Peace, love and eight year olds

I thought I’d share a few more photos from my daughter’s birthday party this weekend. In addition to making the peace cake, we also made a “Pin the Middle on the Peace Sign” game for the kids to play. It’s always fun to come up with a new variation of Pin the Tail on the […]

She dreamed up this chocolate, vanilla, sprinkle and rainbow-covered peace sign cake and named it “Party City!” It was made in a silicone Fred and Friends Peace of Cake mold that we bought (new in the box) at a garage sale this […]

First day of school breakfast

And the kids are off to their first day of school! Last night I perused a few fancy back-to-school breakfasts online. We’re talking homemade muffins, loads of printables, washi tape, flags, inspirational quotes. You know — supermom stuff. I was too tired to attempt any of it, so I closed my computer and went to […]

Colorful rolling carts and storage bins

We recently stayed at my aunt’s house in Berkeley. It was such a colorful and creative home, and one of the things I loved was the bright red tool cabinet that she used for storage in the bathroom. A few days ago, a post on one of my favorite blogs, Design Mom, reminded me about […]

Green smoothie cleanse

I know green drinks have been all the rage for some time now. I really was never that interested in jumping on that trend until I met two friends for coffee the other day and heard what they had to say. They had both recently done the same one week green smoothie cleanse and both […]

Fun summer meal: Muffin tin lunch (or dinner)
