This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Prang. All opinions are 100% mine. From the time my daughter Emilee was a little girl, I knew there was something special going on whenever she had a crayon or magic marker in her hand. Something would settle in her, she would focus, and while all this creative energy was bouncing around in her brain, she would produce these amazing works of art for her age. I was caught in between the tension of wanting to encourage her gift, but at the ... continue reading...

100 Inexpensive Ways to Give Your Kids a 1980’s Summer
I'm a child of the 80's. You know, the 80's? When times were simple and we spent endless hours outside in the summer riding bikes, swimming, playing hopscotch and staying out until the streetlights came on? Yeah, those 80's.

25 Delicious Pasta Recipes
When I hear the words "comfort food" my mind automatically turns to pasta. There is just something soooo good about pasta and cheese and sauce and cheese and pasta and cheese.......you get the picture! I grew up in an Italian household (my dad is straight off the boat) so pasta (or macaroni as we called it) was a staple in our home. I also loved how I could just pop by my Grandma's house and she could whip up some sauce (yes sauce, not gravy - but that's an argument for another day! ha!) and ... continue reading...

I'm happy to announce that this sign went off ... continue reading...
