Make Meals More Fun With The Lunch Punch!
I love this product! Created by an Australian mother of three, The Lunch Punch cuts off crust and turns bread, sandwiches, etc. into fun edible shapes.

Read It: The Secret Life of Bees
The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd is a few years old (written in 2003), but I just read it for the first time and I was blown away. It’s the kind of book-reading experience where you want to keep sneaking away to devour just another few pages. This novel was our latest book […] Read more…

Perfect Parties: Testosterone Edition
I admit it: with two girls, my parties are a little skewed toward the feminine. The party ideas I’m stealing borrowing from my friend (also mom to two daughters) may seem a bit girly as well. I promise that some of her future themes will be adaptable for boys, but until then, my friend Trina thought I should share a few tidbits from […] Read more…
