Because, as much as you’d like to sit down for a Netflix binge, stuff still needs to get done. Sigh….
If you’re anything like me, the decision to quit your job and stay at home with the kids was an easy one. The thought of being there for each one of your child’s firsts fills you with joy. Also the thought of being able to stay in your pj’s all day. (I love pj’s, yo.) It’s how to make that dream happen that’s the tough part. How exactly are you supposed to live off one income with a baby…
Lemme tell ya’ll something: I’m from the South. Something else: My husband is not (he’s a New Yorker), but he LOVES Thanksgiving. So when I came across a recipe on Pinterest for Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing, I was SUPER JAZZED. It uses chicken, Stovetop stuffing, a gravy made from Cream of Chicken soup, and a Crockpot. It’s like they read our minds. I’ve been making it for a couple years now, but I noticed recently how dry my chicken was….
If I had to rank my favorite ethnic cuisines, “Mediterranean” would be at the top of the list. (Technically, it would tie for first with Greek food, but since Greece is on the Mediterranean, I let it slide.) And when I don’t have the time to make Stuffed Grape Leaves, this Chicken Shawarma does the trick. (Psst…you wanna know what makes it even better? My 1-year-old daughter LOVES IT.)

I don’t know what led me to search for “oatmeal chocolate chip muffins”…
Everyone and their hairdresser has been talking about decluttering guru Marie Kondo and her book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” so I decided to take the plunge. I snagged it up at my local wholesale store last month, and (while I don’t agree with everything she says) I jumped on board. I consider myself a very organized (and very lazy person), so the idea of decluttering once and for all and never having to do it again appealed to me….
I love Pinterest. I love it so much, it’s become my new Google. Need to know how to get sticker residue off your refrigerator? Pinterest! Need inspiration for a shabby chic tea party? Pinterest! Want to find a really good recipe? Search Pinterest! So when my husband read an article that said you should never buy salad dressing because it’s so much easier and tastier when you make it yourself, I hopped on Pinterest to put this claim to the…
