Screaming For Ice Cream

Posted on01. Sep, 2010 by Kate.

Summer panic has hit. While the rest of the country has been sweltering in record highs this summer, Northern California is experiencing the coldest summer on record for the past 50 years. Really, I kid you not. Our high the other day was 61 degrees. That’s not summer! So I’m panicking a little here – [...]

Posted on31. Aug, 2010 by Kate.

Every afternoon as my eyelids start to drag, I put the kettle on and make a nice cup of tea. I’m not English so I don’t come by this ritual naturally, but any mom out there knows that either you’re non-stop motion or falling asleep tired when you have toddlers. So, I found this little [...]

Grocery Delivery for Moms

Posted on10. Aug, 2010 by Kate.

I’ve been looking for ways to simplify my life. I used to love grocery shopping – fingering all the fresh produce, dreaming about what I could cook up. But now it’s all about speed. How fast can I shop and what will make a fast dinner? Not exactly fun. Add to that 2 children and [...]

Quinoa Salad Recipe

Posted on09. Aug, 2010 by Kate.

The first time I made quinoa was a disaster. I basically made gruel. I didn’t know that it was supposed to be more like couscous and less like pasta. Guess it would have helped if I read the directions, but hey, I’m a busy momma and sometimes the directions take too long. I know now. [...]

Green, Reusable Sandwich Bag For Lunch

Posted on12. Jul, 2010 by Kate.

In search of all things green, I found something great for lunches: reusable sandwich bags from Paper Source called the Polka Dot Resnackit Reusable Bag. Just think, if you switch from disposable plastic sandwich bags, you could help the environment by saving the equivalent of 1000 bags in one year or .5 nanoseconds of the [...]

Summer Cocktails Using Tequila

Posted on02. Jul, 2010 by Kate.

Because sometimes mommy just needs to get her drink on! Here’s a few recipes that were sent to me that I’m dying to try out. I’m not normally a tequila girl, and these all contain Rosangle tequila (a brand I’ve never heard of). Now, I’ve never tried Rosangle so I cannot fully endorse how it [...]

Steri Bottle Single Use Baby Bottle

Posted on29. Jun, 2010 by Kate.

My first question when I heard about Steri Bottle was “why single use?” Then I got my head outta my you know what and thought – how brilliant! Just think – no more washing bottles! Oh, the freedom. Of course, I’m a little more of a pack rat than that, and I can’t see myself [...]

Chocomize: Custom Chocolate Bar Made Just For You

Posted on28. Jun, 2010 by Kate.

Mmmm. Chocolate. I do love my chocolate. I’m what you would call a chocoholic. When I heard about a chocolate bar that you can “customize,” I thought “nice, but not for me.” Typically the chocolate is ho-hum and the treats you can “add” to your bar are either too sweet or are boring (yes, yes, [...]

Are Cartoon Characters Making Children Fat?

Posted on24. Jun, 2010 by Kate.

Dora the Explorer is everywhere. My personal favorite marketing ploy is putting Dora on diapers. My child knows way too much about Dora and she doesn’t even know Dora has her own TV show. She’s that omnipresent. Now, it looks like Dora is making our kids fat. Well, maybe Dora isn’t alone. Turns out that [...]

Uh Oh Pasghetti Os – at least, that what we used to call them. Campbell’s SpaghettiOs with Meatballs have recalled (voluntarily) 15,000,000 pounds of SpaghettiOs. Now that’s a lot of pasghetti! These are the products being recalled: 14.75-ounce cans of “SpaghettiOs” with Meatballs, bearing the identifying product code “U5″ on the bottom of the can. [...]

Hostess With The Mostess Parties

Posted on08. Jun, 2010 by Kate.

I love parties, especially ones where you feel special when you walk in and see a beautiful table and eat a lovely meal. I, however, am not great at throwing parties. I get all anxious, wind up cooking in the kitchen when guests arrive and have to resort to asking for help setting the table. [...]
