Happy Memorial Day! Gotta love long weekends full of family, friends and good food. Not to forget the bad ass men and women who have or are currently serving our country so we can have weekends like this! I have lots of veterans in my fam that we celebrate today and every day for our freedom. Now, we know this weekend is usually jammed packed with parties, backyard BBQ’s, beach days and pool time. We have done all 4! It’s been an great weekend, got a great tan going, got to spend time with family and friends and really got…
5 People To Avoid While Pregnant
0Now that I am expecting my second daughter this August, I seemed to have conveniently forgot about the little annoyances of being pregnant. Aside from your usual’s, ie: morning sickness, prenatal horse pills, snoring and frequent peeing, I seemed to have blocked out all the crazy encounters that occur while preggo. Yes, I am talking about the complete strangers (and sometimes not) that go out of their way to make you feel uncomfortable, awkward and want to run for the hills. You might think this is my negative “I hate people” attitude, because most of the times, these people don’t…
Brunch: Baked Eggs
0
I love brunch. Brunching is the best. Waffles, eggs, pancakes, hash browns, mimosa’s, bloody Mary’s….Did I mention mimosa’s?? For Christmas we decided to have a brunch and served all the above as well as shrimp cocktail, stuffed mushrooms and baked eggs. It was a first for us to try them out, my husband and I both saw recipes for baked eggs and they looked so good. We decided to put our heads together and whip up some with some great ingredients. The prep was a bit tedious, depending on what you want in the baked eggs but so worth it!…
Tales of the Cursing Toddler
0For anyone who has been in my company can attest to the fact that I have quite the sailor mouth. Might not be the classiest thing about me, but it just comes out way too naturally. Everyone keeps telling me I have to cool it with the curses because I have a toddler who is quickly turning into a parrot. I just yeah’d them to death and continued on my way. So yesterday when my toddler dropped one of her toys and yelled out, “Oh, F#$%!” is when I took everyone’s statement a little more seriously. Not only did she…
Meatless Friday’s: Crab Cake Sandwiches
0The last meatless Friday of Lent – had to go out with a bang! I have been craving Maryland-style crab cakes. Anything Maryland-style is good in my book. I lived there for 7 years and have had an obsession with old bay and blue crabs ever since. There’s one restaurant that I usually go to when I am feigning those spicy bad boys, but i didn’t feel like taking the 40 minute hike up north to West Palm, so I put on the chef’s hat and went to work. I whipped up some pan fried crab cake sandwiches last week…
Finding The Bully In The Crowd…and Her Texting Mom
0At our local mall, they have a great tot lot that my daughter LOVES! They have these crazy things she can climb on, a slide (her favorite, of course) and a spongy, bouncy floor. On rainy or yucky days when the park won’t do, this is are go to. I brought her there yesterday just to get out of the house and that’s where we encountered our first bully. Here in Florida, all the kids are on spring break so the tot lot was a mad house! Jammed packed with kids running, jumping, pretty much doing any and everything with…

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
0With September being Childhood Cancer Awareness month, its good to always know that skin cancer doesn’t just affect us adults. More teens and young adults are developing skin cancer – scary! I’ve lived in South Florida for about half my life and laying out in the sun has become just a part of life. Now that I have a daughter of my own who loves the pool and beach, I am more aware of the harmful effects of the sun and UV rays. I constantly apply lotion while out in the sun, along with a hat and sunglasses (when she…
Creative Meal Ideas For Toddlers
0I have hit a freaking brick wall with meals ideas to serve my little girl. Add in her picky palate (which came out of NOWHERE!) its beginning to become a chore trying to figure out what to feed her. And I have plenty of chores, I surely don’t need to add another to the list. Now, I know I have addressed this in my post last week, but its getting to become extreme. One day she eats the entire plate full of food, then like Cybill, she switches gears the next day and my floor is covered in her dissatisfied…
Twinsanity!!
0Everything is in doubles today! In honor of my sister who gave birth to a set of twin girls Monday, I felt we could use some fun and freaky-weird twin facts to welcome them into our crazy family! Fraternal twins are hereditary. Identical are not. There is a “twin gene” that is passed on by the parents. Thanks mom and dad, for now I am scared shit that you have passed it along to me! Twins can have different dads. Talk about baby daddy drama! Twins usually make there own secret language. Chances of having twins increase as you…
