Best Sugar Cookie Recipe for Cut Outs

It's taken me a while to find a good solid recipe to use for when I want to do sugar cookie shapes with the kids. Yesterday was another snow day so we made hearts and football shaped sugar cookies. Now I can't take credit for the recipe. It's Martha Stewart's but I will take credit for finding it because I have tested out a ton of recipes and this one is by far the best!

Recipe:


I didn't refrigerate it yesterday and it still came out good and fluffy.

Go Red Today For Women With Hypothyroidism


I saw this campaign on Hypothyroid Mom Facebook page.  It's really important to know that hundreds and thousands of people have hypothyroidism and don't even know it. When you have your thyroid  removed you become "hypothyroid" too. Undiagnosed or insufficiently treated hypothyroidism increases the risk for heart disease.

Virtual Assistant & Entrepreneur

I have had the pleasure of being a Virtual Assistant for 6 1/2 years. It's really been an amazing opportunity to connect with Entrepreneurs throughtout the US and have the ability to work for them from home.

If you ever think you need help with your business please contact me. I have branched off and started my own Virtual Admin business in November 2013 when the company I worked for closed. 
 
 It's really amazing learning how companies work and working with them. Being an Entrepreneur is not easy but when you love what you do going to work everyday is truly a blessing!

Valentine's Day Treats

It's February which means the count down to Valentine's Day. This day is always a lot of pressure for the single and not single folks. Honestly I love Valentine's Day because it means the All Star Basketball Tourment is on and that's my favorite. But really who doesn't like to give or receive a heart shaped box of chocolates?! Now there are some really awesome treats you can purchase for Valentine's Day. Think outside of the "box" and be sure to spoil your children, significant other or spouse with a fun treat. Check it out via Woman's Day Magazine.

Stuffed Peppers- Amazing and Easy to Make

I love stuffed peppers. Normally I am the only one who eats them but my little one is now a huge fan so I make them at least twice a month. This recipe is super easy and the two key ingredients to keep them soft and not dry is parmigiana cheese and sauce. 

Stuffed Peppers Recipe:

8 medium green peppers
1 package of meatloaf meat mix
2 cups of sauce
1/2 cup of parmigiana cheese grated
Two eggs
2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs 

Wash and slice peppers into two. Mix rest of ingredients (leave 1 cup of sauce aside) Stuff peppers with mixture. Bake at 375 for 45 mins. Top with remainder of sauce and bake another 10 minutes. Amazing!

Vegetable Soup Recipe For Kids

My little ones are sick and the easiest thing for me to do is make them some vegetable soup. If you know how to boil water then you will know how to make this soup. Super easy. 

What You Need:

Pot of Water: 4-6 cups depending how much you want to make 
2 Chicken Boulion- I like the Knorr big cubes
Frozen Vegtables 
Two eggs
Pasta of your choice

Boil 4 cups of water. Add Boulion. Add pasta of your choice. I would add a quarter pound.  I like to use pastina or orzo since small. Add cup of frozen vegetables of choice. I like the mixed frozen vegetables but if your child is picky then add what vegetable they enjoy. I would let boil 15-20 minutes so vegetables are extra soft easier for little ones to eat. Add two eggs at end. Mix with a fork so they break up well. Let simmer for another 5 mins.

100th Day Of School Project: Spaghetti & Meatballs

This week is the 100th day of school. My daughter had a project due that had to include 100 of something. You could have done a drawing or a 3D project. 

We brainstormed for a little while and I suggested a slice of pizza. She said no how about pasta and meatballs. This is so appropriate because she is a huge pasta lover. I really love how it came out.

Nights like these are slim but I do love them. When everyone is sleeping and I am laying in bed reading a good book. When was the last time you did this for yourself?

Crockpot Ribs- Fall Off The Bone Amazing Ribs

I found this recipe posted by Tasty on Facebook and these ribs are amazing and so easy. They fall right off the bone.

I actually had ribs already cut up separately frozen and used them. Was so good but next time will try a full rack. 

I love a good BBQ but these take ribs to another level. It's a must try!

This is hysterical and so true. I always wake up sweet and ready to conquer the day. 12 hours later I have had enough! 



The best thing is we all go through this. The horror of events that take place through the day and then when they are all alseep you want to love and kiss them up. It's a constant battle of keeping sane while falling in love with them over and over again.

Kidville: Playspace for Children in Westport CT

Need a fun place to take your baby, toddler or child? Check out Kidville in Westport CT. I have been taking my girls here once to twice a week for a year and it is amazing. The staff is so friendly and the place is always clean! They are like family now. They have a ton of different classes and activities for children ages newborn to 6 years old. Ballet, art classes, music classes, gym classes, open space play, you name it they have it!

Contact Tanya to come in to try a free class 203-955 1580  kidville.com/westport



I started off using a groupon that allowed me to try three classes with each kid and then open gym space playtime. My daughters are super close in age but when it came to picking classes we went to a couple some where too old some were too young so I stuck with the open Playspace and my kids absolutely adore it.

In the morning after I drop my daughter off to school they ask me "we go jumpy". I love their expressions when I reply "yes today we can go jumpy."

The minute I pull into the driveway they start chanting "we are here, we are here." They practically run inside. Take off their shoes and run in to play for 45 mins. 

The best thing is the gym is always set up differently every time so the kids AND parents don't get bored of going there. It's really my girls happy place. 

I recently purchased their open space passes 30 for $210! Can't beat it. We usually attend their early morning one. Play and then stop up the street for coffee and donuts. It's an awesome bonding time for me and the little ones. 





Sometimes they put up baby swings. 


Their trampoline is awesome. 








They have big and mini bars.


They even have big and mini basketball hoops



They have a balance beam 


At the end they do bubbles. 



Great open space. Safe. Bright. And ALWAYS clean!!!


Open Playspace is just one of the many activities and classes your kids can enjoy! 

Rockin' Railroad is so much fun too!






I am their biggest fan. Be sure to tell Tanya and Gloria I sent you! Contact Tanya to come in to try a free class 203-955-1580. 



I am not suprised they were voted Best Kids Fitness & Best Place For Kid parties. This place is so much fun and has it all!
