I love a simple recipe. Especially one that turns out looking like you spent hours on it, even if it took you less than one. This is that recipe. Honestly, it took me all of 20 minutes to make these from start to finish. I was inspired by the Homemade Pop Tarts recipe in the Weelicious Lunches Cookbook. Mine would be okay for breakfast, but they also make a fairly … Continue Reading →

We love decorating hard boiled eggs for Easter at my house. We usually eat all of them too. (It helps that we don’t dye more than a dozen.) What I don’t love though, is the mess. Dying eggs is only a little messy and fairly easy to clean up. After we dye the eggs and pop them back in the refrigerator though, they sweat. Does anyone else have a sweaty … Continue Reading →

When I was a kid, my favorite Easter candy was Peeps. You know, those neon marshmallow things with extra sugar added to the outside? Now, just thinking about them makes me twitchy. Don’t get me wrong, I still love a piece of Easter candy or three. So do my kids. I think that holidays are a time to indulge. However, if you’re only going to have something on special occasions, … Continue Reading →

My family loves chicken parmesan. Hubby likes to joke that when we are really tired and the pantry is empty, we always make it. Chicken parm is really a lot of work and plenty of mess, but for us it is the perfect comfort food, so the effort seems effortless. The problem comes when trying to feed the kids. Cutting up a big piece of chicken and not spilling red … Continue Reading →

Happy Monday! Kind of. I’d really rather just go back to bed right now. It is chilly outside and looks like it is about to rain. That isn’t really an inspiring way to start of the week though, is it? Last week’s meal plan went as scheduled. The new spaghetti recipe we tried on Monday was delicious and simple. You might notice it is on the menu again this week. … Continue Reading →

I don’t really wear a lot of jewelry, but I do have a lot. I tend to wear about the same five things over and over. Most mornings, I’m kind of in a hurry, so I just grab whatever I see and go. I know I have lots of nice things, buried in my drawer. Somewhere. Finally, I had enough of the mess and decided to get organized. I pulled … Continue Reading →
Upcycled Star Wars suitcase DIY

I love a good thrift store find. Or something cheap at an antique shop that isn’t too nice to modify. For Christmas a few years ago, I made my nephew a Star Wars suitcase from a vintage Samsonite suitcase. It turned out pretty incredible. I mean, I kind of wanted to keep it for myself. I think this project was a great way to give an old piece of luggage … Continue Reading →

Summertime is coming and that means one thing. It’s time to break out the flip flops (and maybe give yourself a pedicure). I don’t know about you, but having a crunchy plastic strap between my toes all day is kind of a bummer. I have bought a lot of flip flops, only to never wear them because they make my feet hurt. Or wear them anyway, but regret it. Today … Continue Reading →

Happy Monday! I love the month of April. Okay, maybe I don’t love the seemingly endless rain, but I love all the other things that happen this time of year. The Main Street Arts Festival is this weekend (and actually starts on Thursday) and it is always fun to see familiar and new artists. Things are popping up in our garden. The kids planted sunflowers and four o’clocks and both … Continue Reading →

The month of April brings something magical to Fort Worth. Festivals pop up every weekend. There is tons to do outdoors in every corner of the city.

Here are my picks for April family fun activities in Fort Worth and … Continue Reading →
