I stumbled upon these darling personalized melamine plates the other day, LaPlates, and I can’t get my mind off of the possibilities! I love cute things and to have that cute thing monogrammed or personalized not only makes me happy, but my kids LOVE things with their names on them. A way to stake a claim on what’s [...]
Oh, friends. My chocolate-loving friends tune in! Have you heard about CHOCbite, yet? This fabulous new chocolate company is from Austin, Texas and the owner, Adeline is so great to work with. The concept of CHOCbite is to make-your-own chocolate bar. It’s amazing. Just go to their website and click on “Build Your Own.” From this [...]
There is nothing I love more than finding a fabulous new website/blog to read….especially if it has good information and is a productive use of my precious little time. The Gracious Pantryis the newest blog in my repertoire. I recently completed 65 days of the Candida Diet (in two parts). I did it because I had [...]
If you are from the Houston area, then yes, it’s true. I am blogging on a gas station. But this is no ordinary gas station, my friends. When we moved to the Houston area two years ago, I immediately started noticing people wearing shirts with a big beaver on the front. Adults and kids alike. [...]
I recently discovered new baby food in my grocery store. In fact, I have been quite impressed with lots of new items I have discovered for babies since my (almost) four year-old was born. However, the Plum Organics Baby Food just might take the cake. I am not the only one who thinks this, as [...]

For those of you who don’t know, I have been on a drastic diet…the Candida Diet. I eliminated all refined sugars, yeast, gluten, salt, caffeine, and spices from my diet in order to help my body take some time to heal its many symptoms. As hard as it was, it worked like a charm. I [...]
Wynne’s Day… For Christmas a few years ago, our mom gave Penelope and I these really cool pineapple corers. This nifty little contraption will cut the yummy portion of your pineapple and take the center core out… all with a twist of the wrist! The coolest part is that it also preserves the “shell” of [...]
Look how cute these are! For the last minute Valentine gift-giver…like me! Check out these hand dipped and hand decorated candy heart chocolate covered Oreo cookies. They come individually wrapped in a cello bag and red ribbon. Each heart shaped Oreo cookie features 1 of four messages; Text Me, Bite Me, Love You, Or Miss You. Candy-covered Oreos? [...]
Wynne’s-day… Check out these Chile Grills. I received a Chile Grill as a gift last year and used it all summer long. I grew jalapenos in my garden and this was the yummiest way to cook them on the grill. Chile Grills are heavy duty iron and will readily stand up to long-time use over the heat from a grill.
