I was thinking about making Valentine’s cookies this year. I usually just buy the refrigerated pre-cut version, which are adorable and delicious, but thought I’d look for a good cookie recipe and give it a try. I’ve been browsing around for creative Valentine’s cookies and here are a few of my favorites. Zebra Striped Hot [...]
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to Thanksgiving “Take 2″ on Saturday where we will be eating again and celebrating with a different set of relatives. To keep us busy until then, my mom and I will be doing a little shopping today. We aren’t die hard Black Friday shoppers though and [...]
It was a day like any other. I woke up and went down to my chilly basement office. Around 9 am my phone rang. It was my mother sounding very stressed saying turn on the news, a plane had hit a building in New York. I calmly told her I had the radio on and [...]
We wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day today. We plan on picnicking, playing, and doing a lot of relaxing today. The weather is supposed to be beautiful here in Cleveland (finally!) and we hope to enjoy every minute of it, while also taking a moment to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. We hope [...]
My Mother’s Day 2011 started out with a bit of sleeping in, a nice long uninterrupted shower, a Mother’s Day breakfast cooked by Tired Dad Dave, Kora, & Logan, and many many handmade Mother’s Day cards and gifts to open from the kids. It was a relaxed and fun morning. We were going to head [...]
I have to be honest…I scheduled this post last night so I could sleep in on Mother’s Day. I’ve been battling a nasty cold and right now my bed sounds so warm and comfy that I plan to spend most of the morning in it on Mother’s Day! I am excited though for today because [...]
Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 8th and I can’t wait! Kora and Logan have been working on Mother’s Day projects at school and have been making me random cards throughout the week for “Valentine’s Day” – they get a little mixed up but it’s still so cute! I’m excited to see what they’ve been [...]
I hope everyone is having a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day. I always think St. Patrick’s Day is such a fun holiday between school parties, parades, and fun recipes, it just puts a nice spin on what would otherwise be an ordinary day. I always try to dress Kora & Logan in something green and if [...]
Kora & Logan love anything artistic. They color, draw, & cut every day. Coloring books, paper, crayons, and markers were at the top of their Christmas list this year. I know they didn’t get their talents or love for art from me, but I do enjoy encouraging it. That’s why when I came across Crayola’s [...]
Have you seen a movie in IMAX or at the Great Lakes Science Center’s OMNIMAX Theater? It’s an incredible experience! It’s as if you are part of the movie and often feel like you are running, swimming, flying, and more. We took Kora & Logan to the OMNIMAX Theater recently to see Dolphins and they [...]
Kora and Logan are really into the holidays this year and this just might be the year they have an “Unwrap Attack.” What’s an Unwrap Attack? Remember when you were little and you could hardly wait for Christmas to get here? Every day you asked, “How many more days?” and with that exasperated look, your [...]

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I was very excited for the opportunity to interview Melissa d’Arabian from Food Network’s Ten Dollar Dinners. I loved watching Melissa on Season 5 of The Next Food Network Star and was so happy when she won. She’s a mom of four children and I felt connected to her [...]
While on the Marshalls and T.J. Maxx Blogger Event last week, we felt like we were in a holiday wonderland. Between the decorated trolley complete with electric fireplace, mantle, and stockings and the Christmas carolers who greeted us as we walked into headquarters, we were surrounded by the Christmas spirit. The theme of the event [...]

We had quite an adventurous Halloween weekend filled with a trip to Michigan to see family, a hospital stay by my dad who is fine now, and a very cold trick-or-treat complete with lots of laughs and lots of candy! Kora & Logan had the chance to trick or treat with their cousins and they [...]
While checking out the newest designs of holiday cards at Shutterfly, I was amazed at the options I had never before thought of… folded or flat, color or black and white, matte or glossy, tradition or contemporary, single picture or collage style, 5×7 4×8 or 5×5 sized, and should I get the address labels to [...]
