The home that I grew up in, though happy and loving and magical beyond measure, was not one to be overrun by sweets. That’s not to say that we didn’t have our fair share of sugar on occasion — there were holidays, the intermittent Oreos and my mom’s famous mile-high snickerdoodles — but the typical…
The princess and the baked good
There’s a kitchen battle waging in our house lately, reoccurring like clockwork at noon and 6 p.m. each day, and ironically, the instigator is the littlest among us. Our 14-month-old daughter, whose expanding palate and mighty will we find both glorious and challenging at the same time, has wholeheartedly embraced her culinary preferences as means…
A cure for what ails you: Roasted vegetable soup
Wintertime is wonderful for so many reasons, but getting a cold is not one of them. Unfortunately, a seasonal bout of sickies befell our casa last week. The grownups of the house are still in the thick of it, but little Beany is thankfully on the mends and rapidly gaining back all that toddler energy….
Happy New Year: DIY party hats
Happy, happy 2013 to all! We’re still busy enjoying the last few days of holiday fun (we’ll be back to the regular swing of things all too soon), but for now I thought I’d drop in and share the homemade hats that helped us ring in the New Year. Jared surprised us all with his…
Have a holly, jolly Christmas!
Well, the countdown is closing in. With cookies still to bake, presents still to wrap and snow time fun still to be had, we’re going full-on Christmas here, and I’m happy beyond happy to be able to soak up the holiday with family and pups and baby snuggles galore. I hope your holiday is a…
Fit for Santa’s team: Rudolph loves cookies
With Christmas only days away, we’re squeezing in every last ounce of holiday fun, food and crafty goodness that we can before Santa hits the slopes and heads to town (presuming that his sled does a bit of skiing action before taking to the air). And what better way to welcome him to our humble…
Now, that’s neighborly: Simple homemade peppermint bark
There are about five gazillion things that I love about Christmas, but one that I didn’t realize how much I loved until I moved away from home was the neighborhood gift exchange that happens annually on my parents’ street. I know similar traditions pop up in neighborhoods everywhere, but I like to think that our…
Wrapping Week 2012: Boy Likes Bike
As Wrapping Week comes to a close, I thought I’d wrap things up by giving a nod to the sole guy in our house, the one who’s slightly less enthused than the rest of us by (though incredibly tolerant of) the overflowing bows, ribbons and gets-everywhere glitter that have spent the past four days covering…
Wrapping Week 2012: Put a Snowflake on It
I love a pretty package and will happily sit on the floor of my living room, surrounded by piles of paper, ribbon and tape, until every last present is wrapped, but I realize that spending two hours on a Tuesday night crafting intricate bows out of shopping bags isn’t everyone’s idea of a good time….
