Quote for the Day

I came across this quote today. Always good to remember:
A torn jacket is soon mended, but hard words bruise the heart of a child. (Henry Longfellow)

Recipe of the Week

I don't consider myself a great cook. 

Being married to a food loving French-Italian who is an amazing cook, it would be putting it mildly to say I have a lot to live up to. Nevertheless, I want to challenge myself to create meals that are both delicious and simple enough for any busy mom to put together. My goal is to find at least one recipe a week that I've tried and tested, and has the "kid approved" stamp to share with you.

Absolute Randomness

by Brooke Gillette

For anything and everything that catches my eye, here there are no labels, no categories, no rules.

The Creative Corner

From crafts to DIYs, useful tips for home-making, to projects and creations. Anything creative will go here. 

I love to try out new things. I've dabbled in cake decorating, jewelry-making with polymer clay, beading, wire wrapping, acrylic painting, crocheting, photography, drawing, paper quilling, hand lettering, and more. 

Here is where I hope to share all of this with you and get your feedback, tips and ideas. 

The Mother Side of Me

This page will be dedicated to my kids.

Being a parent is by far the most important part of my life.

I hope we can share parenting tips, ideas, projects to do with the kids, thoughts on parenting, and all things kid-related.

I look forward to your feedback as we learn from each other and walk this path together. Our kids are, after all, the future!
