Photo taken 12/4/11 during a date night at FunFusion in NY. I recently picked up my very first bottle of Mod Podge and I am hooked. For my very first project I decided to attempt to decorate some frames for Valentine’s Day. I honestly had no idea what I was doing, but I love how they turned out! This project is perfect for sprucing up old frames. I didn’t have any frames in need of an immediate makeover so I picked some up at Walmart for 98 cents. I was hoping to find white frames, but I was unable to [...]

Today’s prompt for #febphotoaday is “sun”. I have no words to go along with the photo. I am just typing this little bit so the homepage of my blog doesn’t look funky.

I love supporting companies that are making a difference in the world! Starfish Project restores hope to exploited women of Asia by providing them with job opportunities (and many other things, such as counseling, shelter, and vocational training) and the ability to rise above where they have come from. You can read more about Starfish [...]

I went back and forth between wanting to take a picture of my sewing box full of loose buttons or Jayden’s nose. I ended up taking a picture of an Xbox controller. Heh.

The best way to teach a child is to make learning fun. When young children learn from a very early age that expanding their knowledge is an enjoyable experience it sets them up for life. Once a person has a love for learning it will stay with them indefinitely. The trick is to use a…

As parents of three young kids, Keith and I have struggled to find a good way to implement a chore system. I bought this massive book, complete with “chore packs”. The kids loved it, for a couple of days. But the chore packs and cards were easily lost, and there wasn’t a real sense of [...]

I was supposed to be making meatballs and homemade mashed potatoes (debated in the paleo community) for dinner, but I didn’t feel like it. It’s my fault. I had pancakes for breakfast and crashed all day. They were delicious, but within a couple of bites I couldn’t even keep my head up. I’m waiting on some almonds so that I can make almond flour pancakes. My body definitely cannot tolerate white flour (a paleo no no, but I was craving). There’s about a cup of it left, once it’s gone, it’s gone. On a related note, I made Dairy-Free Strawberry [...]

For many growing families there comes a point when space is at a premium and it’s time to move to a new home. Sometimes the tipping point comes with the addition of a second, third, or even a fourth child. Other times it simply arrives when your children get too old to live together in…

At the start of the new year I decided to start living a more paleo/primal lifestyle. I figured it would give me the energy boost and clarity that I so desperately need and I’d be setting a good example for Jayden, who has a ton of food allergies/sensitives. It’s been a challenge giving up some [...]
