Thanksgiving at Disney World – #typeatrip Day One

“I’m really here.” That’s what my 3-year-old son said yesterday, softly to himself soon after we arrived at Disney World. I know many families do the traditional Thanksgiving, but this year we decided to pack up the minivan and head south. Today, Thanksgiving Day, was our first...

Test Drive of A Full Cup Coupon Site

Test Drive of A Full Cup Coupon Site
OK, so straight up, I am not a coupon clipper. I like the idea of it, and from time to time I’ve bought papers and cut them up. But from week to week, I just don’t have time to do that clipping and organizing. But then, you know, five humans and four pets and a crappy economy came along....

Join the Sustainable Kitchen Project

Join the Sustainable Kitchen Project
As spring arrives, I’ve been thinking over the past year since I started my personal Sustainable Kitchen Project. I actually accomplished quite a bit considering the hectic pace of a busy mom. It dawned on me maybe many of us can support each other by my inviting all of you to participate in the...

Reverse Grocery Shopping List

For the past three weeks, I have spent about 25-50 percent more than I normally do for groceries. And this isn’t indulging in gourmet items, or even getting anything beyond the essentials. There’s a post that’s been rattling around in my head and I just hadn’t gotten around to...

My Martha Stewart Guest Post

You can find me today on the Martha Stewart Dinner Tonight blog. Yes, you read that right. The p erson whose life was once about finding the cheapest Happy Hour booze has, like, grown up or something. Scary, really. Here is a blurb: I am all about the speed dinner.

Vintage Cookbooks

I’ve always had what can only be described as a slight illness (or perhaps compulsion) when it comes to cookbooks. I hardly have time some days to toss something semi-edible on the table while the kids whine, yet I feel I need to add to my collection. But I started evolving my compulsion a little...

Fall and Winter Vegetable Garden

I have had a lot of fun with the gardening part of my sustainable kitchen project. I haven’t had huge yields or anything (maybe a tomato here or there, peppers that I’m still waiting to see grow, and a ridiculous amount of basil). Still, there’s something amazing about eating something...

Homemade Cupcakes

Recently, we were at the mall and saw something I have a hard time resisting. A children’s cooking kit that was on sale for a fraction of its original price. So when my daughter started waving that cupcake baking and decorating kit in front of me at the store, I had to get it. Even though cupcakes...

Nightlife with Kids

Yes, you read that right. Nightlife. With Kids. It can happen. My husband and I used to be all about nightlife. Then we had a kid. But we still did a lot. After all, we traveled for months living in Europe, so she saw a late night here or there. Then we had two more kids at once. And nightlife was...

Homemade Bruschetta from Garden Tomatoes and Basil

This is precisely a main reason, a culmination, of why I am doing my Sustainable Kitchen Project. It’s just for amazing experiences like this. Just yesterday, I glanced over towards my garden. I noticed a flash of red. Not green, and not the even more likely brown. Red. It stopped me in my tracks. ...
