Slow Cooker Recipe: Sandra Lee’s Tuscan Turkey Meatloaf

August 29th, 2008

Sorry guys, no picture for this one.  I was all set to take one, but then tried to get it onto the plate and the resulting mess was pretty unappetizing.  Much like watching my kids eat.  So you’ll have to use your imagination.  For the food, not my kids eating.  You don’t want to […]

House keys for toddlers?

August 28th, 2008

Is it just me or is there something a little wrong with this? Sure an Elmo key is cute and I would have loved to have a colorful character on my house key when I was young. But Sesame Street? Isn’t the Sesame Street age group target a little young to […]

Wordless Wednesday: Party Like a 6-Year Old

August 27th, 2008

Before you all start calling Child Protective Services on me, this is my cousin’s idea of fun. His daughter fell asleep at dinner (a wedding rehearsal dinner of all places) and you never want to fall asleep around my cousin. Especially if you’re his child!

No cash…no problem!

August 25th, 2008

Someone e-mailed this link to me the other day and I couldn’t resist passing it on. It never dawned on me to do it but I imagine it would be pretty easy. Something for us busy moms to think about when we have a bunch of hungry kids in the backseat and […]

It’s just Man Stuff

August 22nd, 2008

I was over at From Dawn Till Rusk the other day and was laughing at her post about her daughter’s fear of her brother’s willy. It got me thinking about men and their fascination with their, umm, extremities.
My 2-year-old son is no exception. One day after getting his diaper changed, he stood […]

Rachael Ray Recipe: Spinach-Artichoke Pasta Salad

August 21st, 2008

This recipe comes from Rachel Ray’s Cooking ‘Round the Clock cookbook. I love pasta salad and usually make a more simplified version with rotelli pasta and Italian dressing, but had to try this because it sounded so good! Dr. DreamyMcSteamy and I really enjoyed it and it made a nice light dinner […]

Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas

August 19th, 2008

The other weekend we joined a couple of other busy mamas and their families for a few relaxing days and nights at the newly-built Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas in Kauai (a 20-minute flight from Honolulu). It was the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation we’ve had in years!

We arrived at the resort […]

My Favorite Flashlight: Oval LED Flashlight

August 18th, 2008

I have a thing for flashlights and lanterns. Just check out our camping gear and you’ll see what I mean. Big Maglite flashlights, teeny little flashlights for the kids, flashlights with princess and cars on them, battery operated lanterns, fluorescent lanterns, propane lanterns, solar powered lanterns…you name it we got it. […]
