Saving Money at Starbucks!

In the interest of sharing the savings I wanted to let you know that Happy Hour is back at Starbucks. From their site, “Starting May 6 and running through May 15, come into participating stores between 3-5 p.m. for a half-price Frappuccino® blended beverage of your choice.” I am so there.

Homemade Chocolate Pudding – Delicious!

When my grandma died last year she took most of her recipes with her. I wasn’t smart enough to compile a collection of them and since she didn’t write them down, many of them went to the grave with her. She was not much of a recipe follower anyway. She knew exactly what to add […]

Aprons!

Do you wear an apron? I have a few and I love them. I feel feminine and diligent when I wear my apron. Several years ago I might have thought that was a silly thing to say. But here I am a stay-at-home-mom with two children and a lot of household chores and my perspective […]

In Time for Mother’s Day – My First Giveaway!

Mother’s Day is special to me because I love my mom very much and also because I am so blessed to be a mommy now, too. Let’s face it…moms are awesome. I grew up with the “cool mom” who all my friends just loved. She is a great cook, a wonderful singer, an artist, a […]

Pizza Engineers: Tips for Having a Pizza Making Night With Your Kids

Pizza anyone? Pizza seems to be a meal most kids would eat every day. We eat at local pizzerias, carry out, and we sometimes make it at home. One of my children’s favorite ways to eat pizza is to make it themselves. They have a lot of fun and they get to decide exactly what […]

Weddings – Royal & Common – Share Your Memories

I love weddings. If I could pick any event to go to this weekend, a wedding would be on my short list. I had so much fun planning my husband’s and my wedding. I also gladly helped out with my sister’s recent nuptials.  There is not much to me that is more meaningful than being […]
