Posted on July 8, 2008 - Filed Under Mama's baby, Uncategorized, dessert, pasta | 2 Comments

Ever since my birthday about two weeks ago, I have been mildly obsessed. Okay. Completely obsessed. With what? Buttercream frosting. The name itself just rolls from the tongue in sweet harmony.

I should have known that Paige would be gung-ho about eating regular foods . . . after all, I am her mother.

“Mommy, I want this,” Will said to me the other evening, holding up a bottle of pancake syrup - the kind I wish I could banish from our house since it is anything but natural. However, Will and my husband love it so it remains.
“That’s syrup, sweet pea. You can’t just eat syrup! That goes [...]

The heat wave in New England has subsided. After day after day of intolerable heat, it was cool yesterday (while it rained) and warm today. Thank goodness. The stifling heat is just too much for this pregnant woman to take.

Sunday afternoon was a blast. My good friend Virtual Frolic, Will and I went to Jones Family Farms in Shelton, Conn., to pick strawberries. It was the perfect day for it — not too hot, a nice breeze and a good amount of sun.
As a little girl, I used to go strawberry picking with my [...]
