  I apologize for not keeping up as I had planned to…I’m crossing my fingers I can get better at all of this!  Until then, here are a few photos from our Chinese New Year/Valentine/February Birthday Party.  Hope  you all had a wonderful day as well!

Ours started with,

“WHOA,…

Does wine REALLY require words?

This is all you need to know:

It’s about $8 at the grocery store.

“Full and rich flavors of Black Cassis and Black Cherry dominate the broad pallet with a long, smooth finish. Underlying notes of vanilla and cola fan out on the expressive bold finish.”

A friend told me to try it.

I did, I liked it, mellow, fruit flavor.

Good week night dinner wine!

I don’t think Chocolate Fondue EVER needs explanation.

But if you want one, here’s the easy recipe.

To die for.

This week has been a total blur, not really sure HOW we got to Friday!  And I really can’t believe that Christmas is next week, WOW….nor can I believe that my darling right hand will be on vacation all next week.  Just me and the kids and no car, I see LOTS of walking adventures in our future!

But back to the season.  Isn’t it fun to receive all of the holiday cards from friends and family?!  Definitely a favorite part of the season for me!  I…

There is no better description for Juliska’s tableware, than their own description.
It truly could be “the most beautiful tableware in the world“.

And I’m not the only one to think so – House Beautiful, Elle Decor, Metropolitan Home, Martha Stewart Living, countless celebrities, high end department stores and my very own book club all feel the same way!

What I love most about Juliska’s products is that they are FAMILY FRIENDLY.
(And it doesn’t hurt that they are BEAUTIFUL and FUNCTIONAL too.)

David and Capucine Gooding, the magicians behind Juliska,…

I’m new to the blogging world as most of you know.  “My Favorite Everything” is 6 1/2 weeks old today (shameless plug is about to happen….with just over 6K visitors and 21K pageviews!  Thank you for stopping by to visit so often…please continue to spread the word!)

Imagine how excited I was when fabulous Day Tripping Mom invited me to an event with other bloggers…and it was for “Got Milk?”  For those that don’t know me, milk is…
