Breyer’s…Mmmm Good and a #Giveaway
I can’t hide ice cream from the children. Their little noses sniff out the ice cream. I could hang out near the garage fridge nibbling on ice cream, but sooner or later a kid pops his/her head out to ask what I am doing out there. I could buy the ice cream that I like... »
A New Breakfast Staple
I’m not a short order cook…especially not at breakfast time. My husband is a breakfast lover. I prefer to go out for brunch. As a way to feed my family a healthy breakfast, I rely on several staples: bagels and cream cheese, pancakes, and waffles. Waffles are huge hit with everyone in the family. Waffles... »
Dinnertime Barilla Style
I was sent a Barilla gift bag complete with an insulated tote, measuring spoon, pasta holder, wooden spoon, assorted pasta, coupons and recipes from Mario Batali. This wasn’t my first encounter with Barilla. I met the Barilla reps at Mom 2.0 in Houston. Barilla chefs — not Mario Batali —... »
Noodles & Company: Healthy Eating Option for Our Family (A Review)
You know how you can drive past a restaurant time and again, but not try it? I do this all the time. Our family is not adventurous when it comes to dining out. We stick to places we know. I have driven past Noodles & Company in Columbia, Maryland, many times. I assumed it was... »
Uncle Ben’s To the Rescue #UncleBens
I’m not a gourmet cook. I’m not a made-from-scratch cook. I simply cook meals for my family each and every night. I don’t love to cook. I do love cooking shows, but I never follow through on any of the recipes because I don’t like to cook. In my early married days my husband was... »
Sonicare…Now for Kids
My daughter started the Sonicare trend in our house. She got braces. We wanted to give her the best shot at remaining cavity free after braces. Can you imagine how maddening it would be to put money (dental insurance pays for only part of the cost of braces) and time (many, many trips back... »
U Taste, We Donate Through Pringles Multigrain
As an English person at an American college, I was continually bombarded by unfamiliar food. Pop Tarts. Bagels. Meatloaf. Pringles. My first taste of Pringles was a little like biting in to a wafer. I was used to English crisps that are heavy and greasy. Pringles were anything but greasy. Pringles... »
Peapod by Giant: A Review and Code for My Readers!
Two weeks ago I took a tour through the local Peapod by Giant warehouse with a group of local mom bloggers. I have long wanted to ditch the weekly grocery shop. Grocery shopping is time consuming. As I shop the aisles, I am unable to resist certain items…read: pre-packaged food items. I see the... »
Coach Dad Might Have a New Drink of Choice: Steaz
My husband is a creature of habit. He HATES change. Coach Dad is a mess when I do my periodic furniture rearranging. If a chair is out of alignment, he will mention the change over and over again. And don’t even think about moving the colander from one cupboard to another. The fallout! He... »
CEO of my Family
I spend a considerable amount of time with my family. This makes sense, right? I am a mom. I manage a household of people. I organize the people in the household. I engineer it so that the people in my household get to where they need to be, participate in what they need to... »
