My sister is an amazing cook and baker. She started a blog a couple of years ago to keep track of all of her favorite recipes. She calls it Rozlynn's Homemade Goodness. She never puts up a recipe she hasn't successfully made and isn't amazingly delicious. Last night for our traditional Sunday dessert we had New York Times Chocolate Chip cookies. I originally...
My last post on SWATCH started me thinking about my other favorite accessories as a child of the 80's, the charm necklace. Oh my goodness I remember wearing my necklace with pride (and every outfit) even to church over my Sunday dress. I remember trading them during recess and wondering what cool charm they would come up with next. I wish my...
Anyone out there remember the days when SWATCH was all the rage? I remember when I got my first SWATCH, it was so exciting. I felt so cool with my 5 inch bangs, neon GAP sweater and patterned KEDS. Oh, I also got one of those coordinating rubber watch guards. Totally RAD! The new watches coming out this season remind me of these...
This is a personal motto of mine. There is nothing more fun than ending the weekend with a good show and a chocolate dessert on Sunday night. When I was young (in the 80's) Disney used to show movies on Sunday evening on CBS. Some of my favorite memories are eating dessert while watching Disney with my family. I've tried to carry on...
As I was perusing this month's InStyle magazine (which, btw is an amazing fashion read) I fell in love with all the pastel shoes this season. From Stuart Weitzmen, AGL at select Nordstroms, Stacey Bendet, Guess, J. Crew and the above ice cream inspired Charlotte Olympia sweet treats shoes, pastel footwear is in this season and it is adorable! Now, there is no...
This Valentine's Day my husband took me on a very memorable date. It started off confusing and a bit strange. To begin, my husband is a huge foodie so when we were dating and for a couple of years after we were married, we would go out to eat on the weekends at whatever new/hip restaurant would open in Salt Lake City....
Oh goodness, I need a long vacation from stuff. I re-read my post from yesterday and laughed and laughed. All I kept thinking of is this image (ps, my 4 year old just saw this picture and said, "I want that plate for my birfday!").... Happy Valentines day! And here's to hoping you get to eat some delicious filet mignon and not filet...
I love Valentine's day. It's funny how the meaning of Valentine's day transforms as you grow older. Now with 3 kids, elementary school and preschool it's less about romance and more about getting 50+ valentine cards bought, signed and ready for the class party. (not to mention the time and energy that goes into helping your child find that perfect valentine card that...
We have a wonderful program at my children's school that teaches about various artists called, Meet the Masters. I am one of the many volunteer-moms that teach the kids about artists and their styles. This month we are studying Piet Mondrian. He is commonly known for his paintings using primary colored squares or rectangles and flat black lines. The kids did a...
