My kids are in bed, Stella’s backpack is packed. I sit down at my computer and I’m itching to blog. I can tell the end of summer is near. I have PTA and back-to-school paperwork duties to fulfill tonight. However, my “to-blog-about” list is long. Too long. But another list is short. 14?? Only fourteen? FOR
Macaroni and cheese is one of my all-time favorite side dishes. However, until last weekend, I had never made it from scratch. I always fell victim to the quick box version. My mom has made mac and cheese numerous times, but never the same recipe. So I didn’t have a family favorite recipe used over and
If you don’t follow me on Facebook or you aren’t a real-life friend, you may have wondered where I went? What happened? Did I drop off the face of the earth this summer? No. Summer has been fun and busy…and fun. However, my free time has been dedicated {I’m ashamed to say} to watching Scandal.
A friend recently brought these S’mores bars to our house. They were devoured by everyone. And they are peanut-free! She was kind enough to share the recipe. I made them in a 9 x 13 pan, but highly recommend a larger 10 x 15 pan. Mine still tasted yummy, but were “tall”. Very tall.

Friday night a group of friends from our neighborhood went to Dogwood Art Studio to do some painting. We had a lot of fun. Robin was a fantastic hostess and led all of us through the process of blank canvas to masterpiece. Some of us drank a little more than others…so some were more masterpieces
A couple of weeks ago I posted about painting fairy houses and clay pots. The kids really did enjoy that craft and then planting their own flowers for the Fairy Garden. But I also needed a few other supplies for our garden to come together completely. Let me say my motto was “go big or
How on earth is my baby girl SEVEN!?!?!? I am in denial. She’s growing so fast and switching over from things like Sophia the First cartoons to Dog with a Blog. And from princess movies to High School Musical. UGH!!! Here are a few of her other favorites she recited to me over lunch today:
If you have been in a Kroger over the past few weeks and have NOT noticed the Taste Of Mexico displays, you must have gone in with your eyes closed! Kroger has been celebrating the Taste Of Mexico this month with special events, recipes and tastings within the store. We tried out a few new
Remember that yummy Mojito recipe I shared in the past? Well, those same friends just introduced us to the Pepino. And YUM! This is another fabulous summer cocktail. So many thanks to them for sharing their recipes with us. We attended a Lobsta Bake at our pool last night and I decide to bring a
When it comes to being a stay-at-home-mom with three little kids…well, I’m becoming more and more in love with small conveniences. And some of them are totally unnecessary, but I’m ok with it. Like my new “water bottle holder”. I cannot tell you how many times the kids throw their water bottles into a nice
