cozy cuteness

by Kimberly on October 30, 2009 in Baby and Kids, Style · 15 comments

I’m wishing I even had the first inkling of knowing how to knit (crochet? do I even know the difference?) after admiring these colorful cozy accessories. Sadly, I’ve never picked up a needle (hook? which is it?)

it’s featured on a little girl, but I would totally wear this hat every day, all winter long.
really, could keeping warm get any cuter than this?

anybody wanna make me one? or all?

count of monte cristo sandwich recipe.

Ok, so not exactly a feast, and not a clever assortment of gory concoctions, but this is the meal we frequently enjoy on Halloween. It’s not exactly super healthy, but it’s wholesome, simple, savory, and as festive as you’d like to make it. I don’t believe in cutting calories on holidays.

Count of Monte Cristo Sandwiches
8 slices good quality white bread
dijon mustard
3 ounces sliced swiss cheese
3 ounces sliced sharp cheddar
6 ounces sliced cooked turkey
6 ounces sliced cooked ham
salt and pepper
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
dash nutmeg or cayenne (optional)
unsalted butter
olive oil

Preheat oven to 350.

Spread each slice of bread with mustard. Top 4 slices of bread with half the cheese, then half the turkey, half the ham, salt & pepper. Repeat a layer of meat, then cheese and top with the remaining slices of bread, mustard side down. Press gently.

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk, season with salt and pepper and nutmeg or cayenne

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add a bit of butter, a bit of oil. Dip and coat each sandwich in egg/milk mixture and lay in the skillet. Cook until just brown, a couple minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until cheese is nice and melty, about 5-10 minutes.
We like to serve with applesauce or a tossed salad winter greens, diced apples, chopped nuts. Dessert probably comes from the trick-or-treat bag. Enjoy!

shade clothing.

Can you believe it’s been five years since Shade Clothing opened its doors? Neither can I. What did I do before all those cap sleeved, extra long tees filled my closet? I’m not sure. They kind of rule the roost around here, I must have at least 15-20 {no lie}.

Here’s a look at what’s hot at Shade right now, and some peeks back at me wearing Shade over the last few years. Remember my Mom 2.0 Summit Wardrobe Crisis? Do you have awesome photos of yourself wearing Shade? They want to hear about it if you do.

This top makes any outfit chic, I’m in love.

Mummy Halloween Costume: + = Just for the record, next time I might splurge and spend a couple of dollars on toilet paper instead of the .79 cent super save you see above. And there’s a fatal flaw in the preschool mummy costume: your kid can’t go to the bathroom while wearing it. The TP [...]

Disney’s The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad

by Kimberly October 28, 2009Home

If you’re looking for a Halloween flick that’s not super scary, we are rather fond of this oldie, narrated by Bing Crosby–one of my favorite old-school crooners. It’s animated, it’s short, and a great introduction to the Legend of Sleepy Hollow as written by Washington Irving. Note: The book is a great read this time [...]

decorate your pumpkin with paper.

by Allison October 27, 2009Family

My kids have been chomping at the bit {pardon the cowboy expression, I’m feeling ranch-ish today} to carve our pumpkins. We don’t usually do it until the night before Halloween because of tradition, and pumpkin shrinkage if we do it any earlier. My solution this year? Magazine pumpkin faces. Cut eyes, ears, mouths, & noses [...]
