I’ve been listening to Pandora Internet radio lately as background music while working on the computer or doing mom stuff around the house. And I’m loving it for a few reasons. One, it’s not the Wiggles, or the Music Together CD. And two, it’s great new music that I like. If you don’t already know [...]

I’ve made real dinners three nights this week. And by real, I mean it wasn’t mac n cheese, or a cheese crisp, or something frozen from Trader Joe’s that I poured into a pan and heated up. And they’ve all gotten rave reviews. The first was a spicy sausage penne recipe from Stephmodo (okay the [...]

I love these 39″ tin star garlands for decking out the house for a festive Fourth. I think these would look great strung across a mantle, or maybe even cut off the garland and scattered on a table for some star spangled drama.

If I knew how to sew, these are the kinds of baby things I’d make. The Etsy shop Bits for Baby offers great selection of appliqued onesies with matching bibs, pacifier pouches and burp cloths. I love appliqued clothing both for its texture and because it says “Looky here! A lot of love went into [...]

I admit I was a wee bit too into the details of planning my wedding. Many hours were spent picking out the perfect invitations, designing the little maps printed on vellum paper, stuffing the tissue paper in each one, and of course selecting the perfect lovey dovey flower stamps. Once the invitations were complete, I [...]

Clearly I don’t pay enough attention when cruising the cereal aisle, because I just discovered Fruity Cheerios yesterday. And they’ve been for sale for two years. So I’ll take a chance that this Froot Loop alternative is new to you too. Why do I love them so? They’re made with whole grains and with less [...]
