Sometimes you just have that one friend who finds a squirrel joke funny. I oddly have many. To them I give my 1 am ambien induced art creation. You know who you are. If you have no idea who this is for or why a squirrel joke may be funny, it's OK. Go ahead and pin and tweet it anyway using those buttons on the side. Your friends will thank you for it. Oh, and then follow me on Pinterest. If you are the type of person who pins pictures of a blind squirrel searching for his nuts, I totally want to be your friend. ...
Denver Broncos Cocktail Recipe
Looking for an adult Denver Broncos Cocktail Recipe for the big game? This one has been a hit at our house. 1 part blue Curacao 2 parts Orange Patron Liquor (or you can use Vodka if you don't want it as sweet) 2 parts San Pellegrino Blood Orange Soda How To Mix the Denver Broncos Cocktail Recipe: Start with all well chilled ingredients. Pour the Soda into a glass and let it settle a bit. Add the Orange Patron or Vodka. Using the back of a large spoon pour in the blue Curacao to the middle of the glass. Do this slowly and carefully or you will end up with a green drink. If that happens, let it settle and you may be able to save it. Note: an orange colored sugar rimmer may be a great addition here depending on your glasses. In mine it takes away from the look. Need some more game ideas? I have been collecting some over on my Pinterest Football Food Board ...
Ghirardelli Chocolate Peppermint Bark Snowflakes
After my last post mocking the people of Pinterest that produce these gorgeous things no mom can ever live up to, I am a bit embarrassed to post my latest project: Ghirardelli Chocolate Peppermint Bark Snowflakes. Last year I fell in love with Peppermint Bark Snowflakes that I saw on Pinterest. I became a little obsessed. The problem with these is that you cannot make them without this specific mold (affiliate link) Well, you can make them in other shapes or in a pan and break them up but let's face it, you are looking at these because they are simple and make you look like a genius. And that my friend, is all in the mold. I purchased my mold in November last year and got the first one by New Years. I turned around and bought a few more and they arrived by Valentines Day. *sigh* You may be out of luck for this year but it is cheap enough to try and put away until next like I did. OK, are you ready for this crazy complicated recipe to making you look like a genius? Ghirardelli Chocolate Peppermint Bark Snowflakes Step 1: Go to the store and buy Ghirardelli Chocolate Wafers. I bought these bulk bags at Sam's Club for $7.50 a piece. You need both Dark and White Chocolate. ...
The Real Moms of Pinterest Revolution #RMOP
Oh Pinterest. I love you so. The beautiful photos you post inspire me to bake beautiful cakes, dehydrate orchards of apples, redesign my home every season, and dress my children in perfect matching clothes at all times. NOT. What you really make me do is feel like a massive failure. And a little snarky. WHO has time for this stuff? Really? I am a working, homeschooling, traveling mom that has no time to color spaghetti (which actually doesn't work unless you use professional dye that they never tell you about). So when I saw this photo from SnarkECards on Facebook this morning I wanted to jump up and down on my couch shouting YES! THAT! And apparently I am not the only one. Holy FB reactions Batman. Apparently a lot of moms feel this way. So I started my own pinterest board...The Real Moms of Pinterest . Right now it just has one lonely pin. But couldn't this be awesome? Real pics of real lunches. Like the carton of ice cream you gave them, not the themed bento box. What your kitchen really looks like, not the Martha Stewart version. Who's with me? Anyone brave enough to post what the Real Moms of Pinterest actually live like? I will. Here ...
Jet-setter Update
After just returning from Texas, I am setting off for a weekend in Detroit. While both trips have very different goals-Texas was for Carter's health and Detroit is for work, they have one thing in common-I am pulling my hair out trying to stay organized in the air, on the road and inside my suitcase. Which is good news for you. I have picked up a few more tips and tricks that may help make your upcoming holiday travel a little bit easier. While I am not really jet-setting, I do feel like I am hitting the road hard lately and from how sick I keep getting, it is hitting back. My Phone Holy Moly y'all (my new Texas word) I did it. I cut the iCord. Verizon sent me the new LG G2 and I fell in love. Of course the love may have been helped by my new loathe of iOS 7. I'm sorry, but ever since Steve Jobs has passed Apple just cannot stay competitive in my mind. Where they were once an innovator, nowadays it seems like all they are doing is playing catch up to the Android market. The G2 uses Snapdragon technology (don't worry, its just a fancy word for fast) to make everything load so much faster and multitask between all my social networking. Google Talk makes Siri sound like my ...
