I like a nice day with my family but with the caveat that my husband do a bit more of the dirty work than usual. ;) We both work full time. Weekends are for family! 2nd Annual Mother's Day Gift Survey |

This room is one of my favorites I've seen. LOVE the colors. LOVE the robots. LOVE the melted crayon art, type set tray, and other charming details. I will also tell you from experience that having bright colored walls in a nursery make for awesome baby photos. We've got amazing ones of both our kids in front of their brightly colored walls.

We shop mainly two places: Super Target and Sunflower. Sunflower is awesome for produce and dairy, but I'm not a fan of their meat. I like Super Target's meat and they have things like 2% cheese we can't get at Sunflower as well as diapers! The Best and Worst Supermarkets Consumer Reports |

I've been storing recipes on computer since I've been cooking when I was in college (circa 2000). Word files, personal website, blog. I get tons from the internet too, most recently via pinterest. I used to print one occasionally ... that is until I got my Kindle Fire. Now that is a thing of the past too. The only paper that remains are my favorite cookbooks. Even my single cooking magazine subscription has gone digital. Of course my mom's recipe box to say nothing of my grandmas' will always hold a special place in my heart. :) Could Online Recipes Really Replace Mom's Recipe Box? |

I love involving the kids in the kitchen and these are some really great tips. We have special stool (kitchen-helper style) that has been my biggest and best investment for our kitchen. It's their spot in the kitchen and they love it. My sister also read somewhere about a famous chef teaching his kids to chop veggies with one hand behind their back until they got the hang of it and we've been trying it with our daughter. It works pretty well - the no slip cutting board is KEY. Small Hands, Big Help: Practical Tips for Cooking with Kids Guest Post by Sarah Pinneo |

I saw this linked via another website and I had to check it out ... one of my favorite parts is the trap door in the floor with the hidden compartments. Too cool! A Rad Red Climbing Bedroom Kidtropolis |

We've fried a turkey two different ways ... firstly with a the giant kettle over an open flame method and secondly with a counter-top fryer (looks like a big bread maker or fry-daddy). The second method is vastly easier, cleaner and safer. The machine costs a bit more but you save some in oil since you need less so there's some tradeoff there.

I posted on this today! I can hardly keep these around the house they're so popular with my family. We don't core the apples, but we use the dehydrator so it's interesting to have this take on it. How To Make Oven-Dried Apple Chips |

All we've made so far are apple chips, but they've been amazing! Just thinly sliced apples dried for ~4 hrs. And thanks, Kit, for reminding me to try kale chips! Help! I'm Disappointed With My Dehydrator Good Questions |

The Whole Foods Blog isn't a bad place to start ... they advertise some steep discounts on quality meats here and there. Super Target's website also offers their coupons which occasionally include $$ off on something green. Otherwise, for us it's shop seasonal, stock up when it's cheap, all the usual tricks.

I haven't tried much pesto-making since I get really good pesto from our local farmer's market for pretty cheap, but this inspires me to try some home made with different seeds. Why are Pine Nuts So Expensive? |

No idea if this would work for you or not, but we've taken these patches and sewn them on our daughter's Camelbak. They've been a reward for some of the hikes she's been on and it seemed fitting. Ideas To Save & Display Patches Good Questions |
