Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Last weekend two fun things happened. The first was that my daughter Rebekah was in a production of Shrek Jr. Here she is as the cutest blind mouse ever. The second fun thing was that on a quick stop into the grocery store I discovered that blueberries were on sale! Blueberries are a family favorite, and so I might have …

Valentine’s I Spy
This week we finally put up all of the Valentine’s Day accouterments around the house, and of course my younger children started asking me when I would be making a new Valentine’s Day I Spy? They cracked me up with their, “It’s pretty easy for you Mom, right?” and their “We really like doing them!” This morning when I showed …

Red Velvet Quick Shake
Happy Mid-January friends! I know that some people might think setting up Valentine’s Day accoutrements in stores the day after Christmas seems a little premature, but I have to admit to being someone who finds immense pleasure in seeing those shiny red foil hearts and pink bursting blossoms on store shelves. I also think that all holiday celebrations are less …

Easy Pasta e Fagioli
Over fall break I took my children to Olive Garden for lunch. They fell in love with the Pasta e Fagioli dish that they serve there and have been asking to go back. Now because I am cheap…. a WHIZ in the kitchen, I instead decided to do what I do best. To come up with an easy to pull …

Five Tips For Teaching Kids To Declutter
I firmly believe in the power of feng shui and how items are placed and oriented in a room work towards controlling the energy in that room. If you have too much stuff, I believe your aura gets cluttered, and the energy flow in that room gets stifled. As adults, we mostly understand this. Even if we don’t always practice …
