an arch enemy
Tuesday, July 10th, 2012My arch enemy. Cheez-Its. If there is a box of these in my house it is a problem. I usually eat 5-10 at a time. All day long. It might be better for me to sit down and eat the whole damn box at once. Maybe then I would just get sick of them [from feeling ill] and never go back.
As a friend so aptly named it yesterday, “It is the season of s’mores.” If I am going to have s’mores and/or other delicious desserts with an extra glass of wine this summer, I am going to lay off the Cheez-Its. They are not permitted to enter my house. Because once they are in the house…… there is no stopping me!
Do you have a snack or food item that gets you every time?

the power of dawn
Monday, July 2nd, 2012The power of Dawn saved my life this weekend. [That might be a touch dramatic.] Dawn saved my shirt. While taking a pan of bacon out of the oven, a pop and a splatter covered a brand new shirt with bacon grease. After a brief freak out, I remembered I had a bottle of original (blue) Dawn in my laundry room. The recipe for rescue: a small drop on each of the grease splatters and let it sit over night. I washed it this morning in hot water. All traces of bacon grease are gone! I am a true believer. Think about it and it makes perfect sense. If Dawn can cut through the grease on your pots and pans, why not your clothing?
[Please note: If you use this clothing rescue, make sure to air dry your clothing after washing. You don’t want to throw it in the dryer and set any remaining grease. You might need to repeat the process to fully remove the stains. I did.]

a summer track: hello
Thursday, June 28th, 2012This song, Hello by Martin Solveig and Dragonette, just makes me happy. Build a new playlist and add this track. [Ironically, the video continues with my tennis theme from yesterday!]

Party. Rinse. Repeat.
Tuesday, June 26th, 2012I am thinking that it is high time for some outdoor entertaining. A few things from ACME Party Box Company would set the mood. The company motto is party. rinse. repeat. Don’t you love that? Started by two working moms, this online company specializes in darling, reusable party items.
This is what I am thinking for a warm afternoon on the patio:
Check out ACME Party Box. What items shout, “Let’s Party!” to you?
Add some sun and let’s go.
a bowl of love
Tuesday, June 19th, 2012Our family has a new favorite cereal…….
What does Quaker have to say about this cute little heart-shaped cereal?
“Enjoy the perfect balance of taste and nutrition. Finally! Every lightly sweetened piece of deliciously crisp oat cereal is in the shape of a heart to remind you that you’re starting your day with a heart-healthy choice.”
My boys ask for them as a dry snack. I enjoy a bowl for breakfast with a ton of blueberries. Tastes great. Good for you. How often does that happen?

get this party started.
Friday, June 15th, 2012Summer officially begins, around these parts, at 11:01am today. Let the marathon begin.
Stay up late, let them run wild, encourage them to get dirty, play catch with them, take them swimming, buy them super soakers, build something together, say yes to candy, take a bike ride, go on a road trip, lay in the shade and read, make ice cream. Love them and enjoy them. If not now, when?
