Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Hello everyone! I hope the dads had a fabulous Father’s Day yesterday! Book Update: Our book club is reading “An Uncomplicated Life” by Paul Daugherty. It is a biography of his daughter who was born with Down’s Syndrome and her life up through college. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. The author …
Book: Our book club book for the month is “I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Changed the World” by Malala Yousafzai. If you need a quick biography to read, then this book may interest you. It is only 195 pages. The person herself- Malala – is first-rate five stars wowzer person. She …
Books: Book Club is reading “The Silver Star” by Jeanette Walls. It may sound familiar because she wrote the book club classic “The Glass Castle”. Great story so far about two girls in a not so great situation with their mom and they find a new path to take. For non-fiction, I have The …
Book Update: Currently, I’m reading “The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute.” Really interesting book on how an “investment” (collecting stuffed animals) became a vehicle for money. Ty Warner apparently was crazy. He started the company and created beanie babies. But, he also created a company that lied …
Book Update: I gave up on “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doer. I must be a freak because now there are not 6 thousand, not 8 thousand, but now 9 thousand reviews on Amazon for this book! That’s like 1000 more reviews since I started reading it. I started reading instead a good …
Book: Our book club book this month is “The Nesting Place: It Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect too Be Beautiful” by Myquillyn Smith. Funny, I was researching decorating and pick this book up in the summer. I didn’t read it because it didn’t teach you how to decorate but more about life while decorating. My …
Book: We all decided that “Where’d Ya Go Bernadette?” by Maria Semple was funny…. but wouldn’t recommend. It’s funny and weird and if you want that – go read it. If you want an ending that makes sense, don’t. I am working on another “Our Favorite Things at Trader Joe’s” post. It should almost …
Hope everyone had a GREAT Halloween! Ours was a little chilly…. like 37 degrees and hands freezing chilly. But the kids got their loot before 8pm, so they were all happy. Recipe: All buggers aside, this recipe is SUPER yummy, SUPER easy, SUPER healthy and Freezer Friendly. How can you go wrong? I make …
Fast, fresh and easy Spinach Egg Casserole. You don’t need to huge a loaf of carbs, I mean bread, for this casserole dish like many others. It only requires a handful of ingredients to throw into the skillet. Use a casserole dish, muffin pan, mini muffin pan, bar pan or whatever shape you want …
Book/Life Update: Today at MOPS, we discussed the mommy wars and how we compare one another. Sigh, I dunno. I love some food blogs out there, but I know that they are full-time bloggers who really work at this. I spend 30 minutes at most and would love to spend more taking perfect photos with the …
