The Epic Decline of my Beauty Routine..

October 23, 2013 by jlpenner Leave a Comment

The Epic Decline of my Beauty Routine..

Raise your hand if you thought you would never change after you had kids.. Lol.. I’m not sure if I was that unrealistic.. but I do know that I did not understand HOW MUCH you will have to change when you have kids.. I had friends that were pre-kid who swore up and down that they would still travel when they had kids. Then.. they didn’t even leave the house for months after the baby was born.  Bye Bye travel. {Read More}

Sunday Night Fish Tacos and 6 More Dinner Ideas

Disclosure: I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and Land O’Lakes. The first time I had fish tacos was 1998.  My hubby and I had moved here to San Diego from Arizona and the new bosses tradition was to take everyone out for fish tacos.  They were awesome.  Battered and fried fish, cabbage, white sauce and corn tortilla.. yum.  When {Read More}

Candy “Corn”ge Slices {White Chocolate Dipped Orange Slices}

Candy “Corn”ge Slices {White Chocolate Dipped Orange Slices}

I LOVE these.. and they are delicious! Unfortunately, not that healthy, though. I had hoped to dye the white chocolate with a natural dye, but it was in vain. That chocolate just seized right up and became like paste. So I switched gears and decided on orange sugar sprinkles, which turned out well!  You could also buy orange candy melts and dip them 1st in the orange candy and then the white on the tip. These little Candy “Corn”ge Slices {Read More}

Won’t You Be, Oh Won’t You Be.. My Neighbor..?

October 18, 2013 by jlpenner 9 Comments

I just took a little walk with my dog.  We live on a long cul-de-sac with 17 houses,  And you know what I realized? I don’t know most of my neighbors.   We have lived here for 10 years and in that time I think only 3 new families have moved in (I do know them).  I guess I have probably “met” about 1/2 of the others from yard sale, a blackout we had one time for a night, walking {Read More}

The lunch you pack is probably going to cost in the range of {Read More}

Polka Dot Shoes.. and Life’s Other Little Happiness(es)

I have polka dot shoes. I got them a few weeks ago on Totsy.  When they came in the mail and I took them out my yougest daughter gasped.. and this is pretty musch the response I have gotten ever since whenever I wear them. It’s kind of funny that something so simple as polka dot shoes can be such a show stopper for people.  People love them, they stop me to tell me so.  My girls see them and {Read More}

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Creamer

October 12, 2013 by jlpenner 10 Comments

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Creamer

This is the real thing, no artificial ingredients.  Pumpkin, spice and cream, all blended together and “yummified”. As a young adult I actually LOVED non dairy creamer.  I have no idea why, but I thought it was so good, no half aand half for me.  As I have gotten older and eat mostly non processed foods I have really developed a distaste for it.  So for me it is all about 1/2 and 1/2 or milk in my coffee and {Read More}
