{DIY} Handprint Snowman Ornament

Last Christmas, I wanted to do something special for everyone from the girls. I saw the most adorable hand print snowman ornament on Pinterest that would be perfect! Although I had my reservations about the craft – mainly the paint and painting with 2 kids under the age of 2 (one being an infant) – it turned out to be fantastic. We did have a few mishaps, but that makes for some good stories! Not only did my daughter love helping make these memorable presents, but it was sweet to see her give out the presents to everyone with a big…

Sofia the First: The Curse of Princess Ivy House Party

You may be thinking, “She threw another Sofia the First party?!” I sure did! With a house full of princess-obsessed girls, it was bound to happen again. Especially when the awesome folks at HouseParty.com selected us to host one of their fabulous Disney Jr. Sofia the First Parties for the premiere of the newest installment of our favorite show, Sofia the First: The Curse of Princess Ivy. My girls would get so excited with every preview they saw on Disney Jr. and I am not going to lie, my husband and I were just as excited. We have grown to…

Pork Medallions with Cranberry Chutney

It’s no secret that I am all about the easy recipes; preferably ones that take me 30 minutes or less. Lucky for me, my sister -who also loves to cook – shares that same affinity for quick meals. It might have something to do with her being a mom to 3 kids under the age of 3, but she has some hidden gems that are equally bad ass and delicious. Lately, she has been ranting and raving about an easy, pork medallions with cranberry chutney dish she has been making and her 3 girls have been eating it up. She had me…

Posted by in December

I had the pleasure of experiencing Elements Therapeutic Massage in Boca Raton first hand, and let me tell you, it jump started my tired, achy body for this holiday season! The day of my massage started like it any other usual day does, complete chaos and mayhem. I was up a couple times during the night with the newborn and of course my toddler had to throw the most horrific tantrum just as I was supposed to leave. Needless to say, I was more than ready to get some time to myself. I arrived to Elements Therapeutic and walked in…

Recipe Remix: Fettucine Alfredo

Posted by in December, Recipes

So about a week ago, my husband had the wonderful idea of having Fettuccine Alfredo for dinner. Don’t have to ask me twice! Pasta with lots of butter, cheese and milk? Uh no brainer. We wanted something to bulk up the Fettuccine Alfredo recipe we have perfected and our usual go-to add in is chicken. BORING. We needed something different to spice up our Saturday night, seeing as we would probably end up spending the night sprawled on the couch watching HGTV or Food Network. I know what you’re thinking..we are cah-rayyyzaaay! He brilliantly suggested baby portobello mushrooms. I typically…
