Toffee Apples

So with the rumblings of Halloween everywhere I was reminded yesterday of the somewhat bizarre and of course twisted Halloween traditions I grew up with in England.  I was walking my son home from school and he said mommy “clap your hands”.  I did and out popped this tremendously scary skull out of a bucket.  I can’t tell you how much I screamed and then realized this was part of the lovely decorations put up for Halloween.  The amount my son laughed though reminded me of Halloween while growing up in England. I enjoyed them thoroughly, though looking back they were completely twisted and morbid!

RED VELVET BEET CUPCAKE

It is natural as parents to want our children to enjoy themselves as much as possible.  And when more than at their birthday party?!  All this stress and pressure to have a good time can often lead to tears and frustration, and I don’t just mean for your toddler (I think I’ve cried for one reason or another at just about every party I’ve had)!

Rosie Pope Maternity Fall 2011 Collection
I simply love fall fashions.  They tend to be more tailored and extra cozy to move us into the colder months.  I know it’s hard to think about fall when you’re still sweltering in the heat, but it’s going to come before you know it.  As you start thinking about your fall and winter maternity wardrobe, I wanted to give you a sneak peak of some of my fall collection, as well as some styling suggestions for accessories that will help complete your look.  Enjoy!

Pampers prints blogger day

I have the great pleasure to be working with Pampers and recently was invited to their Cincinnati headquarters for Bloggers Day.  My work with them so far has entailed supporting the new Limited Edition Prints that Pampers launched for this summer and they had invited a group of top 14 mommy (and dad) bloggers to design their own prints for diapers for me to judge and to possibly be used on diapers in the future.

William and Kate First Kiss

Hellooo!  After an action-packed week in the UK, I’m finally getting down to some very serious business that I’ve been neglecting: the Royal Wedding!  Yes, I know that today is Will & Kate’s two month anniversary, and yes I know you are probably wondering why I haven’t written a blog post about it yet. Well, I think at the time I was swamped in a daze of sleepless nights and reality TV.  Now that that’s subsided a bit, I thought it only appropriate to turn back to this most important of events.
