Creamless Summer Corn Chowder

I love summer soups, and corn chowder is definitely one of those! I was inspired years ago when I was working and would frequent Panera for my lunch breaks. They make a kick ass corn chowder that would only make an appearance during the summer months and I scoured the internet to find one that would taste just as good and I didn’t have to spend $5 on it every time I wanted some. Back then I was on a healthy kick, so I came across a cream-less version and it’s pretty damn awesome! Light, crispy and packed full of…

Back To School Shopping @ The Children’s Place!

Posted by Amanda in August, Shopping

Oh yeah, you heard me right – it’s Back To School time! Crazy how in a blink of an eye the best few months of the year are coming to an end and all the kids will be bussed back to school in the next few weeks. Next to school supplies, clothes shopping is number one on parents list of to-do’s for the new school year and in my house this will be our first! Tear.

My husband will probably read this and make a smart ass comment to me like he did last night when I finally tried out a Christmas present: an ice cream sandwich maker. i’Scream Sliders is one of the coolest (albeit pointless) kitchen gadgets I have and it’s so fun to use..plus it pops out ice cream sandwiches in less than a minute!

Hasta La Vista, Pacifier…..Or Not

Posted by Amanda in July

My girl Ava has been completely obsessed with her Mimi aka pacifier, since we got home from the hospital 2 years ago. We always knew the day would come where we’d have to take it away from her so we don’t have to spend thousands in orthodontia work when shes a teen. Oh and all those other issues that arise with the binkies, too. But it was breaking our hearts to take it away, even though we knew it was for her own good. She literally loves this froggy to pieces and sobs when ever its not with her and…
