Published on Friday, February 8, 2013 by Caryn Bailey I don't need many excuses to bake, and given that we're just one week away from Valentine's Day, I decided that we were in need of a serious chocolate fix! Cookie and cupcakes seem to be the tradition during this time of year, but I wanted to do something different...something unique...something that incorporated a variety of the traditional sweets and treats you se...

Published on Friday, February 8, 2013 by Caryn Bailey Music is the universal language of mankind. ― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Music has a way of touching us deeply...uniting us in ways words cannot. When I first heard the title song We Both Know from Relativity Media's soon-to-be released Romantic Thriller Safe Haven, I couldn't help but think back to my own relationships...both past and present.

Published on Wednesday, February 6, 2013 by Caryn Bailey Over the weekend, my daughter, my mother, and I arranged a special day together. At three, my daughter already has an opinion about everything, including her attire. As I was preparing her outfit for the day, I asked her which dress she'd like to wear for our special day out. Princess dress! she squealed! I'm not sure when she developed an admiration for princ... Read More » -

Published on Tuesday, February 5, 2013 by Caryn Bailey Anyone who knows me in real life, knows that I am a Whole Foods junkie! It's an off week if I've only frequented our local store once. As is typical of my visits, I checked the monthly calendar to see if there were any interesting events happening this month. Given that it is February, I knew I'd find at least one Valentine's Day-themed event, and inde... Read More » -

Driving Tips To Keep You Safe This Winter *Gi...
Published on Monday, February 4, 2013 by Caryn Bailey One of my favorite childhood memories were the road trips we'd take as a family. I loved everything about those trips...from the games we'd play in the car to the impromptu stops we'd make along the way for off-the-beaten path activities and sights. While we haven't taken a ton of road trips as a family, we are starting to utilize this type of travel because it is... Read More » -

Strawberry Shortcake: Follow Your Berry Own B...
Published on Sunday, February 3, 2013 by Caryn Bailey I remember a time when my daughter would have nothing to do with the animated characters she met in person. She would hold me tight and bury her head in my shoulder. I guess that is why the moment she walked up to Strawberry Shortcake and her friends was so special. What you can't see is her initial conversation with Strawberry...oh how I wish I had a tape rec... Read More » -

Published on Friday, February 1, 2013 by Caryn Bailey As a young girl, my parents often took day trips to Malibu where we would shop, eat, relax, and fish off the pier. I'd bring a bag of toys and my mother and I would play together while my father sat, fishing pole in hand, waiting for the next "bite." One of my favorite toys was a small Strawberry Shortcake doll, and I still remember the way her hair smelled...swee... Read More » -

Published on Thursday, January 31, 2013 by Caryn Bailey For the first time in weeks, I walked out of the house without a sweater or my boots, perhaps a sign that Spring isn't too far away. We've had one of the coldest winters I can remember, so despite the short warming trend, I wasn't prepared to think about Spring yet. But many stores are ahead of the game, and I'm already seeing some of the top fashion trends on display... Read More » -

Recipe: Easy Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
Published on Thursday, January 31, 2013 by Caryn Bailey It's like dessert for breakfast...but healthier! I love breakfast...from simple whole grain cereals to elaborate frittatas and fruit crepes. But most mornings, I simply don't have time to be creative. By the time I've helped my kids get dressed and fed, the breakfast window is over, so very often I'll have a simple bowl of cereal or oatmeal. Because oatmeal is a... Read More » -

Recipe: Elevated Caprese Pizza Bites
Published on Thursday, January 31, 2013 by Caryn Bailey One year ago, I would have considered making a chicken or pasta dish a glorious culinary success. Before we had children, my cooking skills were mediocre, at best. And because my husband and I had very busy jobs where we often did not have dinner at a normal time, eating out was always our regular backup plan. But there is something about having children that c... Read More »
