Hi there!!
Are you ladies ready for some wonderful winter meals!!! We met last week for a soup and salad night! It was the perfect theme for this wonderful weather! We had the back door open, fresh baked bread (from...
Today we begin our Fall Fun Series! All week we will be posting about things related to and celebrating the changing season; arts & crafts, recipes, home decor, etc! To kick it off, we thought we'd share a few...
We live in an internet-centered world. So much of what we learn comes from the cyber world, and frankly, I don't know what I would do without it. When I was a kid, I had to go to the...
So, I’m running up against a parenting issue that has me kind of stumped at the moment… as has happened before, and I’m sure will happen MANY times again. It’s the issue of teaching kids about personal safety, “stranger...
Well, what a fun night last night we had at our first Mom's Night Out! It was so good to meet many of you, and to catch up with some of you I haven't seen in awhile.
We just wanted...
Alright, so fall is technically here, although you could have fooled me, Phoenix. I'm eagerly waiting some crisp air and changing of the leaves so I can justify all my baking, drink warm, yummy drinks, and wear my boots....
Tears well in my eyes as I glance into your room and find you asleep, half on & half off your bed, in your usual nap position. It all began with an hour and 40 minutes of “trying” to...
Hi there! I am thrilled to invite you all along on our newest journey called the WVCC! That's right, for those of you who are familiar with the Scottsdale Cooking Club welcome to the West Valley one! As soon...
My husband and I have a group of really close friends that we have had since before we we're married. In that group, we are the only ones who have kids. We get together with them regularly and most...
Have you ever belonged to a dinner or cooking club? There are so many variations to this idea. My favorite experience was with some friends in Seattle. There were several couples that got together every month for what we...
I get more than a little self conscious when I think too hard about my situation: I write for a mom blog, yet I'm not the person who spends most of the day with my kids. I change maybe...
Over the summer I started making these smoothies when I noticed my son started eating everything but his veggies. I want to make sure he eats well, and I while I will always offer veggies with meals, I also...
Last month my daughter began going to preschool two mornings a week, and she loves it. I love it too- I love the fact that she’s having such a great time playing and interacting, and I’m also loving the...

My husband and I bought this cute little cabinet from Goodwill last fall when we were going to move. We did have a picture of it, but we can't find it! So, you'll have to imagine the before. It...

Today is Labor Day. Labor day became a nationally recognized holiday in 1894. It is a day that strives to honor and pay tribute to the achievements of American workers. I remember loving Labor Day when I was working...

Peas. Love. Yumminess. These are the three defining principals behind...
(Here I am 39 weeks pregnant with my daughter, born in 2009.)
A very wise man once said, "A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come, but as soon as she has given birth...
When I was young, I was the world's worst eater. Seriously. Think having a Pepsi a few times a day (being 6 years old!), endless bags of chips, candy, and one too many Happy Meals! After so many years...
I always enjoy when my children's grandparents, whether it be my parents or my in-laws, come into town for a visit. In our family, visits from grandparents include chatting and catching up of course, but also a chance for...
Life tends to have its ups and downs. Just when you think everything is great, you may be thrown a curve ball. My oldest is 5 and he has just entered his first year of elementary school. He tends...
I write this today, feeling like no longer a mother of an infant, but a full fledged toddler. It changed in an instant it seems, and now I am desperate for tips, tricks, book recommendations. I feel like I...
