It’s isn’t hard to find a sweet treat for kids to eat at Halloween time. So when the new Betty Crocker Halloween Cookbook arrived, I skipped over the desserts and headed straight to the “Bewitching Bites” and “Mystifying Main Dishes,” as the book calls them. My kids are big on presentation, so I thought some [...]
Summer is in full swing, and I have to admit there are times when I just have no idea what to do with my kids on these long, hot days! The great thing is that my girls are pretty good at finding ways to keep themselves entertained. From splashing around in the sprinkler, to having [...]
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, SheKnows.com published a super festive piñata cookie recipe that went seriously viral. I love them! The burro-shaped sugar cookies are adorable, complete with hollow centers that you can fill with your favorite candies, like M&Ms. Kids can break them open and find a yummy surprise, just like a real [...]
Kittens make everything better. And so do firemen… who can make a good margarita. Here’s a simple recipe (with a twist!) for a margarita using Sauza Blue tequila. If you were too distracted to get the recipe from the video (I don’t blame you! Did you catch the part where he took his shirt off?!), [...]
One of the reasons I love spring is because we love entertaining friends and family outside, and the weather is just perfect for it! In the winter we tend to hibernate, so it’s about time to come out of the ‘cave’. While my parties are fairly laid back and informal affairs, I do like to [...]
The red carpet’s rolled out, and the countdown for the 84th Academy Awards is on! To help fans mark Hollywood’s biggest night with a celebration of their own, Oscar.com has launched its official party blog, www.oscar.com/partyblog, with everything needed to throw the perfect Oscar Sunday viewing party. While I’m not doing anything special this time around, [...]
Pay us a visit, and you’ll likely end up at the kitchen table “playing Play-Doh” with Maura. It amazes me how it can entertain her for hours on end. Not only does it delight her for the longest time, but it’s relaxing. Nap time may no longer exist, but I know I’ll get a good [...]
Once upon a time there were two little girls who dreamed of being Barbie princesses. While they may have had the beautiful gowns, tiaras, and play jewelry, and happily waltzed around their castle playhouse, they didn’t always have the manners expected from a princess, however! A modern-day princess must be well-mannered, poised, and kind. Last week, [...]
I adore black olives. I eat them on pizza. In salads. In sandwiches. Mixed with hummus. Tossed with pasta. By themselves, straight out of the can. Did you know that California’s olive growers produce more than 95% of the black ripe olives grown in the U.S.? From breakfast to dinner, January to December, and from [...]
Are you hosting an Oscar party next weekend? I haven’t decided if I will or not. I had friends over to watch the Globes, but this Sunday is a busy day for me and I don’t want to stress over cleaning the house and all that. Plus, I kind of like watching the show live, [...]
