Hi friends and Happy Friday! Well, we’re already over half way into January and Twenty 13 has been great so far! I usually have a little bit of a hard time after the holidays and January, February and March are not my most favorite months. No offense if your birthday falls in these months…Holden’s birthday [...]
Happy day after V-day! Weekdays are obviously hectic with homework and stuff, so I decided to keep dinner semi-simple, yet special last night. Last week my cousin, Gia, posted something on Facebook about a sushi bake…I immediately commented that I needed the recipe ASAP. When I was pregnant, I ate lots of baked rolls since [...]
Leapin’ Lizards! Where did January go? February is here and we get one extra day this year…yay! It may still be the shortest month of the year, but it’s already proving to be a busy one with the Superbowl {go Pats!}, after school enrichment classes, a visit from Gramma, Valentine’s Day, the 100th day of [...]
I hated taking down the stockings from the fireplace after Christmas. While I was out scouring the sales on holiday goodness, I thought about finding some red {or pink. or white.} stockings and transforming them into Valentine’s Day stockings. I picked up a sparkly “E” ornament at Kohl’s and an equally, if not more sparkly, [...]
Dear Monday, I {heart} you because… you are the prelude to a new week filled with endless possibilities! {via} Found this darling FREE printable on Pinterest {of course!} and fell in love. Grab an old 8X10 frame and print out this bad boy ~ looks fine on regular old printer paper, but I used photo [...]
When I first spotted this scrumptious cheesecake, I knew it had to go on {the list}. Um, it has Keebler Fudge Striped cookies. As. The. Crust. Enough said… Would’ve probably made it sooner, but I didn’t have a spring form pan. But, I do NOW….and I DID make this cheesecake for our Valentine’s Day dessert. [...]
Today Holden exchanged valentines at school. The only red{ish} shirt that was clean was his plaid dress shirt. As I was ironing it this morning, Elliott pipes in, “You know how to do that, Mommy?” Apparently she’s never seen me press anything…..uh, and maybe I haven’t pressed anything in the last 5 years and 9 [...]
My friend, Hollie, had a brilliant idea… Take turns swapping the kids and celebrate Valentine’s Day sans midgets! GREAT idea. Jay and I celebrated last night and the Sullivan kiddos will come spend a few hours with us tonight. We went to Saturday evening Mass and then came home to prepare a Pioneer Woman Valentine’s [...]
The only thing missing is a finalized menu, some vino & my Valentine! My sweet friend Hollie and I are doing a kid swap so we can enjoy a nice, uninterrupted meal this February 14th!
