It’s National Pretzel Day – Go ahead and celebrate!
You know you want to.
Today, April 26, is National Pretzel Day! I’ll take any old reason to celebrate, especially when there are salty snacks are involved. How did the lowly and oft overlooked pretzel get it’s start? I took a little cruise around the internet and found that most agree the first pretzels were created around 600 AD by Catholic monks using left over dough which was twisted into the pretzel knot we know today. Some say the knot shape … Read entire article »

Peep-a-licious! – Kate’s Escapades
Since Easter is only days away, I’ve been out stocking up on my Peeps supply. Heaven forbid I leave my Peep shopping to the last minute, and to my horror, find the shelves bare of the ooey, gooey, sugary marshmallow treats. I would be forever disowned as head holiday empress of my kingdom. I love me some Peeps! Do you love Peeps, too? I’ve gathered a few peep-a-liscious ideas in case you’d like to impress your peeps … Read entire article »

Subway Art – Easter
I’m really loving this new decorating trend called Subway Art. I suppose it’s got it’s name because it mimics the graffiti found in the subways, only this version is a lot less messy and won’t land you in jail. I first noticed Subway Art in friends houses around Christmastime. I let the idea roll around in my brain for a few months and voila! out … Read entire article »

Picture Me a Monday – I don’t like jokes
Yesterday was April Fools’ Day, which happened to land on a Sunday this year. That means it was a family dinner at my parent’s house along with my brother, sister-in-law and two young nephews. Hooray! A bigger set of victims for this year’s prank. Here’s what I discovered…don’t mess with a 3-year-old’s food. It will not go well. There will probably be tears, much loud screaming and perhaps a tantrum. And by probably and perhaps, I … Read entire article »

April Fools’ Day Frozen Cereal Prank
Over the years, I’ve been known to play some fairly elaborate April Fools’ Day food pranks on my family. It’s almost always at dinnertime, so they have learned to have their guard up and to expect to be pranked with their dinner. (Past successes…Cupcake Dinner Prank and Meatloaf/Cake Dinner Prank) Last year I decided to mix it up a bit and catch them off guard with a breakfast prank. This one is SUPER easy and only … Read entire article »

Since April Fools’ Day is coming up in a few days, we decided this post from two years ago is worth a Second Glance... It’s finally here. The day when I get to release my pent up immaturity…the day when it’s perfectly acceptable for me to feel mischievous and sneaky…the day when I get to be all the things I try to teach my kids not to be. I must confess, when I was writing yesterday’s ridiculous … Read entire article »
