Because I LOVE making lists, I jumped at the chance to create a summer bucket list. Unlike my usual new years resolution lists, this should all be completely attainable – and low-cost – after all, I’m a gal on a tight budget. Here are 50 things I hope to do for myself and with my […]
VlogTalk: Easy Drink for Summer
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 […]

Pretty soon there was a group of gals including […]

Gluten-Free Baked Goods: Ethel’s Edibles
I was sharing Friday’s post about Michigan snacks on Twitter like a good little social media nerd, when I got an uber-delish proposition to try a new Michigan snack – Ethel’s Edibles. 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 […]
