Review: School Lunch Kits from Citizenpip
Founded by Christina Ip-Toma, citizenpip is a mom-powered business and was inspired by the belief that making small changes in your daily habits can make a significant impact. Feeling guilty about the four plastic baggies she was throwing out each day just from one kid’s lunch, she started using reusable containers. But she couldn’t find [...]
Review: TinyTongs
Have you seen these? TinyTongs are small durable tongs for children created to help take the mess and stress out of meal time. The design helps kids put more food in their mouths and less on themselves or on the floor and makes meal time fun for everyone!

Date Night In
My husband and I frequently have “date nights” but we don’t always leave the house. I know that sounds weird, but with 4 kids, 2 dogs, and frequent chaos, going out isn’t always a viable option. Many mothers can relate to that with the economy, concerns about job security, and just budget tightening.
So, what can [...]

Long before Martha Stewart began teaching us to “pretty up” our food, my paternal grandmother was making art of antipasti. Before she taught me recipes, her early assignments had me arranging platters of Italian appetizers. I was hooked – a lifelong interest in food preparation began.
The cupcake craze of recent years has been a boom [...]

Marie Callender’s “Bake and Serve” Lattice Cherry Pie
Last night was dinner and a movie night. We try to do a weekly movie night for hubby and I and this week weren’t able to find a babysitter for the twins. Our usually babysitter was busy so we thought we’d just have a night-in dinner and movie night.
My husband got a new grill for [...]
