I have to post about my Mexican style quinoa since I basically eat it every week. It is also so easy! I am not the type to make any kind of complex meal. I tend to eat this for lunch. I make up a batch and pop it in the microwave for the next few …
Jumpers can come in all forms some that are in a suspended contraption and some that go over doors. The use of jumpers can be a point of contention among some people. Trust me, being a first time mom and having a husband that works many hours I get it. I totally understand that sometimes you need a minute …
We have been doing a lot of projects around the house this weekend which inspired me to give a little tour of one of my past projects. When I put together C’s nursery it was mainly DIY. Really, the only things in his nursery that aren’t DIY are his crib and the rocker. Some of the …

Even though it is “Spring” it doesn’t feel like it around here. I’m trying not to dwell on the fact so I thought I should do something about it and start my herb garden. I need a little indoor garden to help with thoughts of warmer weather. I have always wanted to have a herb …

Now that all of the Easter candy is out at the stores one of my weaknesses is shining through when it comes to the Reese’s eggs. I love them! I try my best to avoid them at the stores but every once in a while end up with them in my cart. Now that I …
It is absolutely crazy to think but we already picked the weekend that we plan to have C’s birthday this summer. We were planning out our summer calendar and since it is such a short season in Minnesota which means the weekends are limited and busy! It got me thinking about some really useful gifts …
Let me start this off by saying by no means am I musical. I can’t hold a note. I’ve failed at the piano and saxophone. However, my baby LOVES music. Music benefits for babies has been one of the important things I have learned with C. C and I have been going to a …
I’m self admittedly not much of a reader. I always want to get into reading I just never do. Even though I don’t read I didn’t want to neglect C’s exposure to books. Baby’s brains are developing so quickly, the first year of life is critical. Research shows that babies who are read to in the …
I was fortunate to learn a new trick on a very simple way to clean my makeup brushes this weekend from makeup extraordinaire Shawna Rengo.
