My daughter had her friends over the other night for a sleepover. My daughter loves rainbows, sparkles and anything “pretty.” When she started talking about having the girls over I remembered the Duff Goldman rainbow cupcakes I made for a party year.

Disney Advanced Dining Reservations and Fastpasses
We love Disney! It is a passion of ours for the past 20 years. This is our first trip in 16 years without children or anyone else accompanying us. We love going to Disney with other family and our children as we can show them all the things we love about Disney. My favorite compliment…
Ginger Glazed Slow Cooker Pork Loin
Last week I posted our menu for the week. It was heavy on slow cooker meals because we are in the crunch time for the end of the school year and all the activities, clubs and classes both of my children are involved in are trying to fit in those last meetings and events. That…
It’s an Irish Weekend
My daughter and I are spending the weekend in Wisconsin so she can Feis today and tomorrow. It’s been fun so far. She got a new wig and a new crown. That is a big deal for her. She has always worn the headpiece that came with her dress but yesterday they had her try…
My Baby Isn’t a Baby Anymore…
Well, he will always be my baby boy. My youngest child. Today he turns 13! I can’t believe my big baby boy is 13! Where did the time go? I swear he was just born yesterday… This baby was going to be a breeze because I had all the answers. His sister had been the…
Lettuce Wrapped Tacos
I love this picture. I can tell we are in Spring and Summer mode for dinners as we start to look for more vegetables and less meat in our meals. I went to the grocery store yesterday to pick up the lettuce and a pepper for dinner and everything looked so good. I was sticking…
Riverdance: Dinner Out

Planning a Trip to Disney World Without Children!
Trying to get back to my Saturday Disney blogging. I miss it so much and after talking about Disney last night with someone planning a trip over Spring Break I decided I needed to revive my Disney Saturdays! It has been slightly more than 16 years that I have planned an adults only trip to…
Homemade “Rice-a-Roni”
I am always struggling with side dishes for dinner. I have no problem with protein or vegetables but starchy side dishes other mashed potatoes or corn, which my family would happily eat every day, are tough. We do eat sweet potatoes once or twice a week in some form but I need something that is…
Fairy Bites
It was a busy weekend for us. My son had Science Olympiad practice both Saturday and Sunday and my daughter had the Girl Scout International Bazaar to get ready for on Friday and the Bazaar on Saturday. One of the things the girls go is sell items, for under $1, that are representative of the…
The Perfect Gift – Happy Valentine’s Day!
, This was my Valentine’s Day gift. No, not this year, but a recreation from our first Valentine’s Day together. We had only been dating for about a month and a half when Valentine’s Day rolled around. I didn’t want to celebrate Valentine’s Day and made that very clear. I wasn’t sure what I…
Baked Pesto Salmon – Update on Those Resolutions
As I mentioned before I chose JOY as the word to guide my decisions and intentions this year rather than make regular New Year resolutions. I really have been trying to keep this word in front of me to help me at those moments I feel overwhelmed or uncertain. It doesn’t mean I walk around…
