Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Al Dente Pasta *Giv...
Published on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Christie! We eat pasta at least once or twice a week. I know it sounds rather boring, but there are so many different ways to create a pasta dish that we never get tired of it (and my son just loves it!). And my husband, being the culinary expert that he is, is always looking for variations and twists on new dishes. ... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 by caryn I know what you're thinking....mmmm....chocolate! Well...this is no ordinary chocolate for consumption. nuNAAT Chocolate Special is a luxurious line of products for the hair. I have thick, curly hair that tends to get wild when I don't have product in it. When you combine that with years of highlighting, blow drying, and straightening, it doesn't make for the ...

Now We Can All Decorate Like Betty Crocker...
Published on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 by caryn Tomorrow, my husband and I will spend most of the day cooking and baking in preparation for Thanksgiving. I should probably clarify. I will be baking and he will be cooking. The holidays are special for so many different reasons...reasons best left for another post. But food definitely plays an important part. I'll be honest...I prefer to make everything at ... Read More » -

There were lights and the biggest Christmas tree I've ever seen. We saw saw Santa and his reindeer. We drank hot chocolate and ate cookies. And it even snowed! It was a magical day at Disneyland. And while every day is sheer magic at the Happiest Plac... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Removable Plate Gri...
Published on Monday, November 23, 2009 by caryn My husband and I try very hard not to eat out. With a healthy, gourmet cookbook, fresh ingredients, and the right cooking appliances, we can have a healthier meal that very often tastes better than that found in chain restaurants. That is why I believe it's important to invest in the right type of kitchen appliances. As a mom, I want to be able to offer my child... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Cuisinart Rice Plus ...
Published on Monday, November 23, 2009 by caryn With the holidays right around the corner, you'll find me donning an apron just like Martha Stewart (don't laugh!). In all honesty, if I had a kitchen appliance for every type of meal we ate, I'd be inclined to be in the kitchen at every meal. Most of the time it's the preparation that deters me from cooking. Rice is a staple in our household (but it must be br... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Hickory Farms
Published on Monday, November 23, 2009 by caryn Certain periods and seasons of life evoke childhood memories. Christmas is one such season. I remember how much I enjoyed shopping with my mom. Every year we'd get up before dark (hehe) and go Christmas shopping on Black Friday. The crowds, the early morning coffee (once I got old enough), the excitement of seeing holiday decor all over the mall...I'll cherish... Read More » -

Nostalgic
Published on Sunday, November 22, 2009 by caryn Today we spent much of the day preparing for our little girl's arrival. Washing blankets, going through my son's old clothes... I came across my son's first pacifier...and the outfit we bought for his dedication...and the overalls my husband wore as a baby (given to us by my mother-in-law). It was a day filled with mixed emotions. My son is almost 2 1/2. How... Read More » -

Published on Sunday, November 22, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Shannon! Yesterday we spent the day at Disneyland and by 5:00 pm I was freezing (it was in the 50's). It didn't help that I had Havianas and a light sweater on. It's Southern California right? So why in the world am I talking about sunscreen as a gift idea when it's so obviously winter? Because it's actually a great ... Read More » -

Published on Sunday, November 22, 2009 by caryn Last week I told you about an incredible opportunity I had to learn more about Ronald McDonald House Charities. McDonald's obviously provides a great deal of support (in every way imaginable) to the RMHC. However, much in the way of resources is necessary for RMHC to provide the support they do to families and their children. RMHC relies on donors and volunteers... Read More » -

It's difficult to continue to come up with new things to do with children and I like to limit the amount of TV time in our hou... Read More » -
