Hey friends! It’s Summer. I’m sure you haven’t actually figured that out on your own. Ms. Captain Obvious here. My kiddos are out of school and draping themselves lazily across my various furniture pieces, leaving random wrappers for snacks I didn’t even know were in my cupboard tucked sneakily into couch cushions and…honestly, driving me […]
Beef Pie with Scratch Crust Recipe
Nothing screams “Spring!” like Beef Pie. Right? Doesn’t Beef Pie conjure up images of daffodils and tulips glistening with morning dew? Baby lambs trotting along gaily in a freshly carpeted grass field next to their fluffy mothers? Sunshine slowly warming the cherry blossoms to pink perfection? Um, no? Admittedly, there is nothing about Beef Pie that infuses […]
Minted Wedding Invitations – A Review
The year was 2000. I was knee-deep in the planning process and trying to figure out how to throw a champagne wedding on an Old E 40oz budget. One of the most stressful parts of the whole process was choosing wedding invitations, RSVP cards and envelopes. I pictured embossing, glitter, photos, foil. I ended up […]
Seasonal Allergies…What a Pain in the Nose!
Achoo! Seasonal allergies are among us folks and plaguing a good part of the country. I happen to live in an area where there are about as many pollen spores as oxygen molecules in the air. Lucky me. I’ve considered whether bedazzling a surgical mask or persuading RayBan to produce their version of aviator swim […]
Salted Caramel Banana Pancakes Recipe
I am almost too embarrassed to post this here. Almost. But those who know me well (and potentially those who don’t know me at all but are particularly astute at forming opinions based on a certain someone’s obvious propensity for taking the easy way every. single. time and then writing about it on a blog) […]
The After Christmas Blahs
The After Christmas blahs. Am I alone here? Possibly, but doubtful. The time following all the holiday hub-bub is quite a conundrum, really. The two weeks of holiday madness, though spectacularly satisfying, can also be fatigue-inducing mayhem. As bittersweet as winding down from the months of planning and producing can be, there is admittedly a bit of a […]
A Frozen Turkey (Thanksgiving 2014)
Happy impending Turkey Day friends! I can hardly believe this holiday is upon us once again and that it’s already been 365 days since the last time I made myself sick with StoveTop stuffing and drank about 32 too many mimosas while watching my kids sit on the couch wondering who invented the lame holiday where we […]
Zucchini Bread Recipe
We’ve got zucchini coming out of our wazoos, people. Hub’s garden has been spitting the stuff out like it’s getting paid by the pound. And we all know how hubs feels about wasting his bounty. Need a reminder? Check out this blog post and you’ll understand my pain. So, I’ve been cooking with it. And […]
Friday Favorites
I believe a weekly wrap-up of some of my favorites is in order. Why? Because it’s Friday and I’ve had some favorites. I know. Groundbreaking stuff here. Favorite #1: That I’m married to a hunky guy who doubles as a hairstylist. Okay, hairstylist might be a stretch. But he periodically (and confidently!) removes hair from […]
The Dirty Dash 2014
“So, Mindy. I plan on taking the kids on this obstacle course thing. The Dirty Dash 2014. Pretty much we jump around in mud, race across a field, climb stuff. In mud. K?” Forcing back my germaphobic tendencies and involuntary eye tick I calmly respond, “Uh, no.” And so it went, back and forth, until Hubs […]
