Forgive my absence, my friends! I am still here and still tied to Penelope’s Pitstop. Not only am I working hard on getting Tippie Toads going and keeping up with those orders, I am juggling 3 kids, a husband, and a sick doggy . And I thought I would have MORE time this summer to [...]
I have gradually worked my way into this crazy world of Tippie Toads. I am having so much fun doing it! Today, Tippie Toads is officially in the lunchbox business! I am so nervous wondering, “What if?” What if people don’t like them? What if the designs aren’t cute? I am over-thinking it, but mostly [...]
Oh my word! I mean gluestick. I set about to find a great theme for my precious one-year-old’s birthday. Having three boys, we have already had a whole lot of great boy parties to date. But, I wanted something special for #3, yet something still “baby-ish”. As I perused the Internet, I decided a monkey [...]
I discovered these great ladies the first season my son started playing Little League in The Woodlands. They are a local company, but will ship anywhere. I noticed all the mom’s wearing cute baseball shirts with lots of bling to the games and soon figured out E B-Dazzled was the place to go. Here, the [...]
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. [...]
My friends, every once in awhile I find a foodie blog that I think is particularly exceptional. Sometimes I like the author, the pictures, the recipes. In the case of Bake at 350, I love it all. I found Bridgett at Bake at 350 via The Pioneer Woman’s recipe site, The Tasty Kitchen. Once I [...]
Here at Penelope’s Pitstop, we have given props to some Tulsa locals and it’s time to give some Woodlands props! A well-deserved praise at that. I ”got to know” Cindy at The Woodlands Family Magazine (click for a digital version) a little over a year ago. We are cyber friends, hopefully to meet someday soon. [...]
Texas Tables is yet, another fabulous cookbook that would be a great last minute Christmas gift! I love Junior League Cookbooks not only because they have great recipes, but they are getting prettier and prettier. This cookbook is beautiful! So for the pretty cookbook collector, this cookbook is as much of a “must-have” as it is [...]
The past two weekends I have made it to two of my very favorite places to shop…Holiday Markets. I love the boutique shops, I love the feel, I love the spirit of Christmas, I love it all! My sweet friend, Liz, who made it to one of the markets, sent me the website for one [...]
Anybody like to cook? I have discovered a fabulous cookbook…a Junior League Cookbook, at that! I think Junior League cookbooks are some of the best. Texas Ties is the cookbook for the North Harris County and South Montgomery County Junior League (aka The Woodlands, TX area). It is a hardcover book with over 350 wonderful [...]
