Kate’s Escapades – Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs I’ve been on a quest over the past few days to find out how to make the “Perfect Hard Boiled Egg” since Easter is coming up on Sunday. At my house, dyeing eggs on the Saturday before Easter is a tradition. We’re not talking a couple eggs here…we’re talking 5 (yep, that’s FIVE) dozen eggs. I know that sounds ridiculous, but that’s only 8 eggs per kid, with a few extra to … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – April Fool’s Day Food Prank
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 story, I kind of creeped myself out. Talk about a prank gone awry. I’m still paying for that one and will be for … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades -Be careful what you prank about!
It could come back to bite you in the butt!
Tomorrow is a BIG holiday for me. Are you now racking your brain with thoughts of “Wait a minute! Tomorrow is a holiday? What did I forget? Did Easter sneak up on me? Am I totally unprepared with the you-know -what from the you-know-who?” Rest at ease. It’s not a big holiday to most of the mature adult world…just me and a few other crazies who save up their usually well hidden, immature instincts for … Read entire article »

Kate Goes on an Adventure
to the Holi Festival of Colors
Join Kate as she goes on an adventure to the Holi Festival of Colors at the Hare Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, UT.

Kate’s Escapades – Holi Festival of Colors
To check out Kate’s Adventure to this year’s Holi Festival of Colors go HERE! Quick! When I say the words “Hare Krishna” what is the first thing that comes to mind? If you thought men with shaved heads and women with long wavy hair, chanting, wearing white robes, and selling flowers at the airport, you’d be echoing my first thoughts. (You’d also be aging yourself, but that’s entirely another subject for another day.) This is the impression … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Spring-time Tie Dye Cupcakes
This weekend I attempted to make rainbow cupcakes for my sister-in-law’s birthday. You’ll notice the word “attempted”, which in itself implies that I was not successful. I followed the instructions to a “T”, but somewhere between the directions and the end result, my rainbow layers turned into random tie dye designs. I’ll admit that the Martha Stewart in me was tempted to just run the recipe as if I had intended for them to be … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – St. Patrick’s Day fun!!!
There is an old Irish saying that goes something like this… “There are only two kinds of people in the world, the Irish and those who wish they were.” My husband and kids fall into the Irish category, and I am but a lowly Irish wannabe. Perhaps that’s why I go a little over the top with my St. Paddy’s Day celebrations. Maybe I’m trying to prove to them (and myself) that I deserve to … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Prepare to be amazed
I’ll admit it. I’m a fan of the whole reality show genre. I’m always game for a good episode of Survivor or Project Runway (welcome back). Over the years though, I’ve kind of lost some of my excitement for the talent-type shows, America’s Got Talent being a prime example. The “talent” just seems so homogenized, and even a tad bit boring. How many singers, dancers, magicians can we watch before we venture off to a … Read entire article »
