Do you have a mini Harry Potter fan in your household? Are you one yourself? This house is full of fans young and old(er). When our oldest started to become a superfan it was one of the highlights of my life. As her birthday approached I knew it had to be Harry Potter themed. Thing [...]
Valentine’s Day approaches. People’s feelings about this holiday show both love and loathing. You either love it or hate it. Either way, if you have a child in school, chances are they are having a Valentine’s Day party. For that event, they will need some sweet wishes to pass out to all their friends and classmates. [...]
Have you ever heard the saying wash your hands and say your prayers because Jesus and germs are everywhere? I love that because it is so true. And, truth be told, the same goes for dust. It is everywhere and no one wants it there. I am grateful to live in a climate with much [...]

Super Simple Noodle Soup was born in a week of pure sickness in this house. Nothing will make you stop and Just Be Slower like a house full of sick family members. Thank goodness I was on the better side of sick than everyone else or nothing would have been cooked or cleaned for days. [...]

Now though I’ve been more in cupcake-making-mode and am sharing my Cupcake Ideas Gallery with all of you. I do not boast being professional by any means, but [...]
The best Christmas gift for kids isn’t difficult to figure out, though most of us overlook it. Put down the Black Friday ads for this one. Yes, really. If you don’t want to take my word for it, just ask Cornell University’s Dr. Gilovich who studied and found money spent on an experience leaves longer [...]
