Food, Family, and Lifestyle
In less than one week, both of my kids go to school. Two years ago I had a hard time when my daughter started Kindergarten and this year will be even tougher for me. Why? My youngest is starting Kindergarten. Now don’t get me wrong: I am sure while the kids are at school, I…
If you have hung out here at all, you know I am all about making healthier choices but having fun is essential too. I will admit that I do let the kids have chocolate milk here and there or even a vanilla milk (no HFCS etc. though) Lately, the talk around the water cooler has…
Last winter, while working for a website, I featured a lovely recipe by a new to me food blog called ‘Perry’s Plate. I wrote the blogger owner Natalie and was all like ‘Hey lady, your cool and I like your photos so can I post them on this other site I work for?’ She said ‘Kickin’ (or…

The day began me dropping the kiddos at their last day of Art camp. It was their only camp this summer and well worth the money. I then boarded the Amtrak to Philly, after a short smooching session with my hubby, to attend the The Healthy Living Summit 2011. For the ride, I grabbed an Iced Latte…
Two years ago I attended my first Blogher conference in Chicago. Imagine how amazed I was to find myself invited to a dinner with with some amazing food bloggers. The group included Elise, Ree, Lydia and Kathy. Plus, like, thirty more talented ladies! Kathy was so smiley and warm and I just knew she would be smiling at you…
