by Jessica Kim posted in Life & Home BREAKFAST!  It’s the most important meal of the day for our kids because they need to be alert and focused to absorb everything they learn throughout the day.  But, I have been in a RUT with serving the same scrambled eggs and PB&J toast.  I mean, who [...]

by Lindsay Weiss posted in Life & Home I made these brown butter snickerdoodles last year and loved, loved, loved the flavor of them but didn’t love that they came out so thin. I tried all my remedies for flat cookie syndrome, but they never quite thickened up like a snickerdoodle should. Since last month’s [...]

by Lindsay Weiss posted in Life & Home We are in the middle of a Dr. Seuss-themed Teacher Appreciation week at our school. Besides the obvious green eggs and ham, I needed to think of some theme appropriate food for our big luncheon. Two of our little friends dressed up as Thing 1 and Thing [...]

by Joyce Slaton posted in Life & Home Garlic bread, it is delicious! I can hardly ever justify making it with spaghetti, because what are you going to eat, a big pile of noodle bread and on the side, more bread? But I like it for morning toast, because garlic, she tastes good. Over the [...]

by Rebecca Michals posted in Mom Stories A few weeks ago all the moms I know were sharing a post about how holidays have gotten out of control. We were all mentally high-fiving the blogger and ticking off all the holidays which have gotten way way too elaborate. Valentine’s Day isn’t just a little paper-thin [...]

by Lindsay Weiss posted in Life & Home Talk about bang for your buck…this is the easiest Easter treat I’ve ever made, but it’s one of the cutest. And the kiddos can totally help. These are made almost like rice krispie treats, except using chow mein noodles instead of rice cereal. You use your hands [...]

by Denise Cortes posted in Life & Home I’m terrible when it comes to Easter crafts. I just can’t get into all the bunnies, baskets, peeps and stuff. It’s cute, but not for me. I do, however, love all of the cool and creative things people do with Easter eggs. Whether you are dying them, [...]
