Mmmm…nothing says summer like a cool cocktail – especially when you’re not pregnant (yet!). Watch my video below to learn how to make an easy drink I think I invented and dubbed the Marilyn Monroe. Let’s just say it’s an adult spin on a kid classic. This video is intended for those 21+. ((And don’t […]
Interview With A Neighbor: A Guide to Baby #2
Yesterday I discussed my recent lapse of baby amnesia. Yes, I love babies. But having two of them, under my care until they’re at least 18? SCARY. It already takes me an additional hour to go anywhere with Little K. What would two babes do to my planning? To qualm my fears, I decided to […]
My Hood: The Wienermobile’s Coming To Detroit
One of my favorite things about Twitter: sometimes, if you’re vocal, a big company will listen to you. About a month ago, Dominique over at Midwest Guest, started a Twitter conversation about the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile, citing a great post she wrote awhile back about it.

As I mentioned in the post, I love supporting all things local, so of course I took owner Jill Bommarito up on her […]
Ultimate Tex Mex Dip
Every kid has that recipe that they go gaga over. Tex Mex dip was my sweet spot growing up. My mom always stocked our cupboards with healthy, boring stuff and I always had the healthiest lunch at the table in elementary school. This is the worst fate ever to a 10 year old because nobody […]
Northern Michigan: My Happy Place
My happy place is in Northern Michigan. Where water can be found everywhere, and looks beautiful and peaceful, despite cold weather. And people have time for breakfast at one-of-a-kind places where the locals greet you with kindness. (But if you don’t finish your breakfast, you have to wear a dog hat until you pay your bill…and […]
