Which brings me to something I want to share with you lovely dandelion moms and dads – you can grow a baby succulent – without any soil! I found this out…

What’s For Breakfast :: Buttermilk Pancakes
My daughter gets very excited when I ask her on a Saturday or Sunday morning if she wants pancakes for breakfast. I really like the Multigrain recipe I found in Kitchen Sense by Mitchell Davis but this morning I thought I’d try the buttermilk recipe. If you don’t have some buttermilk in the fridge – don’t fret – just add in some sour cream to get the same effect! Enjoy your weekend lovely dandelion moms and dads! These pancakes are really tasty as is, but you can add in some chocolate chips, blueberries, banana slices or even some nuts. I think some chopped walnuts would taste great with…

Tackling Mt. Laundry with the #1 Pediatrician Recommended Detergent
Tackling Mt. Laundry with the #1 Pediatrician Recommended Detergent! My little one loves to play! Whether it be skateboarding, surfing or playing on the basketball court at school – she goes full-throttle 110% of the time. I often dream of bottling up some of that energy and sprinkling it on me when I need it (which is most of the time) but I love that she has no regard for what she is wearing or how dirty she might be getting.
