I woke up one morning and they were big. I don’t know how it happened, but now I have one heading to Pre-K, one to 1st grade, and one to 3rd grade. It seems like last week that we were going to...
Today is Memorial Day. I hope that you have had your fill of hamburgers and hot dogs, and that you had a glorious weekend with friends and family. I know that I have. Friday was the last day of schoo...
I am having a hard time believing that Memorial Day weekend starts today. Somehow it completely snuck up on me, and I have made nothing red, white, and blue yet. I feel really bad about that. I live ...
This year, we are celebrating summer with the Happy Family Movement by creating a Summer Bucket List. This is the perfect summer for the kids and I to travel and see as many sites as we can. We leave...
So far May has been a whirlwind. In a good way, but it is flying by. A few weeks ago, I went to Dole, and this week, I went to Minneapolis to visit General Mills International Headquarters. If you ev...
Have you ever wondered where your food really comes from? I thought about it, but in truth, I didn’t think it all the way through. I know that lettuce comes from the ground, but the lettuce tha...
What I really should call this ice cream is “Kitty Cat” ice cream. My children are getting to the point where homemade ice cream is no longer impressive to them. They are so jaded. I try ...
My mom is amazing. Sure, she makes me crazy sometimes, but she is a driving force in my life, and I am proud to call her my mother. Here are 10 reasons (in no particular order) why she inspires me ev...
We recently have started a new little tradition. For the last few months, we have been going out for a late Sunday brunch. Even though I am not a huge breakfast eater, I do like to eat breakfast food...
Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream The Scharffen Berger Twitter Party that is! Today was one of those days when I had a million things to do. A to-do list a mile long, and not enough hours to ...
It is no secret that I love cooking in the kitchen with my children. There are few other things that I think are more important than teaching your children how to cook. By teaching them how to cook, ...
Today I am teaming up with Pampered Chef to Help Whip Cancer. Pampered Chef is donating 25% of Help Whip Cancer® Fundraiser Cooking Show sales during the months of May and October to the American Can...
When I met my husband years ago, he had never eaten asparagus. Unless the burger came with lettuce and tomato (which he would take off and leave on the side of the plate), that was the only color tha...
Last spring, I went to a blogger event at Grange in Sacramento. We went to the farmers’ market across the street, bought ingredients, went back to the restaurant, and the chef made us an incred...
I promised you something to do with the lemon curd that you might have left over, didn’t I? Well, I delivered. In a big way. These lemon raspberry pancakes exceeded my expectations when I made ...
Did y’all have a good weekend? We had a fabulous one. We are doing the big pre-move purge. There is something very rewarding about downsizing and organizing. I like moving to a new place and be...
Did you know that I have a brand spankin’ new Facebook page? I do. It is so cute, it hurts. I realized that making a Facebook fan page so-cute-that-it-hurts was above my skill set, so I did wha...
I cannot take credit for this one, there is a really good burger place in Lawrence, Kansas called The Burger Stand. They have a condiment station that rivals any I have ever seen. All of the condimen...
There is absolutely nothing more special than welcoming your first child into the world. All children are a blessing, but there is something so magical about your first. Today, we are celebrating Car...
Thank you very much for the nice comments on my last post. My son’s elbow is doing better. He was supposed to get a plaster cast yesterday, but it is still too swollen, so were aiming for Monda...
My poor baby broke his elbow yesterday. He was playing on the monkey bars at school and fell and landed on his elbow. It was very long day at the hospital getting him fixed up, and he was a trooper. ...
My good friend and business partner, Stacey Woods, and I have been very busy behind the scenes creating an e-course just for you. Together, we run and curate The Creative Mama, and after receiving ma...
I love having parties. I really do. I love planning my menu, putting out fresh flowers, and doing as much as possible ahead of time so that I can enjoy my guests to the fullest. When Dole reached out...
As you can see, my sweet little spot on the Internet has gotten a facelift. It was time to make a change and I was overjoyed to work with two people again (the same duo that created the new look for ...

I don’t know why people think that lasagna is hard to make. Even when making it the traditional way, it is really all about assembling. This version is made in the slow cooker, and it could not...
It is dark and stormy outside. Lots of thunder and lightening. It is the perfect day to stay inside in your jammies and watch movies. I am fairly incapable of concentrating on anything else because I...
I just spent the last 3 hours on the couch sobbing while watching The Blind Side. I love that movie, and it gets me every time I see it. I am always amazed at how a split second decision to turn a ca...
Right now, I am sitting in my office, trying to write this post, and I cannot tear my eyes away from Duck Dynasty. I cannot believe that I just admitted that to The Internet, but it is entertaining i...
I am not even going to bother with chit chat. Let’s just talk about these fries. They are insane. Beyond what I could have ever expected in a French fry. Heaven in a cast iron skillet. Amazing....
