I'm a little overloaded on the must-see-once-a-day shopping sites. You know, the ones that announce a different sale each day at amazing prices.

Go ahead and check out the private sales for moms and kids. You’ll get 40-70 percent off fantastic, quality lines. Today they're featuring discounts on Kettler, My Vintage Baby, and Zigo.

My kids don't know their Princesses (A Night at Disney on Ice)
October 15, 2009 By 3 Comments
I realized this last night at Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Magic in Philadelaphia. About halfway through the first act, I was narrating the story of Beauty and the Beast to Middle, my four year old son. He was amazed at this enormous monster that the audience loved. "Why," he asked, "does everyone "boo" the "normal man"?" There was total confusion, too, when the candlestick, mop and teapot started singing. Of course, it ended happily with the Beast turning into a handsome prince, but that part … [Read more...]

First, I need to tell you that my kids LOVE Popcorn Shrimp. Which, you can pull off really easily at a lot of restaurants. Especially when you get Chinese (order Sweet & Sour Shrimp with sauce on the side.) So, tonight, I ventured out a little. I convinced them that Shrimp with out the popcorn is still Shrimp. And they'll like it just as well. Tonight's dinner is a very big adaptation from Real Simple October 2009's Creamy Rice with Roasted Shrimp. In fact, they may be annoyed that I'm … [Read more...]

See, I have plans for this blog. I love what I’ve started, and now its going to get bigger. For some time now I’ve been toying with an idea. I love cooking. And, if you knew me when, you’re mouth might’ve just dropped. Creating a hole in the floor. Especially if you were my cooking partner in 7th grade Home Ec. Right Nikki and Mel? Because back then, Stir Fry was difficult for us. And a cream sauce. Oh. The cream sauce. That’s when I realized there’s a difference between 2 cups of … [Read more...]
