An Old Fashioned Girl in a Modern World
One thing I love is options. Another thing I love is reading blogs and scouring Pinterest! Put all of these together around an outdoor holiday and you have a bunch of ideas for a BBQ. I have been collecting ideas for Memorial Day (and 4th of July and Labor Day) for a while now and I thought I would … [Read more...]
After this year, and all of the wonderful plants that I have received from a friend, I am a huge advocate of swapping plants. When I headed to my friends house to grab some of the plants that she so kindly split for me, I picked her brain about some of the best tips for transplanting success. Using … [Read more...]
Last year my family took a trip to Disney World. It was then that I realized how much the magic of Disney captivates everyone, young and old. My parents went with us, so one night we put the kids to bed early and my husband and I headed off like two kids in the night to close down the Magic Kingdom. … [Read more...]
My family loves lasagna! It may be one of the few meals that we all can sit down and enjoy together without a single deviation from the recipe. I love the fact that it can be changed up depending on what vegetables are growing in your garden or in your CSA box! Our lasagna varies from time to time, … [Read more...]
Last week I had the opportunity to have dinner with Jessica Moore, the founder of Philly Cow Share. It was a wonderful dinner made by gourmet chef Linda Geren. Aside from the delicious food prepared around 100% grass-fed beef, the conversation was better than I could have ever expected. Sitting … [Read more...]
In the two weeks that we didn't have a share (a break between winter and summer seasons), I found out just how much I missed the farm and all of the delicacies that come from it. I missed these things a lot. Which of course made it all the more sweeter when the CSA started back up again last … [Read more...]
Last week we had the first CSA pick-up of the season. I can't even describe to you how slowly the two week break between winter and summer shares went. Regardless, the share last week contained collard greens. I thought all week about what I could do with them. I figured I could sauté them, put … [Read more...]
As a Nuby Mommy Blogger I was given samples of this product in return for a review. C and G were super excited to see these sippers in our mailbox a few weeks ago. They came in perfect time, the start of T-ball season! Immediately they asked for me to wash them and after doing so, they … [Read more...]
In return for a post on the aquarium, I was given complimentary tickets for my family and I. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Last Friday, Ben took the day off of work, we packed up the car (okay, that's a little dramatic, it was really just a diaper bag), and we headed to Baltimore. We … [Read more...]
A few weeks ago, I threw cherry tomatoes in a pan according to a recipe that I was making for dinner. Ever since I watched them "pop" and sizzle, and smelled their terrific aroma, I have been dreaming of creating a fresh tomato sauce. After having received fresh asparagus and spring onions from … [Read more...]
