Kid's bedroom series: Ren's Hulk themed wall gallery.

Ren's Hulk room is a work in progress. It is just about where I want it to be, thanks to this gallery finally being up. Ren and I chose the photos together for his wall. I wanted some of him with his brother and sister, and he wanted one with Cate, his cousin. My sister Jaime designed the prints. I love them. The Hulk piggy bank is from a store in Seaport Village (San Diego) called American Nostalgia. I think you can buy it online, too.
 The sand timer I found randomly at TJ Maxx. I love it in this gallery. (When I first brought it home I teased Ren that it would be his time out timer.)
 One of my favorite photos of Ren. Completely captures his sweetness.
 I love this print. The font is awesome.
I will post the rest of Ren's room soon. I just have a few more items to hang for it to be complete.

Teacher Appreciation Gifts. By color.

With teacher appreciation happening this week, I knew I wanted to do something nice for my 3 kids' teachers. I fell back on my usual gift ideas, and did a combination of chocolate, gum, and goodies from Bath & Body Works. All women like those things, yes? And, yes, I'm kind of a color coordinating freak. I love things to match, so I first chose 3 chocolates at Target and then went to their dollar section and found a few things that matched the chocolates.  How cute are these pink and white thumb tacks? The little sticky notes are a very light shade of blue that I thought worked with the turquoise. And I loved the purple pencils and purple paper clips, too.  I made sure to get 5 small things for each teacher. Bath and Body Works always has cute little sanitizers, sprays, and lotions.   The white scalloped edge tins I found at Target in their party section with all the wedding stuff.  Luckily I had filler leftover from Easter, and I always have tissue p

Party 101.

I remember when my oldest son was 4 years old, and I wanted to plan a birthday party for him. I was overwhelmed with how to go about planning a birthday party for little kids. I wasn't sure where to start. All I knew was that he really wanted a Thomas the Train theme. Cohen, at his Thomas party. Up until then, we had always done birthday parties with family only, and they were simply eating a meal (often at a restaurant), opening presents, and having cake. This would be our first friend birthday party, where we'd have to plan activities and food for all the kids. I so wanted to have a party that was memorable for my son and his friends.  I emailed a friend of mine and asked her for advice. She gave me some great tips that I've used in all my parties since. My twin sister, Jaime, also has been a great source to turn to. She throws a mean party and is crazy creative. O ver the years, I've also learned a lot of things from trial and error, lots of trial and err

Recipe Share: Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats

My sister introduced me to this delicious Nancy Fuller recipe . It was so tasty and pretty quick to throw together. I made a few tweaks to it, but mostly followed the recipe.  Ingredients :  4 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise 1 Tbsp. olive oil 8 ounces sweet loose Italian sausage 8 ounces hot loose Italian sausage (I used 16 oz. of all sweet Italian sausage and squeezed it out of the links, since that's the only kind I could find.) 1 clove garlic, minced 1 small onion, chopped 2 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped (I just used about 1/2 cup of marinara sauce) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 C. Parmesan, finely grated 1/2 C. mozzarella, shaved 1/4 C. breadcrumbs (I used Italian seasoned panko breadcrumbs) 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (I prefer flat leaf parsley) Directions : Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  With a teaspoon, scoop out the flesh from the inside of the zucchini, so they look like boats. Place the boats in a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Chop the zucchini f
