4 years ago today. 4 years ago today my husband and I were married. 4 years ago today we did not have our 3 little magnificent babies. 4 years ago today we were sipping cocktails on the beach in Hawaii giggling that 4 of my bridesmaids were pregnant, my matron of honor was pregnant, our wedding coordinator was pregnant and our wedding photographer was pregnant. Little did we know the...
So it's just shy of 100 degrees around our house right now. In fact it was 90 IN OUR HOUSE last night!! We were all completely melting, but I gotta hand it to Piper...she helped the whole fam damily out. Normally she goes down like a champ by 7:15... But not last night. Every time I tried to get her down, poor thing just kept crying. She was so hot....
My Genius Sister-in-Law, my Brilliant Sister-in-Law and I threw a baby shower for my ever so pregnant Fabulous Sister-in-Law this past weekend (Yep. That's a lot of Sister-in-Laws!!). Now to say that I was really involved...kind of a stretch. I helped with the games. Genius Sister-in-Law was the amazing brain and orchestrator and Brilliant Sister-in-Law came up with a BRILLIANT gift addition to the shower. It was such a sweet...
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...
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...
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...
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...
(Image from Real Simple) 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...
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...
