Summer solstice happens this week and this always makes me feel like it’s just downhill from here on out. A new school year will soon be upon us and I’ll be back to the daily grind of fixing lunches and signing field trip forms. But, when school time does roll around, one of the things…
With so many wonderful fruits {and veggies} in season right now, I find myself craving drinks and snacks that I can incorporate them into. The other day I pretty much finished off an entire pint of organic grape tomatoes along with some hummus that my sister had in her fridge that was just begging to…
Wow! Are WE ready for summer or what?! I was so excited to visit one of my favorite places for kids' clothes — The Children's Place — to pick out a fun new outfit for my two and a-half-year-old babe. He gets so many hand-me-downs from his two older brothers that it's nice every once…

New York city mayor Bloomberg is a super-sized jackass & should be banned. I'm just sayin'. I have been so insanely looking forward to posting about this ever since I heard about it last week.
