Don't Need it, Really Want it, How can I justify it?

When I saw this posting on one of my favorite sites, Cool Mom Picks, I got so excited. It's not an iPad, but the digital prints is adorable and potentially more stylish than an iPad. This "clutch" is small enough to put into your diaper bag or handbag or looks great if you're carrying it around.

Easy, Tasty Recipes for the entire family

As spring and summer approach, we all are probably starting to think about eating a bit healthier. Especially since all sorts of fruits and veggies are in season now (not to mention bathing suit season is fast approaching). And, regardless of the season, we're always trying to make sure our bebes are eating healthy.
But who wants to give up some of our favorite things? That's where the Skinny Chef saves the day! Although there are a countless number of resources (many mentioned here before) for ideas and tips on feeding your family healthy meals, this one might just be one of my favorites. Jennifer Iserloh is a professional chef who specializes in taking our favorite foods and making them in healthier ways so that we don't have to give them up and we can even make them for our kids without feeling guilty.

The recipes on the website are broken down into the standard groupings (apps, main courses, desserts, etc) including a Kid Friendly group. She points out the various nutritional benefits of each recipe and even suggests wine pairings to make even the Kid Friendly recipes Adult Friendly.

On her website you can also request a free pdf of her Tips for Busy Moms and supplements to her new cookbook.

Happy Dining (and drinking!)
