Crochet Baby Turban Pattern
After first seeing a crocheted baby turban via Pinterest, I just knew I had to make one for Ella Rose. I reviewed several hat patterns, and eventually created one of my own that resulted in a stylish mini turban that is too cute for words. This hat requires only basic crochet stitches, and works up fairly quickly. It makes for a great baby shower gift, or if you're anything ... Read More

My Favorite Items for Toddler Easter Baskets
This year will be Max's second Easter, and it's a sure bet, he's much more aware of what will be in his basket now then he was last year at this time. That being said, I have been trying to be proactive in collecting items to put in his basket from the Easter Bunny, just in case his little sister decides to arrive a few days early.

Avocado Jack Pizza
Pregnant or not, I crave Mexican food. A lot. It's one of my most favorite things in the whole world. When I lived in Maine, one of my favorite restaurants, where I also used to waitress back in my college days, offered a grilled tortilla topped with all kinds of Mexican goodness on their appetizer menu. A few years ago, I found myself desperately craving this ... Read More
