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 […]

A Fun Day at Frying Pan Park – Herndon, VA

Painting Shutters Can Totally Change the Look of Your House

We bought a short sale.  Enough said right?!  I mean some people luck out and find a short sale that is in great condition.  We weren’t all that lucky.  We had an HOA violation sheet with about 25 no no’s on it.  One of the items was our shutters.  We have blue siding and we […]

My Mother’s Day Gifts – – Reviewed!

I’m not writing this post to put out there my gifts, in fact I personally hate it when people do that.   I’m reviewing my gifts for you because I think they are two things that are great for moms or women in general. I go to the gym, so what if it’s partly to get […]

Patriotic Strawberries — Happy Memorial Day!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! You’re probably wondering why I’m posting this on Memorial Day night.  Well, July 4th is just around the corner and these are the PERFECT thing to make.  People are so impressed when my husband makes these.  He actually made these for two cookouts this weekend. Let’s just say that these are a […]

A Chicken Salad Recipe You Have To Try

This recipe is awesome!  It’s great to serve as an appetizer with crackers, on top of a salad for lunch, or even as a sandwich.  Take a look at my lunch from Monday. This chicken salad is so much more than mayo and chicken.  The more you add, the better it tastes! I got this […]
