Spring Break Change of Plans - Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
Thursday, March 28, 2013 by 5 Comments
As Spring Break approached, I tried to come up with as many half-day outings as possible to keep my kids sufficiently entertained. I figured out how I could wake up early (but not as early as I do on school days) and get a few hours of work done before dedicating the rest of the […]

Walgreens Flagship Store Grand Opening in Washington D.C.
Tuesday, March 26, 2013 by 1 Comment
When I think of Walgreens, I think of a neighborhood drugstore chain - a place I can stop any time of the day to grab some much-needed medicine, a snack, or a replacement lipstick. When I was invited last week to cover the opening of the new Walgreens Flagship store in Washington D.C. I was […]
Pasta Primavera with Grilled Chicken

This is a long-time favorite pasta dish that I don’t cook often enough….but I’m going to try to fix that. I made it the other night and was reminded of how much I love this simple meal. I also love that it’s chock full of veggies. I found this recipe years ago in the Betty […]

I never pictured myself as a business owner. I never imagined that I would feel such pride in creating a beautiful family portrait or sending in an article I’ve written for a national brand. Being a full time blogger along with running a small photography business keeps my creative juices flowing…and I love it! I […]

Friday, March 22, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Before I headed out of town last week (it seems like AGES ago!) I had the chance to take 3 of my kids (the 3 who were not already committed to other weekend activities that morning) to a screening of the new Dreamworks movie, The Croods. Like many of animated kids’ movies, I hadn’t payed […]
San Diego Mountains in Spring - Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
Thursday, March 21, 2013 by 7 Comments
When I think of San Diego, I think of beaches and sun and zoo animals. I had no idea that there was so much beauty just beyond the city limits. (That’s not to say that there isn’t beauty within the city of San Diego….That came out wrong!). While I was in San Diego last weekend, […]
3 Tips for Creating the Perfect Movie Night at Home
Thursday, March 21, 2013 by 7 Comments
For years, when we were in the middle of babies and diapers and not many funds left to pay a babysitter, date night meant movie night at home. Putting the kids to bed, popping some popcorn, and sitting down on the couch together to watch a movie was almost as rejuvenating as getting out of […]
Pork and Cabbage Wontons
Wednesday, March 20, 2013 by 2 Comments
I am obsessed with this recipe. I was craving wontons the other week, finally found wonton wrappers at the grocery store, and experimented with some of the ingredients I had on hand (I couldn’t find any wonton recipes that used cabbage and carrots, but they sounded good and so I figured I’d give them a […]
