What kind of mom am I? I dare to say that I, Kristen…mother of three, am a very selfish mom. My youngest daughter turned one this past Sunday. The weekend before we had a family birthday party for her and my good friend Sara made her a gorgeous individual cake to dig her little hands [...]

Some Like it Hot… Some Like it Really Hot

May 4, 2007

A couple of posts ago, I wrote about my introduction to a tasty and addicting product from a company by the name of Nando’s. This stuff is amazing!

My good friend Kathy and I, along with our husbands, went to a Giada De Laurentiis book signing a couple of weeks ago. We were 4 of about 1,000 eager fans who were lucky enough to get tickets to the sold out event. We were all anxious to find out if Giada is the "real [...]
