Shopping for swimsuits is something I no longer look forward to. Mainly, because they are made for tiny people.  Tiny people who try on tiny bikinis and get all excited about how cute and tiny they look. Me?  I fight the dressing room with a crying baby (who may or may not have...

Hey guys!! So, today I get to share a really fun giveaway with you involving one of my very most favorite things — cute paper products. Or even better — cute, HIGH QUALITY paper products. Have you heard of minted? Minted is an online store that sells gorgeous paper...

I have not always been an “accessories person”.  I was always a little overwhelmed by them — did they make me look overdone?  How do you buy pieces that will go with multiple outfits?  Do earrings and necklaces have to match? Make things too complicated, much?...

As the parent of ONE child, I can tell you that there have been many times over the years that he has been BOOOOOORED with no one to play with. I stayed home with my son until he started kindergarten, and there were many afternoons during those first years that I just wanted a...

If you know me at all, you know that I LOOOOOOOVE candy. And cute stuff. And easy recipes. And my kid. So OBVIOUSLY, I was super excited when I found out that my friend Courtney was working on a book called Candy Making for Kids. Courtney has a super fun party planning site...

If you have been reading my site for awhile, you know that I am a huge fan of any dessert that comes in a jar. I’ve made edible aquariums in jars, frozen pie in jars, and cupcakes in jars, pudding in jars,  and even brains in jars. Seriously.  Obsessed much? What I love...

Because you’re all highly intelligent people (I refuse to believe that idiots with poor taste ever read this blog…I just refuse), I am sure you’ve heard of the ever so lovely Heather Baird, author of the blog Sprinkle Bakes. Heather’s blog is not only one...

Ice cream is an almost nightly thing in my house all year long. But in the summer, it is an afternoon AND nightly thing in my house. As a kid, I always favored Nestlé® Drumsticks®. There was always something magical about the chocolate-coated scoop of ice cream and the hidden...

Cookies are a huge part of my life.  My son loves them and my husband requests that I make some any time he goes on a fishing or hunting trip. One of Jon David’s very first words? Cookie.  Not kidding. So it should come as no surprise that Two Peas and Their Pod has been...
