Easter Crafts – Easter Straws

I am starting a new series today of Easter crafts – one or a two a week until Easter, which is March 31st this year.  For my first craft, I thought it would be fun to make brightly spring-colored drinking straws for Easter this year.  They will add pops of color to your Easter dinnerContinue reading “Easter Crafts – Easter Straws”

What to Wear – St. Patrick’s Day Parade

I used to go to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Boston’s Southie EVERY year.  You’d wear green, dress in layers, have some Guinness – it was always a blast.  I haven’t been in a couple years (you can imagine why – a little someone whose name begins with a Z) but if I wereContinue reading “What to Wear – St. Patrick’s Day Parade”

Grilled Veggie and Goat Cheese Sandwich

For lunch I usually eat something boring like a Lean Cuisine or turkey sandwich.  The other day we had some leftover goat cheese that had to be used up and I recalled an episode of Giada at Home on Food Network where she made a delicious grilled vegetable sandwich with goat cheese spread on theContinue reading “Grilled Veggie and Goat Cheese Sandwich”

We were up skiing over the weekend and on the second day we were very cliche and while the men skied, my mom,Continue reading “What to Wear – Pistachio Green”

Review of essie Repstyle Nail Polish

I’ve been seeing essie’s new snakeskin magnetics repstyle line at CVS and Target for a while now and I finally bought a bottle to try. I was very skeptical if it would work or not – you hold the magnetic cover over your nails and it instantly creates this snakeskin pattern – how?!  I know patternedContinue reading “Review of essie Repstyle Nail Polish”

It’s Going to be a Dottie Neon Spring

After I posted about Spring attire last week, I realized that most of the clothes I’ve bought for our little Z for the season are either polka dot and/or neon.  Certainly not a bad thing!  Here are some other cute things I scooped up for her: Robeez bow crazy mini shoez in hot pink! babyGapContinue reading “It’s Going to be a Dottie Neon Spring”

What to Wear – Business Event

I had an event to go to for work Monday night and I didn’t want to wear a tired old suit so instead, I jazzed up a cute black jumper.  It was still conservative enough for the type of event I was attending, but it allowed me to add some flare and personality.  Here isContinue reading “What to Wear – Business Event”
