When I was pregnant with Ginger I planned on NOT having a stroller. I planned on babywearing, as I did with all my babies. Now that Ginger is going to be 5 in August, it was time for her first stroller. Although we will definitely keep using THIS for Disneyland and other crowded places. But there are…

DIY drink tray
Were you one of those people who bought my first ever self-published cookbook in 2009? A lot has changed since then, and a lot hasn’t. Like I no longer list my recipe ingredients right in with the directions. (Hey, some people liked that.) I no longer forget to account for how many servings a recipe…
Our Gilmore Girls Stars Hollow shirt!
So, you know how my girls and I loooove The Gilmore Girls? My husband the illustrator and I designed a Stars Hollow shirt for me you to wear! I started watching The Gilmore Girls back when it was on the WB channel (15 years ago!), and when the DVDs came out it became nightly viewing. Stars Hollow…
My natural skin care
In my twenties, I got some great advice on skin care: Never use soap. *Gasp!* If you’re like I was then, this may come as quite a shock. But the truth is that soap is not good for you, and it causes your face to break out and age. I remember the feeling after washing…
Our Visit to Primal Pastures
Hi all! It’s Andrew, Kelly’s husband, here to tell you about our recent visit to Primal Pastures and offer you the chance to win a box of their primal meats. We choose the Temecula area in California as a place to move to for the reasons like it’s affordability, it’s position between LA and San Diego, etc….
Gluten-Free in Disneyland
Plan your trip around the less crowded times of the week, if possible. We use this Crowd Calendar. Plan your day at the park by using an app. We just started using the official Disneyland Mobile App. It shows where you are in the park on an illustrated map (like a cute Google Maps), tells you wait times…
Oak Glen Apple Picking
About a month ago one of my friends told me about how she almost moved to Oak Glen, CA. I told her that I had never heard of it (we’re new here). She explained that Oak Glen is the heart of Southern California’s scenic apple growing country. There are about ten orchards where people can go for…
patio & dining room before & after
Knowing how much I LOVE seeing inside people’s houses (come on, tell me you don’t try to sneak a peak when you’re out for a walk and it gets dark…) I thought I would share mine with you. I’m pretty crazy about this place, and I’ve been slowly making it feel like home since we…
Our Gluten-Free Getaway in Montreal
Last week Andy and I had a gluten-free getaway to Montreal. We haven’t done something like that, just the two of us, since before Zoe was born (12 years ago)! Andy’s parents live just 2 and a half hours from Montreal on Lake George, New York. So, on Wednesday the 9th we left our girls with their…
Honey Bacon Sweet Potatoes (Kids Who Are INSPIRED to Cook!)
We LOVE sweet potatoes! And sweet potatoes are what Zoe picked for the second dinner she wanted to make us. I think I’ve mentioned it before, but since we are talking about sweet potatoes here, there is a really great book called, Sweet Potato Power, that I love. But back to the kids. Zoe’s idea…
