I love me some fondue! As a Mother’s Day treat, my mom whipped up some delicious cheese fondue as an appetizer and let me tell you, it blew the socks off the Melting Pot’s version! I have always been intimidated to have my own fondue night but rather opted to just go out and let a waiter take care of the dirty work. I observed as she made the cheese and no joke, it took her about 15 minutes from start to finish. That’s it. What the hell am I so intimidated by?! We feasted on bread and green apples…
Organizing Your Life: De-cluttering Papers & Bills
0I am probably the most unorganized person on the planet, but am trying to learn how to organize my life and de-clutter pretty much everything around me. Because seriously, I can’t freaking stand all the crap around anymore, it’s driving me insane!!! This is what usually happens in my house when we get our mail: it piles on our buffet until I can’t stand looking at it anymore, so I then shove it into our very small mail organizer on the counter. After a few weeks, it looks like it’s about to burst at the seams with bills, letters and…
Disney Dining: Where To Eat Part 2 – Character Lunch at Tusker House
0I have been meaning to write this post since our return from Disney last month! Now, dining at Disney can get extremely pricey and we were on a strict budget this trip. We found a great snack shop in Magic Kingdom but what about in some of the other great parks? I did some research and saw rave reviews for Donald’s Dining Safari Lunch at Tusker House in the Animal Kingdom, which also is a character lunch. So since we were heading to Animal Kingdom, this was a no brainer. With all character dining – and seated dining for that…
Leftover Chicken? Make Some Chicken Parcels
0
I haven’t been inspired too much lately in the kitchen. Hate to admit it, but there have been a lot of soup & salad nights…and sometimes sans soup. Call it laziness, call it I’m pregnant AND lazy. The other night I splurged and went to good old Publix and grabbed a yummy rotisserie chicken. So what to do with all the left overs?? Chicken Pot Pie is always a nice fall back, but tonight I decided to step outside the box and make Parcels. What the hell is a parcel you may ask? A fancy word for a package. Cause…
What To Do When Your Toddler De-Clothes…
0Seriously, I am asking. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU DO?! For about a month now, we have been having issues with getting and staying dressed. Mornings usually consist of me exerting all my daily energy into just getting her dressed. Then followed by the ripping off of said clothes I spent a good 10 minutes trying to put on. Oh, and how could I forget the 20 minute long tantrum that follows. Now, it’s not every day, but its about 5 of the 7 days of the week. This is stuff that drives mom’s to drink bottles of wine to…
Dunkin Donuts Newest Creations!
0I had the pleasure of attending a blogger event at the newly renovated Dania Beach Dunkin Donuts last week to sample some of DD’s newest wrap and sandwich creations. I love that Dunkin Donuts is taking it a step above breakfast and keeping us fueled through out the day on some delicious sammies instead of just donuts. But what sandwich wouldn’t be complete with out one of their famous drinks to go along with it, and they are recreating those too! Not only is the menu getting a makeover, but most stores are getting a nice facelift. Dania Beach Dunkin…
Packing Smart: The Beach!
0We are very fortunate to live so close to the beach. If I tell you how close, some of you may get a little jealous. 😀 One of the many perks of living here in Florida, aka Paradise. Going to the beach prior to having kids was a breeze. We didn’t have to think about nap time, schedules, diapers, toys, snacks…you know the drill. Before we could just hop in the car at what ever time we got up, armed with a towel, chair and some sunscreen and we were on the way. If we really wanted to go nuts,…

0OH Mother’s Day…we meet again! I am always trying to look for something new and unique for Mother’s Day gifts. Last year, I made footprint butterflies for both grandma’s.

Shutterfly has some great options that would make any mom, grandmother, aunt or special someone feel like a million bucks this Mother’s Day. You can upload your favorite pics and choose designs for as low as $27.96. They even have adorable monogrammed…
Healthy Happy Hour: A Quick Fruity Smoothie Recipe
0So I’m fat. Yes, I know I’m pregnant and it comes with the territory. There is only one man on the planet that can call me fat (in a sense) without suffering the bitchy repercussions of my rage and that man is my OB. And by call me fat I mean yell at me for gaining too much weight over a months time. I will admit I haven’t been eating or drinking the healthiest but #2 seems to be craving sugar. Anything sugar, candy, sweets you name it, I’ve inhaled it. So its no surprise that for the past 2…
Dunkin’ Donuts Does National Donut Day!
0If you thought you couldn’t love Dunkin’ Donuts anymore than you already do well then I have one more reason for you to: FREE Donuts June 1st! Yes you heard me correctly, good ol’ Dunkin’ will be giving 1 free donut to each patron with a purchase of any beverage, Friday June 1st in honor of National Donut Day. The greatest day in the entire world. Just to give you a little history on how National Donut Day originated, let us go back in the day to 1938. The Salvation Army wanted to honor women who served in WWI by giving them a free donut…
