I don’t know about you, but I have good intentions of living well. You know, drinking those 8 glasses of water a day, getting my fruits and vegetables, vitamins and making sure I get enough exercise. Let’s be completely honest here, does anyone REALLY do all of those things, every day, without fail? Probably not, or if they do, they are some kind of super human. Or something. I need pokes, … [Read more...]
Do you have a Boys & Girls Club in your neighborhood? Do you know what they are about? Did you know it's about ALL kids, not just low income, special needs or some other select group? In fact, for more than 100 years, Boys & Girls Club of America (BGCA) has provided kids with a safe haven and fun, highly engaging activities to help them develop the creativity and confidence necessary to … [Read more...]
Some of you may not know I grew up in a sleepy (except during the summer) beach town. The kind of town where they turned off the traffic lights in the winter. A small barrier island off the coast of Maryland called Ocean City. I loved being surrounded by the briny smell of the sea growing up. I spent lots of summer days on boats on the Chesapeake Bay and when I moved away (inland) to college, I … [Read more...]
My mom was in town this week visiting, and I was asking her about some of the antique furniture I have, and were it came from. Specifically, an oak dresser I have in my bedroom. We both can't remember WHEN I got it, but we agree we think I was 9 or 10. She does remember WHERE she got it though. There used to be a little antique store right before you enter Berlin on Route 50 in Maryland. I know, I … [Read more...]
I've been dying Easter Eggs with Paas tablets and Heinz Vinegar for as long as I remember. We won't get into how long that is, but it's long enough. :) Now that my kids, well, at least Sebby, are old enough to "get it" we're starting up the tradition again. The same faithful tablets, the little wire dippers that you bend "just right" and of course, the vinegar. It's an evening of crayons, … [Read more...]
I used a filtered water pitcher for years, but it was never really worth the hassle. It didn't really change the taste of the water and it was a pain to use. So I stopped. Which also means I stopped drinking enough water. I recently had a chance to try a ZeroWater pitcher. When I first read about the ZeroWater pitcher I thought it was some sort of voodoo science. Removing ions from water? … [Read more...]
Quincy was born on June 28, 2010. She was almost 8 weeks early. My friend Julie, who owns the shop "It's a Preemie Thing" gave me this cool little tag to hang on Quincy's carseat or stroller. It said "Please wash your hands before touching mine." It was unbelievable the amount of people who would read the sign, comment on what a good idea it was and then REACH IN TO TOUCH QUINCY. … [Read more...]
It sounds crazy right? Eating Chef Boyardee as adults? I remember eating Chef Boyardee as a little kid, at friends and grandparents houses. It's a childhood staple almost. Chef Boyardee has several recipes to take your childhood nostalgia and make them all grown up. We got together with some family friends for a dinner a la Chef Boyardee over the weekend. To help with our little party, … [Read more...]
