CRAVE IT. COVET. LOVE IT. This Week: Crave Fresh Home-Delivered Dairy

This week I’ve been craving fresh cream, butter, milk and yogurt delivered straight to my door, like the local Bay Area Clover-Stornetta products delivered by Palo Alto native Michal the Milkman. Unless, like my in-laws, you live across the pond and have had the same milkman delivering your bottles of fresh, creamy milk for the last [...]

{Bake} St. Patrick’s Day | Homemade Marshmallows

Jane and Hubby love marshmallows. Not quite sure why, but I was more than happy to indulge them if that meant working on a new sweet treat recipe. Turned out that this was the perfect sensory activity for Jane! Super super super sticky. She helped with the whole process, hand mixing, electric blending, cooking, [...]

{Play} Pom Pom Bombs!

I was packing for my trip in my bedroom with the kids and they broke into my secret stash of Pom Pom Balls. What ensued was pure pom pom bliss in a battle to dodge flying neon fuzzies! For some reason, they formed a team against me. After jumping on the bed, seeking cover behind it, and [...]

I’m what you might call an upcycling hoarder. I can’t throw out anything that might have a second - or third or fourth - life. If it can be repurposed, it will be stored. Somewhere. Regardless whether we have room for it. I’m always glad when I pick through my stash to find something I [...]

{Live} Skinny Cow Shake-Stir Ice Cream Shake Review | Take Two

We went on a hunt for a Skinny Cow Shake-Stir Ice Cream Shake to try for the first time, but couldn’t find one at the nearby Target. So the very next morning, bright and early, we set out for another Target a little farther away. We landed in Target Nirvana. Complete with an elevator, Starbucks, [...]

{Live} Skinny Cow Shake-Stir Ice Cream Shake Review | Take One

Did you hear the one about the girl who tried to squeeze herself into a bridesmaid’s dress four sizes too small? Yep, that’s me. I tried the dress on again recently just to make sure - sucking in and pulling tight - but that didn’t make the 3 inch swath of back fat disappear. I [...]

{Play} Bathtime Shadow Puppet Show

The kids are crazy about their shadows and love locking themselves in a room, turning off the lights, and playing with flashlights to make shadows. To up the ante on the fun factor, we’ve taken this activity to the bath. Materials A flashlight Something to rest the flashlight on Step One Turn off the lights [...]

CRAVE IT. COVET. LOVE IT. This Week: Covet Glamourous Galoshes

*It’s been on hold, but Crave It. Covet. Love It. (TM) is back* This week I’ve been coveting all of the fancy new wellies perfect for puddle jumping this Spring, like these limited edition Hunter Boots designed by MacKenzie-Childs in its Courtly Check pattern: Get it for $195 at MacKenzie-Childs or Neiman Marcus. (Photo via MacKenzie-Childs). CRAVE [...]

{Live} What Do Stay At Home Moms Do All Day

When I was a working mom, I clearly remember asking the question over and over to my stay-at-home-mom friends, “What do you do all day?” As if since they weren’t at work, they had oodles and oodles of time at their disposal. The response was always, “Oh, you know, go to the park, make sure [...]

{Play} Eight Indoor Hopscotch Activities

The game of hopscotch has been around for ages. We played it as kids, our parents played it, our parents’ parents played it. It’s fun. It’s active. And it’s as much a required childhood activity as jumping rope and patty cake. But what to do when the weather’s wet, windy, or too cold? Here are [...]

{Live} Spring Cleaning With Green Works

So, no one told me that one day I would have to do housework. Kind of like Cher in Clueless, who sees learning to parallel park as pointless since “everywhere has valet” (and who I’ve drawn my own parallels with here and here), I thought, why learn - or even do it - when there’s [...]
