Veggie Cups

Veggie Cups

I recently saw an awesome idea over at $5 Dinners and decided to give it a try. We have all seen the tired veggie tray with ranch dressing in the middle, but that can be quite a messy undertaking when the kiddos are serving themselves. This idea puts the veggies and the dip together in a portable and child sized cup. I recently [...]

Book Review: One Call Away by Brenda Warner

One Call Away

Sometimes you read a book that you expect to be mediocre and find it to be a gripping page turner that you cannot put down. This was my experience when I recently had the opportunity to read One Call Away by Brenda Warner.  The only reason I decided to read this particular book was because [...]

The Benefits of Child Carriers (And My Favs)

I’ll admit it – I am a baby carrier addict. At one point I owned seven different brands and styles. I even made one for my daughter so she could carry her dolls around. I love the freedom and convenience of baby carriers. Here’s a quick list of the benefits of using a baby carrier: [...]

After a long wait, I finally got to watch the latest (and best) film rendition of one of my favorite books, Jane Eyre. To celebrate, I am giving away a $15 gift card to Amazon.com (the gift card is not limited to books). I have recently read a lot of books that I have really enjoyed, including [...]

Chocolate Covered Strawberries – So Easy!

102_0316

I recently served chocolate covered strawberries at a gathering at my home and they were (of course) a big hit, especially with the children. Most people tend to think of these treats as something reserved for romantic holidays and couple time, but why restrict yourself to that when you can eat these tasty treats more often? I think that many people may think chocolate covered strawberries are difficult to make and quite a hassle.  That is far [...]

Halloween Costume Review – Affordable and Very Cute

102_0395

I recently recieved a Halloween costume to review from WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com. I was a little apprehensive about reviewing a costume because my daughter is very sensitive to how clothing feels and often complains of things being “too scratchy.”  WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com has a huge selection of girls Halloween costumes, but I was worried that whatever we selected, my daughter would reject it. She [...]

I recently heard that a woman I went to high school with lost her husband in a freak accident in Africa. She and her husband were missionaries in Malawi and were doing amazing things there. This woman was not a personal friend of mine, just a very nice girl I once shared a school with. [...]
