I’ve been trying to slow down my life a little bit lately. At least for a couple of days so I can come up for air. No matter how hard I try, things just keep rolling in and piling up. I’m not complaining. I’m happy to be busy, but sometimes I need to get creative…Read More!

Its seems like Camp Blogaway is the gift that keeps on giving. There was a lot of talk about whether or not you should accept free stuff from sponsors at the conference. For me, I see it as a source of inspiration, a thing that I am constantly in search of. Let’s be honest, a…Read More!

A couple of weekends ago I attended Camp Blogaway as you may already know. One of the lovely, and very generous sponsors (these things can’t happen without sponsors) was the Mango board, who provided us with not only a wealth of knowledge on mangoes, but a case of them shipped to our homes as well! 

Only 2 things can make a Monday not totally painful and awful. Number one is Secret Recipe Club which just so happens to be today. Number two is my twin nieces being born which is also happening today!!!! I pretty much can’t ask for a better Monday. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on their…Read More!

I did it! I did it! I survived my month of craziness!! It was a complete whirlwind, but I loved every minute of it. Ok, that’s a lie. There were definitely tough points, but they did not diminish the fun I had in any way. This week in particular was the perfect example of challenging…Read More!

I wrote about the freezer meals I made for my pregnant friend Courtney yesterday. Well today I’m sharing the dessert I’m making for her baby shower on Saturday.

My friend Courtney is 7 months pregnant with her first baby. She told us she was pregnant on Christmas eve. Her husband was deployed to Afghanistan on Christmas Day. Since then she’s found and bought a house in Davis, California, interviewed and accepted a job there, completely remodeled the new house kitchen from afar, and…Read More!

Back to extremely busy life as usual around here. The Hubs is out of town, and I’m bustling around doing my usual work-blog-dogs-fitness juggling act. I’m getting pretty used to this frenetic pace we’ve been moving at for the last year or so, and I’m becoming an expert at healthy, fast meals for one. 

My friends made fun of me for going to a blogging conference where there was no Wi-Fi. Ha ha. I get it. Very ironic yes, but super fun nonetheless. I found the conference to be encouraging, interesting and relaxing.

I had so much fun this weekend at Camp Blogaway! It was so great to get out of town for a while and spend an entire weekend interacting with others who share my interests. Very inspirational. I’ll be back later on with a recap of the events

Holy crap is it really May already? This year is going by way too quickly. Once my friend Val and I talked about why time seems to fly the older you get. She said, “when you are 5, a year is one 5th of your entire life so it seems really long. When you’re 31,…Read More!

Here’s another fun, Cinco de Mayo themed post for your Thursday reading pleasure. The Hubs emailed me this recipe and I thought it was too funny not to try. Honestly, I wish I could spend every day working on cute projects like this one. 

Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, and while I’ll be celebrating with a bunch of other bloggers at a camp out by Big Bear, perhaps the rest of you are looking for something to make at home. 

So last week when I was baking up a storm for the bake sale (not to mention double batches of everything to send to a friend who is deployed in Afghanistan) The Hubs says to me, “We’re having a work party on Friday. Since you’re at it, can you make some dessert for the party?”
