One of the perks of my job is reviewing things. This time I got to review applesauce. Applesauce?! you may be asking. Yup and it was delicious! This isn’t your ordinary applesauce though. It’s local, made in Colorado and organic! They have apple juice, applesauce, flavored applesauces, flat fruit and more. My kids went bananas [...]

This is a revival of a past post. This recipe makes me happy. I still giggle and cheer when I see any of my friends proclaim they are making this and it has become a staple in my own home for kid friendly dinners. We may live in Colorado, but Carolina pulled pork is forever [...]

Gnocchi with Vodka Sauce

I love gnocchi. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Nothing is better on a cold day than a plate of warm gnocchi with a thick and rich sauce. In the summer you can lighten up with a bit of olive oil and herbs. Last night I was experimenting again. Making my own vodka sauce, and came up [...]

How to Make a Mini Photo Album
Posted February 24, 2013 by Emily
I love getting all crafty. Recently, I was going through a tub in my basement marked “#CraftyCrap” (natch) and found this mini photo album I made waaaaaay back when I used to be a Close to my Heart consultant. I love it because it is from when Carter (now 8 years old) was first born. [...]

Apple Banana Bread (National Banana Bread Day!)
Posted February 23, 2013 by GuestBlogger
Papa Knitschmidt has quite the sweet tooth and likes to bake. He has made some amazingly yummy treats! When Chalupa Boy was a baby I worked for Papa for a while. There was always some kind of mini candy bar or chocolate nugget of one variety or another in the jar on his desk. But my favorite days were the ones when Papa had been baking and there was something wrapped up waiting for me.

Posted February 20, 2013 by Emily
I’m always looking for the latest and greatest in the tech world for Autism. With AAC devices costing thousands of dollars, most families are switching to an iPad and some really decent apps for their non-verbal autistic kids. AutisMate is one of those apps, but is more than decent. AutisMate combines an AAC (Augmentative and [...]

One of my favorite places to shop is World Market. I was just there last week, in fact. Where else can you find a rustic wine rack, unique jewelry, an eclectic painting, one of a kind bath salts and modern furniture all in the same store and all so chic? They also sell Fluff! In Colorado, [...]
