We might as well call the holiday season “pie season” if you ask me. That’s honestly what it is—or at least what it should be. Who’s with me? Even if you’re not (and we’ll settle this later), Thanksgiving and the winter holidays create t…
The long season of "eat, drink, and be merry" is almost upon us, so it's time for you pregnant, breastfeeding, or abstaining-from-alcohol mamas to consider what you'll be sipping from now until the ball drops on another year. Fortunately…
We have featured so many fun Halloween posts this year--and years past, too--featuring our favorite Halloween ideas of all kinds. Including the last minute ones. We're talking dozens of recipes for treats both healthy and uh....well, you…
Candy may be the only Halloween treat that my kids are interested in, but with Halloween falling on a Friday night this year, I’m also looking forward to a fun Halloween cocktail to usher in the weekend. Whether you want a sweet sip, a s…
When celebrating Halloween with little ones, there’s a fine line between fun creepy and scary creepy. Lucky for me—a firm believer that the creepier the better—my kids are finally old enough to handle scary Halloween. I’ve spent a lot of…
Of all the throwback candies, candy corn reigns supreme. More than just nostalgic, it is among the most popular Halloween candies year after year. (Because it's awesome, that's why.) It’s also the inspiration for these fun, delicious can…
If you're having a big Halloween party this year, it's always so much fun, but it can be crazy trying to get all that appropriately fun, spooky food pulled together in time. So I'm happy to share some of my favorite semi-homemade Hallowe…
Last year I threw an awesome Halloween party for my kids. (Really! There’s video , complete with Halloween dinner recipes , to prove it.) It was a blast, but now my kids want to do it again. I'm game—anything to show off my rockin' Cleop…
I'm taking a stand: No more seasonal cookie cutters for a single use. If I can't use the cookie cutter for multiple purposes I'm not buying it, and I don't think you should either. Now we just have to figure out how to use the pile of co…
Halloween parties may be the most fun for me, because there are just so many cool Halloween party ideas, especially for kids. Instead of just going with a standard "Halloween" theme, you can get more specific and find a theme that lends …

Though I'm watching my Fourth of July plans wash away thanks to a mean storm working its way up the east coast, I'm hoping that many of you will be able to enjoy making these fun and easy red, white, and blue Fourth of July crafts for Fr…
I'm okay with the fact that most holidays involve a lot of cooking, but a party on the 4th of July should be easy and laid-back, summer style. Put out some sparklers, throw food on the grill, make lemonade—and maybe a pitcher of one of t…
We've talked Mother's Day brunch , Mother's Day dinner , and every Mother's Day recipe idea in between. And you know what every one of these meal ideas comes down to? Dessert. Because, at the end of the day, that's what Mama wants: A swe…
It's funny that Father's Day recipes are always hearty dinners like steak or chili, while Mother's Day tends to focus on light brunch. Don't get me wrong, I love a good brunch (and we've got plenty of Mother's Day brunch recipes to show …
They say that to take care of anyone else, you first need to take care of yourself . This year I'll prepare to show our planet Earth Day love by first showing myself some love with one (maybe two?) of these eco-cocktails made with organi…
We've been looking forward to Easter for a while now, excitedly collecting Easter recipes. Most are decadent sweets—from Easter cakes (lots of cakes) to cake pops —but we've thrown in a few healthy Easter snacks , too. Because children c…
Most cakes for Easter are elaborately decorated beyond the point that I'm interested in or, um, able to take on. Tired of gawking at fabulous no-can-do cakes (you know what I'm talking about), I decided to find six easy but cool cakes fo…
Provided you're not giving up cute sandwiches for Lent, we are so taken with the round up of healthy Easter treats for kids on the Red Stamp blog, including these totally adorable Chicken and Egg Cookie Cutter Sandwiches . While I'm not …

Charoset, a deliciously sweet spread made of fruit and nuts served at Passover seder , is one of the most popular—and meaningful—foods of the holiday. More than that, charoset is as wonderful on any table as it is at the seder, stirred i…
At first I thought that Valentine’s Day on Friday was a good thing. What a fun way to kick off the weekend. But now I’m wondering when exactly I’m supposed to make treats for my kids? I guess I should have thought of that last weekend bu…
