I am a pretty enthusiastic thrift shopper – I like the thrill of the hunt, the uncertainty, and reusing an item with plenty of wear left.
All winter long I looked for toddler snow boots and couldn’t find a single thing and now that it’s summer, they’re everywhere!

Next to the Cricut, the Cuttlebug is one of my favorite scrapbooking/cardmaking tool.
Embossing is what I use my Cuttlebug for mostly – the added texture gives each little card or page something special. And Provo Craft has bunches of beautiful embossing folders to choose from. At only a few dollars each, I want to own them all…

So as much as I love scrapbooking, I just really don’t have time to do it. I’ve discovered that I can only do one or two things at a time – I can either blog or exercise or scrapbook or have a clean house. (I exercised for the first time yesterday in a looong time. I attribute this to my decision to blog a little less…)

One of the best parts about scrapbooking are all the fun tools you get to use in the process. I love tools, especially those that I get to operate a little bit, like the Sizzix Sidekick. I love that it’s a “manual” tool – it makes me feel like I’m being useful.

This dessert is the best. It’s one of those that I just can’t control myself with. Forget intuitive eating, and meet Scotcheroos.
I grew up eating Scotcheroos, a family favorite in desserts. I think I’ve mentioned before how my family is really into dessert and we have to have it at least once every day. Scotcheroos are easy to make and delicious to eat. You can go make them right now cause I’m giving you the recipe!

I don’t know how many times over the last several years that I have thrown up my hands in frustration over a cheap iron. No more. For Christmas this year I got a Rowenta “Effective” iron that is fabulous.

My mom got my sister and I this cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld, who developed the recipes after enduring constant battles with her children to eat their vegetables. She says in the introduction that the idea for this cookbook came about when she was making a sweet potato puree for the baby and macaroni and cheese for the older kids. She just threw some of the sweet potatoes into the macaroni and cheese…the kids loved it! They had no idea that they were eating their disgusting, healthy vegetables!

We love games in our family. Both my husband and I grew up in game playing families and so we’ve carried that tradition on together.
