Today, I’m sharing four, new movie reviews from our AFI Top 100 Movie project. You can find each of our his and hers reviews here, but for those of you who aren’t familiar with the project, Keegan and I are working our way through the American Film Institute’s 100 Greatest American Films of All Time…
So, I’m a little late to the Crazy Rich Asians party. This book was recommended to me about a year ago by a friend, and I snapped it up pretty quickly. Then, I sort of forgot I had it – despite the fact that it’s been buzzed about for a while. And, I’m pleased to report…
Let’s just start by getting the obvious out of the way. This is not health food. This is cheesy, beefy goodness. Please send my apologies to your swimsuit. But, I don’t think either of you will be disappointed. Outside-In Cheeseburgers Serves 4 Ingredients: 1 lb. lean ground beef Block of sharp white cheddar Worcestershire sauce…

This summer, we’ve been exploring Kansas City like crazy. After months of Saturdays dedicated to dance practice, naps and errands, it’s been fun to revisit favorite adventures. One of the places Ellie most enjoys going is Sea Life Aquarium. It’s small in size, which makes it perfect for little kids with short attention spans. Also,…
While Keegan was away for work a few weeks ago, I decided to make a Mediterranean inspired dinner for Ellie and I. I liked the idea of something casual where we could build our own plates. This sort of set-up is typically a hit with toddlers, because they can opt out of things they don’t…
Have you seen these build your own s’mores bars that have been popping up lately? The idea is really simple.
