Cocktail Friday — Milkshake Round Up!!

Shamrock-Shake-1

It's Friday!!   Since I'm doing non alcoholic drinks on my Fridays, I decided to share a round up of fun milkshake ideas.  Partly because I'm moving, so all my smoothie and milkshake making stuff is packed in a box, and partly because ice cream is main source of dairy for this growing baby of mine.   Here are my favorites … [Read more...]

Meal Plan 5/14 – 5/18

Happy Monday!!   Sadly, Mother's Day is over.  The family is no longer waiting on me hand and foot, and they expect food on the table as usual.   Why does it have to be Mother's DAY??  Why not Mother's WEEK?   That totally makes more sense.   Monday:  Tuna California Club Sandwiches    It's … [Read more...]

Book Review ~ Divergent

divergent

Since seeing The Hunger Games movie twice, and rereading the book a couple of times, I fell into a very predictable sadness.   It was much comparable to the great Harry Potter Depression of 2011, but on a bit of a smaller scale since there are still a couple of movies to look forward to.  Even if I WILL be well into my mid thirties by … [Read more...]

Today's post is from a blogger that I had the pleasure of spending time with in real life!!  We met at the Blissdom conference in Nashville, and had a ton of fun stuffing our faces with baked goods, eating at an awesome Mexican restaurant, and...okay, so I guess we mostly ate a lot together.  In her defense, she was very pregnant.  In my … [Read more...]

The Real Housewives of New Jersey — Episode 2

NUP_143462_0792.jpg

Episode 2 of RHONJ opened with Jaqueline's daughter Ashlee whining as she packed for Vegas.  Not really my favorite way of opening up an episode, not to mention that the LAST thing Ashlee needs is more attention.   Apparently being sent to Vegas is a real serious punishment, because Ashlee and her new face wasn't happy at all.  … [Read more...]

Meal Plan 4/30 – 5/4

food

Happy Monday, everyone!!   As always, humans will begin assembling in my kitchen at around 6 pm tonight, expecting there to be some type of food prepared.   Frankly, I think something is wrong with them, because I'd be happy with a Pop Tart and a Diet Coke.  But they insist on hot food that will sustain them and provide … [Read more...]

Hair Products — What I Use and Love

hair main

I am kind of a freak about hair products.   Mostly because I'm fully convinced that the right combination of products will give me the hair I've always dreamed of -- shiny, strong, and nonfrizzy.  Every new product is potentially magic in a bottle, and I definitely don't want to miss out on THE ONE.   The combination of … [Read more...]
