When our kids are little, we seem to have those memorable moments every few weeks. The first time baby rolls over, crawls, talks - they all come so fast. Then you make it through the toddler years and the major events are fewer and farther between. We hadn't had many big ones here in a while, but August seems to be the month of milestones: Little J mastered riding his bile without training wheels ...
Is the no!no! hair removal system for you?
I don't know about you, but I HATE shaving my legs. It just seems like a colossal waste of time. My mornings are rushed enough without having to spend an extra five minutes running a razor all over my legs. And skipping it is not an option! I've been on the lookout for a new way to eliminate this step from my daily routine. Laser hair removal sounds nice, but pricey. Then I started hearing ...

Chocolate Zucchini Cake Recipe (with all that extra zucchini!)
I was conversing with my cousin, Jean aka Purple Haze Mama last night on Twitter (what? isn't that how all families keep in touch these days?) when she mentioned that she had made a delicious chocolate zucchini cake.

The Sunshine Award…
I was very flattered to receive the Sunshine Award from Amy over at From One Mommy to Another. Amy is one of my very favorite people in the whole world. We met (what seems like eons ago) in a Gymboree class that our sons were both attending. Right away we found that we had lots in common - we shared many common friends, were both educators, and were both a bit type-A. I remember being absolutely ...
Making Frozen Hot Chocolate
We discovered the Washington County Fair when LJ was just a toddler. We didn't want to brave the crowds at State Fair, but still wanted to have some fun and the Washington County Fair was just the right size. One of the things we discovered that year was the man in the trolley selling frozen hot chocolate by the exit gate. I had originally stopped thinking I would get some iced coffee, but when ...

The nice folks at Crest sent me a few Crest Whitestrips to try out (which I greatly appreciated!). As a self-proclaimed coffee addict, it seemed like I would be a good person to give them a try! Perhaps they should have performed an intelligence test on me before sending me their product. The first evening, I applied the strips as instructed and sat down to watch a TV show. The show was 1/2 hour ...
Grilled Top Sirloin with Smoky Orange Sauce
So tonight I made the first in my recipe series using Swift beef from Roundy's. I selected the Grilled Top Sirloin with Smokey Orange Sauce because I thought it sounded summer-y. (Plus, the Swift Top Sirloin Filets are on sale for $4.99/lb through Wednesday!) I started by putting together the rub which consisted of oregano, fresh cilantro, smoked paprika and minced garlic. I put the rub on the ...
