Spring Break kind of snuck up on me. That’s what happens when you go on vacation the week before Spring Break; you end up all sorts of confused when it’s really time for vacation. C is home with me, dying of boredom and looking to do some crafts, so I looked to my favorite craft [...]

great shoes for kids.

by Allison April 14, 2009Baby and Kids

Once I had C I finally understood why legions of moms complained about how difficult it is to find suitable, cute, sturdy shoes that don’t have some kind of truck or superhero emblazoned across the side.

plan for a weekly dinner menu.

by Alma April 13, 2009Home

Confession: Mike and I got into a very bad habit of eating out a lot. It started when we were dating. We were together almost every evening, and come on! You’re dating! You’re supposed to go out to eat. Everyone knows that. It continued after we got married because I was working an hour away [...]

homemade scone recipe from the barefoot contessa.

by Kimberly April 8, 2009Home

Mmmmm. Hot scones. Buttered. Topped with strawberry jam.  I’m talking traditional English scones, as opposed to fried dough sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar which is also delicious but technically not a scone. Here’s a lovely recipe that is easily varied. I’ve yet to try an Ina Garten/Barefoot Contessa recipe that isn’t fantastic. I don’t bake [...]
