Colin’s mother’s family has started holding their annual family reunion on Easter weekend. I really like the idea of helping the holiday to be special by getting together and connecting as a family. This year we’ve got fancy dinners and traditional Cuban food and an easter egg hunt and all kinds of fun planned. I’ve [...]
Some of you may not know that I spent several of my growing up years in Israel. My parents, thinking we’d be living there forever, sent my sisters and I to an Orthodox Jewish elementary school where we learned Hebrew by immersion. We also got some cultural broadening, all of which I appreciate more now [...]
Saturday will be Maggie’s 4th birthday! We’re having a Princess “lemonade party” (little girls’ version of a tea party) on Friday morning for her and we’ve been getting ready for it all morning. Colin started by cleaning up the family room and setting up Maggie’s Hello Kitty tent, which Heidi is more excited about than [...]
Bethany just turned to me, as I was happily facing-book, going-daddy, and brainstorming about the evolution of ENFPConsulting, and said, “I’d like you to go onto my blog and write about How to Title Recipes.” And thus we are. Long before I read Seth Godin’s How to Title Stuff or Alex Witze’s SAA: How to [...]

When I’m pregnant my olfactory sense increases by a few factors and it’s pretty crazy. Those diapers I normally don’t notice [...]

Image via Wikipedia Today, April 30th, is 31 cent scoop night at Baskin Robbins! Really! See their web page here if you don’t believe me. To honor the nation’s firefighters, selected Baskin Robbins stores sell small ice cream scoops for 31 cents tonight from 5pm to 10pm, and they donate $100,000 to the National Fallen [...]

There have been multiple times since I’ve been married when we’ve had to primarily live off of our stored food supply. As a wedding present, someone (I’m sorry to say I don’t remember who) gave us the awesome gift of one month’s basic food storage. Included were things like cans of wheat, rice, macaroni noodles, [...]

Does anyone but me struggle with knowing what the names on cuts of meat mean? I bought a roast on sale the other day labeled “USDA Choice Chuck Beef English Roast.” What in the world….? I learned a while back that “Choice” is a United States Department of Agriculture grade of meat determined by how [...]
