Here’s my loot: Inventory: Strawberries Blueberries Kent Mangos Valencia Oranges Asparagus Zucchini Crimini Mushrooms Broccoli Fingerling Potatoes Romaine Lettuce Slicing Tomatoes Yes, that makes the strawberry section of this house over done! I wonder if I can freeze the strawberries? Does anyone know? […]
Strawberry Picking – seasons switched!
Strawberry picking is a memory many have from childhood. Growing up in the northeast, strawberry picking correlated to the start of summer, with orchards open mid-June through August. Things are certainly different in South Florida. The thought of walking around outside in the middle of the summer, in a field in looking for strawberries puts […]

Smart Pants Product of the Week: Annie’s Organic Produce Buying Club
Did you watch the CBS video I posted, Chemicals That Make You Fat? Were you as disgusted as me? I’ve never really bought into the organic crunchy lifestyle, but in recent years it’s becoming more evident that the hormone filled steak may not be the best thing for you! With this new realization I now […]

Smart House: Converting the entertainment center into…..I don’t know!!!
[ad#Google in Content] I’ve been having that urge to get something new for the house…know that feeling?! Along came my mom with an opportunity to furniture swap! We swapped my Crate and Barrel Wine Bar for her Pier 1 entertainment center/armoire. My parents finally got a flat screen TV for their family room so they […]
February Resolution: Organization – Next to the Cutlery Drawer
February Resolution: Organization #2 This is the drawer right next to the cutlery. It holds larger serving ware and lots of other miscellaneous stuff. One challenge I had was to incorporate the stuff from the cutlery drawer that I took out yesterday! I also found a ridiculous number of chopsticks from PF Changs to Asian […]
February Resolution: Organization – Cutlery Drawer
I’ve made a resolution with myself – I guess I can’t call it a New Year’s resolution since I really didn’t start it until February. We can call it the February resolution – the February Resolution: Organization! I have nooks and crannies around the house, some larger than others, that are in desperate need of […]

As I was waiting from Tom and Isa to finish the Jungle Cruise I noticed a small crowd forming near the exit. My “I promise I was not eavesdropping” ears heard something about Kelly Ripa […]
Miami Zoo – Fantastic Annual Membership
One of the best gifts have I received as a mommy was a membership to our local zoo, Miami MetroZoo. It was a present back in Fall of 2008. We got such use out of it. The Zoo’s Dual Membership pass pass let me bring one child under the age of 2 (my daughter, obviously!) […]
Cold, with a side of bok choy, daikon radishes and Jeruselem artichokes
The weather is still a bit on the chilly side. I still can’t believe what a wuss I’ve become! I actually wore my UGG style boots today. Just a few wek ago I would have sweated just at the thought of wearing them in South Florida, and here I am shivering wearing a wool sweater […]
Morning Freeze….brrrrrrrrrrrr
It’s the Monday morning cold blues! Wow, woke up this AM to the low 40s in South Florida! Yikes! I grew up in the northeast but I have certainly acclimated in my 4 1/2 years down south. Winters in my book are now filled with days in the high 60s to low 70s. Not any […]
