One of my favorite flavor combinations in the summer is lemon and blueberry…so yummy! Because we have a little more time in the mornings now (no rushing out the door to school), I like to bake this for my girls for breakfast. Lemon Blueberry Breakfast Bread You will need… 2 cups flour 1 1/2 teaspoons […]

no bow gift wrap
Today is my niece’s birthday! I can’t believe she is 10 years old…time does fly! My girls and I had a fun time choosing a few gifts for her last week. Unfortunately, we don’t get to see her open those presents. She lives in Charlotte, NC…which means we will need to mail a package to […]
friday’s favorites
My favorite things this week… beautiful marbled roses from Floral Pursuit in downtown Toledo lunch at Grumpy’s…love the garbage salad whimsical packaging on these soaps from The Art Supply Depo vacation planning a fresh manicure Happy weekend!
summer reading plan
I loved to read when I was a kid…I still do! Summer reading was and still is more enjoyable to me. There is nothing like taking a good book and curling up in the hammock while reading. Unfortunately, two of my daughters have struggled with reading over the years. They are dyslexic learners, which makes […]
what’s in my bag
The pool days are upon us! Those long carefree days spent at the pool…swim team practice, water ballet rehearsals, swim playdates with friends. Lots of our summer hours are spent at the pool. That means it’s time to pack the pool bag for the season… I love my new pool bag! It has everything I […]
summer supper
School is out, and summer weather is here! While I enjoy having more time with the kids in the summer, it does make cooking a little more challenging…at least finding the time to cook. A lot of our meals are done on the grill (P handles that), while I take care of the side dishes […]

end of school year milestones…retirement and graduation
Today is the last day of school in our community…the day all school children have been ready to see for the last month! Except my second grader, who went to bed in tears last night. The tears are understandable, as she has had an exceptional teacher this year. I couldn’t dream of a more compassionate, […]
ballerina girl
It’s that time of year again…time for little girls (and boys) to show their families all they have learned throughout the past year while attending dance class. Some dance studios call it a recital, some call it a showcase, others call it a dance review. No matter what it is called, it is a time for […]
“painting” bread
I usually have a healthy snack waiting for my girls when they come home from school…fruit, granola bars, yogurt, carrot sticks. I try to make Fridays a little more fun. After all, it is the final school day of the week leading into the weekend fun! Sometimes it is a sweet treat…other times it is […]
