Today is my birthday! So in celebration, I thought this would a fun recipe to post.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was recently sent a Cricut Expression 2 by the nice folks at Cricut, and I've been busy.

I have to say, there is a learning curve to using your Cricut, so don't be surprised if it takes a little while to get the hang of it. That's what I discovered for myself, and is also why I recommend starting with some easy projects, like those found on the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 cartridge. (Perfect cartridge for party people, btw.)

I spend a lot of time writing about kids' parties, so I thought it was only right to show off some of my favorite grown up parties. Check out how original and creative these are!

I'm seeing a new party trend on the horizon so I wanted to be one of the first to write about it: Lalaloopsy parties.

Lalaloopsy is a line of rag dolls introduced in 2010, and has become all the rage with young girls. Even thought the dolls are new, what's fun about these parties is there's a nostalgic feel to them.  

My daughter, Lainey, will be finishing preschool in June and heading to kindergarten in the fall. This is the first time I'm starting to feel nostalgic. It really is true what they say about being a parent: the days are slow, but the years are fast. Where have these five years gone?

I'm not usually sentimental, but I must confess that when I see people display monthly photos of their babies during their first year at their first birthdays, I wish I had done that. I think I was just too busy and overwhelmed (and sleep deprived) to even think about it.

This easy lemon garlic shrimp is by far our favorite shrimp recipe. It’s got a great burst of flavor garlic butter without feeling heavy and takes about 10 minutes from start to finish.

What we’ve learned is that with shrimp, if you keep it simple, use fresh ingredients, cook the shrimp quickly and on high heat, you end up with something delicate and delicious.
