Orzo Pasta Salad — Seriously SO Good

Okay, okay.  Let me preface this by saying: I know I say all my recipes are so dang good, but this one.  Oh mannnnn.  I don’t even like olives and I fell in love with them here!  I’m such a soft cheese person.  It was the thing I missed most when I’m pregnant.  I crave […]

Preschool: Introducing the Letter A

Ella and I had a great time learning the letter A!  She loves all the crafts that come along with the learning. The first thing we did was take A-pple Jacks and create an A. Next, was my favorite part!  We created an alligator “A” that I learned from this cute blog!  All you need […]

10 Ways To Give Your Child an Academic Advantage

My husband works in online marketing and, as part of that, creates some pretty interesting infographics from time-to-time.  Generally, they aren’t the type of thing that fit in well with the posts we have on Enchanted Mommy, but this one is the exception. It is titled “10 Ways To Give Your Child an Academic Advantage”, […]

Washing A Car = A Fun Hot Day Activity

It seems like three little kiddies hop around between houses on my street.  One of them happens to be my three year old that two sweet five year olds include {insert my heart melting here}.  There is only so much “basement” fun you can have.  Well, one fun activity the neighbor had for them was […]

Fruit Dip – You’ll Never Serve Fruit Without It Anymore!

This is seriously amazing!  I’ve made it several times and it’s always been a hit. I got the idea because I loved the store bought “fruit dip.”  I knew it would be easy to make, so I tried it! All you need is: 15 oz. container marshmallow fluff 1 bar cream cheese softened All you […]

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 […]

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 […]
