Tackling domestic life...one day at a time!
Remember when I told you all I was going to a preview event of What to Expect when You're Expecting the movie? I met up at the theater earlier this week with a bunch of my blogging friends and readers and we had a blast checking out the movie before everyone else! That there is my good friend … [Continue reading...]
This delicious dessert made with COOL WHIP Whipped Topping is an old family favorite that we call "COOL WHIP cheesecake." My grandmother's been making it since before I can remember. She makes a version with homemade Nilla wafer crust, but I take the even easier route with storebought graham cracker crust. Cream cheese, COOL WHIP and powdered sugar make up the filling, and a canned blueberry pie filling makes a sweet, easy topping for a cheesecake that "whips up" in about five minutes. COOL … [Continue reading...]
The blogosphere is all abuzz about a couple of big upcoming blog conferences, including BlogHer in New York in August. I'm so excited to go and see a ton of friendly faces there! To help everyone market their blogs one of my favorite online printing companies, PrintRunner, is giving away 250 print business cards to one of my readers! Having some professionally-printed business cards on hand will help you leave a lasting impression. They’re printed on the front and back on 14pt cardstock … [Continue reading...]
How I came to make a homemade ice cream out of a creamer is sort of an interesting story. My friends all rave about this Coffee-Mate Natural Bliss creamer so I decided to pick some up at Walmart. I was admiring the natural creamer's four ingredients - nonfat milk, heavy cream, sugar and natural flavors - when it occurred to me that these are the exact ingredients I use in my homemade ice cream! I do add eggs to my homemade ice cream to keep it stiff, but I bet this stuff would make a delicious … [Continue reading...]
I shared with you all awhile ago how we were having a little trouble introducing the sippy cup. We went through at least half a dozen sippy cups and had come to something of a resolution, but it was messy. Really messy. I took a small beginner sippy cup with a flexible spout, removed the valve and poked a bunch of extra holes in the top so that the milk would come out faster. Some Boy really seemed to take issue with having to work for his liquid, so this made it easier for him and he tolerated … [Continue reading...]
Wow, how is it already May? We have some major summer grilling holidays coming up! Mother's Day is this weekend and then Memorial Day on the 28th (the "unofficial" start of the summer grilling holidays), then of course all the grad parties, Father's Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day...we also have a couple family birthdays and other random excuses to party throughout the summer months. We decided to pick up a new grill and some summer grilling gear at Kmart to get ready for all these party … [Continue reading...]
Some Boy just celebrated his first birthday and it was a HUGE hit! We went with a rubber ducky birthday theme, which meant little yellow ducky decorations and favors everywhere. Minted generally sponsored the invites, and we actually wound up altering the wording on some ducky baby shower invitations for the occasion. I loved the little duck images, and quite a few guests went with the theme and actually brought rubber ducky inspired birthday presents! Doc Milo sent over a … [Continue reading...]
I've had the chance to meet with several fashion stylists throughout my life, but most of their helpful tips got thrown out the window after Some Boy was born. Accessories? Please. Earrings and necklaces have become chew toys at best and choking hazards at worst. I can no longer wear pretty silks and sheer tops as they inevitably get baby "stuff" on them and I never pay full price for clothes anymore because my budget is relegated to toys and baby food. I've been in desperate need of someone to … [Continue reading...]
