Excuse me while I repeat a mantra of, “stay calm Kim” over the next 48 hours, because I’m really freaking out about this whole race thing. Didn’t sleep more than 5 hours each night this week… haven’t been eating well…. and mentally I’m just eating myself up over this thing I’ve never [...]
We threw a “twins” baby shower at work last week for a colleague, and because it’s someone I work with every day, I decided to make sure I contributed something a little extra special to the event. I opened up my “yummy yummy – sweets” board on Pinterest for inspiration [...]
I’ve referenced Operation Baking GALS in the past… an Internet organization that helps organize and send baked goodies to troops serving abroad… and told you about how wonderful it is and just how absolutely easy it is to get involved.
But today I want to mention it again in light of an email that [...]
When your start amassing your child’s literature collection, you begin with the books you loved as a child. And then you stare at the books on your bookshelves and get excited at the thought of when those books will be read and loved… and sadly that’s many years away.
So excuse my squeals of excitement [...]

Back in October… I saw this project on my Pinterest boards. Soon after, I went to IKEA, bought an 8×10 frame, and printed a simple phrase in as manly a typeface as I could muster and framed it. I took out a dry erase marker and filled-in-the-blanks. Then I plopped it on [...]
Winter has once again showed up with a vengeance and brought all of its icky cold-igniting bacteria and virus friends to play with little (and big) girls and boys. We escaped the pesky winter worries during Miss L’s first winter, since her birth in late February gave us a buffer zone of [...]
Last week’s Wild Card NFL weekend had neither of “our” teams playing (Niners & JETS), which meant that Mr. M could step away from the TV screen for a bit and take some time preparing a more intricate culinary treat for watching enjoyment instead. (aka. new recipe time!)
As is usual [...]
The beauty of being a mom is that it’s part of your job to play, watch cartoons, sing songs, dance whenever you feel like (even if that’s in the middle of a popular midtown restaurant at 6pm), and make your child giggle whenever possible. People always remark at the amazing freedom that [...]
With only a few short weeks left before I run that “race thing” … I’ve decided I need to start super hydrating myself. And since it’s really hard for me to drink lots of water on a normal basis, I’ve turned to drinking the one kind of water that is really really [...]
If you’re a citrus lover like me, then you know how much there is to love about winter and meyer lemon season! So when I was deciding between recipe options for our chicken this week, I instantly gravitated towards this one because of the inclusion of such a wonderful in-season fruit!
Roast [...]
This Christmas, I wanted to decorate our living room windows with something out of the pages of a Pottery Barn holiday catalog. But the cost of draping 6 windows in pine needle swag just wasn’t that appealing… and when I attempted to make a pom-pom garland two years ago, it came up looking tiny and [...]
