I’m the kind of person that can eat ice cream any time of the year. Even if it’s snowing if somebody asks me if I want ice cream the answer will be yes. So with the sweltering heat that has set in way too early around here, I’m talking 100 degrees the rest of the
After 8 days in England and Ireland reality.is.harsh. No time to nurse that jet lag when there are kids to run after and the husband is still in jolly old England. But the break was so unbelievably nice and refreshing. I got to do what I wanted, eat what I wanted (and not share) and

Grilling is one of my very favorite parts of summer. Marinating slabs of meat, throwing them on the grilling and eating a healthy meal in a matter of minutes is totally my jam on relaxing summer days. It couldn’t get much easier and doesn’t dirty up the kitchen. Because when there’s no school and the
Tomorrow is the last day of school. I have a bunch of plans to be the fun mom who does all the things. We’ll see how that goes. Things like science experiments, art projects, children’s museum visits, play dates, dumping them at the grandparents. Ooops, I let that last one slip. Baking cookies is
I decided to go Eastern European this month and attempt something I’ve always wanted to try making at home, pierogi. I’ve only ever had the frozen variety so I was super excited to see how delicious a homemade version would taste. The difference is incredible, as I had predicted, and I can’t wait to make them
