Mom Style | What I Wore This Week 02.22.12

This week has been a whirlwind! From New York Fashion Week to a PSMM Workshop to a mom blogger event yesterday in Philly, I have hardly had time to catch my breath. And today I’m catching a train to Nashville for a blogging conference. On Thursday, I didn’t have time to grab a photo of [...]

Udi’s Gluten Free Brownie Bites

It’s no secret, Udi’s is by far my favorite brand for gluten free treats. It is hard to find cookies or muffins that rival the real deal, but Udi’s manages to make not one, but three varieties of each that I absolutely adore. Their snickerdoodles are by far and away my favorites, but I also [...]

Blissdom Advice

I realize that 90% of my readership — okay maybe 98% — is not going to darken the door of the Opryland Hotel this weekend, so if you skip this post, I promise to still be your friend. But don’t go far; tomorrow I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled programming — such as it [...]

Pampered by ULTA

I always wonder what it must be like to be a movie star or someone who has a personal makeup artist to make them look beautiful every day. I’ve always struggled with makeup application, and I never turn down the chance to sit in a chair and have someone else take over. At Dawn and [...]

Fashion Friday: New York Fashion Week!

fashion week

Yesterday was pretty quiet around here. Could you hear the pin drop? THAT is because I got up at the butt-crack-o-dawn to train it to New York City for two fabulous events at New York Fashion Week. Did you know that Starbucks opens at FIVE  in the A.M.? Yes, FIVE. I predictably left my carefully [...]

Mom Style | What I Wore This Week 02.15.12

shopping day

This week the theme is RED! (You’ll see what I mean.) I’m joining other moms around the blogosphere, sharing some of my outfits from the past week, and linking up with several of the fashion carnivals. I’m always trying to find that perfect marriage of chic and comfy. It’s a work in progress, but it’s [...]

Baked Asian-Style Salmon

My family is fond of Ina Garten’s Asian Grilled Salmon, so I decided to adapt it for the cold weather we’ve been having and bake it instead. I don’t know about you, but there’s no way I’m standing outside in 20-degree weather to man the grill. It’s so easy. It only requires four ingredients. And [...]

You may remember that back before Christmas, I participated in an ambassador program with YouGiveGoods where I coordinated a food drive to benefit the Pottstown Cluster. I’m proud to say that as of January 18th, the following delivery was made to the Pottstown Cluster: 2 Cases of Peanut Butter 2 Cases of Jelly 1 Case [...]

{Gluten Free} Weekly Menu Plan

mpmpencil

Meal planning has been touch and go around here, but this week it’s on. The rest of the month is kind of CRAZY with a day trip to NYC on Thursday, a PSMM workshop this weekend, an event in Philly next Tuesday, and my trip to Blissdom next Wednesday through Sunday. Meal planning is going [...]

Fashion Friday :: Mom’s Wardrobe Staples

essential-wardrobe-for-mom

I’ve had a few people ask me to write a post about wardrobe staples that should be in every mom’s closet. I suppose this varies depending on your lifestyle and career choice, but I’ll assume that we’re talking about a non-professional wardrobe here. I’ve spent the last few years trying to build a basic wardrobe [...]
