A New Patriotic Recipe! Not.
My fellow Americans, I was going to share a new recipe with you today, but I just couldn’t get on board with it. Didn’t have the gumption. There is something strange about this week- I am feeling red, white and blah. I am blaming it on the 4th landing on a Wednesday this year, our […]
Easter Egg Treat Ideas and Traveling with Toddlers

Elliott’s Lucky Day: A Green-Themed 2nd Birthday Party
To me, planning kids’ birthday parties is one of the fun parts of parenting. I’ve always loved birthdays, but it is extra special to celebrate the little growing lives of your children.

Irish Potato Candies
Forget the corned beef and cabbage. This is how to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. I’m assuming that if you’re not from Philly or Central PA, you’ve probably never heard of Irish Potatoes.

My Thanksgiving 2011 Menu
Yikes! It’s already Thanksgiving week. Anyone else feeling like it just popped up out of nowhere? I got my grocery shopping out of the way today (that’s probably late for some people, but I like to have things fresh, including the bird) and somehow missed the crowds. Now all I have to do is plan […]
