Despite the kids being away at vacation bible school this evening with D’s mom, I decided I’d make dinner for my wonderful hub and I because I’ve been wanting to try out this great new recipe for an Easy Mexican Casserole. I know – being a Latina, I should be ashamed of…

Mini Farmer’s Market.
Today on the way back from N's violin lesson, we spotted a very small but quaint Farmer's Market that had set up shop on one of the busy roads of a nearby neighborhood. It was just N and I in the car so I decided that it wouldn't be too…

Inspired to cook.
Anyone who knows me well enough, knows I don’t enjoy cooking all that much, and that I am not particularly good at it either. The other night while D and I were watching our DVRd episode of one of our favorite shows, I was totally determined to find a good…

33 and counting.
We celebrated D’s birthday today so you know what that meant. CUPCAKES! We set out to find cupcakes this morning since N had a very clear picture of what kind of cupcakes he wanted for his Dad. He clearly described them as needing to be Incredible Hulk and other superhero…

Meat lovers, listen up!

I’ve recently contracted with a nationwide media/marketing company that helps national companies market their products and services to moms. They contacted me a few months ago about working with me as a partner to help reach…

I guess it IS hip to be square!
Today while taking a leisurely stroll through Target for some basic grocery items (plus a few extras), I noticed they now have square bagels in the refrigerated case. I fall for new stuff all the time, so naturally I picked up a package. I guess I just wonder what in the…

Yet another smart move by me.
A couple of weeks ago I received a promotional email about purchasing this year’s Entertainment Book for $4.99. Now, normally I would’ve already purchased mine for the year but for some reason hadn’t yet. So, naturally I went online and paid for it and a few days later it was…

I love red meat.
There's no two ways about it. It's yummy. It's good for you. It's expensive. It's worth it. Now I'll be the first to tell you that I'm no cook. Nah. Nothing like my younger sis who can just whip up a batch of homemade pesto from scratch. But, I'll be…
