It's that time of year again, people...the time when I whip out the beer to create yummy recipes and pretend that it is all for St. Patrick's Day. Yeah, it's not. What can I say, I love the flavor that beer adds to all kinds of dishes! And since beer and chocolate should be paired together at all opportunities (PS: my kids thought I was crazy when I hummed the Wedding March song while making … [Read more...]

Pancake BitesDown here in the south, the kids are enjoying a nice long break from school. Not only was it a three day weekend due to President's Day, but we are now smack in the middle of our second "snow day." I don't think I will ever get used to the fear of the ice and the snow, having grown up with it my whole life, but sometimes it is nice when the whole world seems to come to a standstill … [Read more...]

I am so, so sorry. I'm sorry that it is smack dab in the middle of Girl Scout cookie season and I am throwing this in your face. Because I know the temptation that comes along with those sweet smiles from the impossibly cute Girl Scout sales people. It is so hard to resist purchasing a box or ten and you get the added bonus of feeling as though you helped your community at the same time as … [Read more...]

I don't know about you, but come winter I basically live in boots. Not only do they keep my feet toasty warm, but they keep water and snow out and they look great with jeans and leggings. I have one pair in particular that I am almost never without. I adore them and because I wear them so often they have gotten a bit of a "distressed" look to them. And to be honest, I like that look, but … [Read more...]

Sometimes you just need to break out a nostalgic favorite treat and pig out. And every now and then you need to take that treat and turn it up to 11, bringing it to a whole new level of awesome.

While pulling the ingredients out of the pantry my eye was drawn to a package of Oreos that was hiding behind the … [Read more...]
Brown Sugar Almond Lip Scrub

As winter seems to continue to drag on, my skin and lips continue to dry out. And it's not just me, my house is full of little people who seem to have a really hard time not licking their lips and drying them further. But my breaking point came when my oldest daughter's lips started to bleed because they were so chapped. I was kind of at a loss since she refuses to use chap sticks that aren't a … [Read more...]
