Do you smoothie? Well, I’m a self-professed Vitamix-loving, smoothie-making fiend myself, and the above 5 smoothies are in constant rotation at our home. (Disclaimer: I have to add blueberries to the two green ones to appease my dear son who detests anything green.) Check out these 5 recipes, and let me know if I should [...]
For last year’s birthday, I received a Le Creuset 5 1/2-quart French Oven. Except that it wasn’t an actual French oven, but an image of said oven printed on a small piece of paper and hand-delivered by my kids. I very much appreciated this gesture because we were knee deep in the kitchen renovation at [...]
1. Eddie Redmayne, your freckles are beyond. 2. There are many things I love about Creature Comforts, but the Color Inspiration posts are the best. 3. I am feeling this curly, chin-length bob. 4. I must say, I’ve become relatively proficient in reading and breaking down food labels, and this post by A Dinner and [...]
image courtesy of Sidecar Doughnuts Um, how badly do you want one of those doughnuts right now? We finally started our Go Mighty adventure this year, and have checked off two new (to us), cool places. First off, Legoland! (Which, is totally NOT in our neighborhood. I’m cheating already…) You can read about our Lego-filled [...]
You all, I don’t even know how to begin this post. Really truly, SO MUCH TO SAY. Let’s talk about my quick trip to New York last week. It was utterly fantastic. I was invited as a guest of Nutrilite to attend a two-day meeting about health, fitness, and supplements. To be honest, I probably [...]
1. From Your Freezer To Your Family: Slow Cooker Freezer Recipes I don’t even know where to begin with this eCookbook because I love it so much. It’s like the perfect trifecta of slow cooker love, organization, and healthy meals. Now, if one of those three descriptors interests you, put this on your list, however, [...]
1. Above are two favorite pins from last week. One made me nod and one made me laugh, but truer words were never spoken. (Although, I just finished writing a post for Women & Co in an attempt to disprove #2. We’ll see.) 2. Things are really looking good at the house. I have a [...]
As October comes to an end, things are sloooowly starting to cool off here in Orange County. (Little tidbit about Southern California. The warmest part of summer doesn’t start until late August and carries on until November. So while most of you are looking all cozy in your fall sweaters and boots this month, I’m [...]
It all started with the post about cookbooks, which led to purchasing Everyday Food, which led obsessively watching every video by Sarah Carey. Have you watched her videos? Not only is she the Editor-in-Chief of Everyday Food, but she’s fantastic to watch on camera. She makes me want to cook something new everyday. (Plus, I [...]
I love my cookbooks, however most of my collection above involves a decent amount of preparation. I don’t know about you, but the hours of 5-7pm around my home are insane. D is not home yet, the kids are hungry and wanting attention every minute, and I’m a little cuckoo for cocoa puffs myself. It’s [...]
I can’t believe it’s been almost 4 years since I did my last giveaway for La Plates. How can this be? You all need these plates in your lives, I tell ya. So, my (very high) opinion of the company and their products hasn’t changed, but to reiterate, I adore La Plates melamine plates for [...]
1. We had such a fun weekend in Mammoth – plenty of snow, temps in the 50s…we couldn’t have asked for more. (We even got a family self portrait on the gondola. Miraculous, I say!) I’m sorting through the photos this weekend, and hope to have a post up Monday. 2. This week’s Beauty and [...]
1. I just finished up my Pantene commercial behind the scenes series at Hair Thursday, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t leave out a single detail. Part one here. Part two here. Part three here. Part four here. Phew! 2. I’m drooling over my new Joy the Baker cookbook. What do I make first? Banana [...]
At this point in my life, I don’t have much time for magazines. I used to subscribe to tons, but decided to cut back when stacks of unread magazines started to take over my bedside table. For the past year, I have subscribed to two magazines, US Weekly (What? It’s my Friday night mindless reading [...]
1. Everything about the woman in the above photo is perfection to me. Absolute perfection. 2. I completely forgot to announce the winner of the Jewelmint giveaway from a few weeks ago. Sorry, guys! The winner of the JewelMint jewelry is #41, Abi! Congratulations, Abi. I’ll be contacting you shortly. 3. Speaking of giveaways, don’t [...]
