Preschool: Introducing The Letter D

Even though Ella was a little under the weather today, she still had a lot of fun learning the letter “D.”  You say craft and that girl comes running with bells on!  Here are a few cute things we did. First we started by making a letter D and turning it into a dinosaur. Here’s […]

Nags Head, NC – A Great Place For A Family Vacation!

Now that I’ve slept in my bed one night, I’m so ready to be back in our 8 bedroom on the beach house with the 20 people I care about most.    Last week was pure bliss.  We stayed here in the OBX.  I’m one of four kids and we are all married and have kids, […]

Whole Grain Lasagna – South Beach Phase 3 Friendly

I know, I know… I’m moving from Paleo to South Beach.  Well, I still am a HUGE fan of Paleo, but I figure why not add some grains every once in a while.  I also did South Beach Diet after I had both my girls and it really helped me lose the weight really fast […]

Banana Pudding Trifle — Amazing!

Happy 4th of July!!!!  We’ve had such a great day.  One reason was because of this beauty!!!! I bet you’re wondering how you make it!  It’s so easy and fun!  Trifles are such a great way to serve dessert and a must have in the kitchen.  If you don’t have one, check out the one […]

Pom Pom Tutorial

I don’t know what it is about me and my girls’ rooms, but I kind of choose odd or should I say different colors than you would expect for a girl.  I knew I wanted Anna’s room gray and pink and I wanted Ella’s room blue with pink accents (post on that later).  We recently […]

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Whenever we go to anyone’s house, I think it’s a must to bring something.  Well, last weekend we went to one of my college friend’s house and I asked her what we could bring and she asked if husband could please make hummus.  Of all things, right?!?!  She loves his hummus (that he tweaked from […]

Ella’s 3rd Princess Pancake and Pajama Party

I know I’ve mentioned a million times how much I love throwing birthday parties for my girls.  This one was no exception at all!  It was so much fun!!!  In the planning process, I wanted to have a party that wouldn’t take up everyone’s Saturday or a time that would conflict with naps.  So, I […]

A Last Minute Picture Card For Father’s Day

Sometimes I just can’t think three weeks in advance for a card, so I can’t order a nice picture card from a photo company.  I also HATE the store bought wordy cards that you have to pay an arm and a leg for.  They usually go straight to the trash and I would much rather […]

My Sweet Girl Turns 3!

I began to think that I should take more videos of my kids.  I often (or always) forget.  So, I found some questions that I could ask my kids on each of their birthdays and see how much the answers change each year.  I found some cool questions here.  Here is a video of my […]

Red, White and Blueberry Trifle

Pinterest struck again!  My friend was debating what dessert to make for a Memorial Day cookout, so I saw this on Pinterest and I told her to give it a try!  I just love trifles! Okay, so you want to see the easiness of it?! All you need is: 10 oz angel food cake, cut […]
