It’s that time of year…the end of summer that some of us moms are sad to see come and others have been ready for since the first child said “I’m bored” back in late June. Yes, it’s back to school time! Last year, I thought if might be fun to host a Back to […]
chickpea salad
The “dog days” of summer are upon us. You know…those sunny, hot, and humid days that come in late July and last into August. We’ve had an unusually cool and rainy summer, so these warmer days are a nice change. The hot days are great if you are lounging by the pool or lakeside, but […]
washi wednesday vi
Today is a BIG day in our house! It is Grace’s first day of high school. She is a ninth grader…a high school freshman. I’m still trying to figure out how summer flew by so quickly, let alone how she can be old enough to be in high school! The first day of school calls […]
frozen birthday party
For my youngest daughter’s eighth birthday, we chose a Frozen themed party. It really wasn’t a hard choice…she fell in love with the movie and the characters of Elsa and Anna right after seeing the movie the first time. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve seen the movie since that first time! So […]
minions
Those little creatures, the MINIONS, are riding a tidal wave of popularity this summer. They have their own movie, the featured toy in Happy Meals at McDonald’s, a spot on the Chiquita banana stickers, and many toys to promote themselves. We saw the movie a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with these […]
shrimp stuffed mushrooms
We’ve been eating out a lot lately…well, actually just eating at the pool. It’s SO easy to do when we are already there for swim team and water ballet practice. The girls order food from the snack bar and keep on swimming and playing. Well, I have started to miss cooking…so I knew exactly which […]

So I’ve had some requests for the recipe of the mini strawberry hand pies that were pictured on my post this morning. My oldest daughter found the recipe here. I must confess that she was the baker of these delicious pies. I just sampled them for her! Strawberry Hand Pies Ingredients… CRUST 2 cups flour […]
strawberry baking
After we picked ALL those strawberries (20 plus pounds) last week, it was time to bake! And baked we did…muffins, mini hand pies, bread, cupcakes, pies, shortcakes! Everything was so yummy! There is nothing better than fresh picked strawberries. Out of all the recipes, my favorite was the strawberry rhubarb pie. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Ingredients… […]
san francisco…off the beaten path
Yesterday I shared my top five adventures that my family had while on summer vacation in San Francisco…the Golden Gate Bridge, riding the cable cars, Alcatraz, Coit Tower, and walking up Lombard Street. I know what you are thinking…these are all very touristy activities; but we had to experience them since we were in “the […]
summer party
Summer officially begins this Sunday…June 21st, although my kids have been calling it “summer” since the last day of school. It seems like such a short season, maybe because we try to fit in SO many activities in these warm months. Last year, I hosted a party for my daughter and her friends to celebrate […]
