Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book: I am still on Dan Ariely’s “The Upside of Irrationality”. It’s interesting…. but I still don’t see an upside. His last experiment was basically about how we should break up our activities that we derive pleasure from (like read a book, hobbies, etc.) and just plow through those activities that we find …
Book: I finished “Leaving Time” by Jodi Picoult… since my library gives me ONE week to read this particular book or suffer $1 per day! But I can’t say anything about the ending or that might ruin it for you and you do NOT want to have the ending ruined in this book. I probably …
I hope everyone had a GREAT Thanksgiving. Apples are still flowing at the grocery stores and these little babies would be fabulous to whip up one evening to freeze for breakfast, a brunch party, a baby shower or when you are invited to someone’s house at the last minute. We served these scones at my …
I bribed my two children with Sheridan’s concretes this weekend in order to get our Fall photos done. Juliana turned 4 just recently and I like these in lieu of the Fall school pictures for Maddox. I loved all of them, so it was hard to choose what to put here! My friends …
Whew! So I finally have a kitchen again that has more than 2 drawers, but with that comes LOTS of moving and unpacking. Bonus – I didn’t have to exercise because I was moving furniture! I love practical and functional in one 🙂 So here are the rooms I have done so far in the …
Book Update: I finished “Secret Daughter” by Shilpi Somaya Gowda this week – it was really good. The book was an international bestseller and on the NY Times bestselling list. The book follows two families: an American couple wanting to adopt (the husband is from India and the wife is from California) and an Indian couple. …
I am almost finished with reading “The Chaperone” by Laura Moriarty. What a cool name to have! Anyway, I would give it 4/5 stars. I love that it is a page turner with some twists and turns. It is really interesting to learn and remember how times have changed from 100 years ago. I wouldn’t …
Hey Everybody!!!! So… I’ve been doing this blog 3 years. THREE years. Non-stop through anything and everything. That is until I sold my home. It’s like a 24 hour job! Cleaning 3 times per day, packing half of the house into a truck and then a storage unit, touching up inside and out. Wow! …
I’ve made this recipe quite a few times and this time we made them for Valentine’s Day. I couldn’t believe I was 14 days behind on photos! We hired a real estate agent on Saturday and putting the house up for sale on Thursday or Friday – so, it has been quite the busy week. …
Good morning! My husband loved this banana bread and the kids are very fond of banana as well. The “Cooking Light” people did a different take on banana bread by caramelizing the sugars in the bananas first before mashing them into the quick bread recipe. I left off the glaze, but certainly feel free …
