Easter isn’t just about candy eggs anymore. Sure, there’ll be plenty of sugar-coated and chocolate-dipped treats to go around — but this spring, we’re giving a little love to eggs of the deviled kind. We know what you’re thinking. You’ve probably seen them lying cold and lifeless on a party platter. Or pumped full of mayo […]

We survived the long winter thanks to a steady diet of mac and cheese and chicken potpie. It was a glorious time. But, it was also incredibly difficult to do much of anything but binge-watch our favorite shows. Now, spring is here, and we’re ready for something a little lighter, but still super flavorful and filling (read:

You’ve refreshed your repertoire of easy weeknight meals and are pretty much set with the main course. Now what about the side dishes? You know, the ones where you have the best shot at getting your family to actually eat their veggies? If you’re anything like us, we’re guessing your rotation of boiled broccoli, bagged salad and steamed

It’s time to clean out your makeup bag and upgrade your beauty stash for spring! And while most of us don’t have a massive budget for cosmetics (like, say, Beyoncé and her diamond scrub), that’s okay–it’s just a matter of knowing which types of products are best bought high-end, and which will work as well when purchased from the beauty

Last night’s Mad Men premiere is certainly not something we’d watch with the kiddos (if you haven’t seen it yet, we won’t spoil any details), but it did inspire us to try out this extremely cool, retro manicure. We love that this water marble nail art, although a bit involved, encourages kids to use their imaginations (and

I’m sorry, but no matter how many articles bark willpower strategies at me, in the real world, things just don’t seem to pan out. Fitness buddies flake, eating organic racks up a grocery bill that’s impossible to stomach and, well…the best-laid plans of mice and men and all that. Sticking with good habits is a lifelong pursuit, which, needless

I distinctly remember the first time I read The Secret Garden. It was magical and wonderful and made me search regularly for forgotten keys. I am so grateful my parents supplied me with all sorts of books throughout my childhood. They opened up worlds of wonder that I am still enjoying today. (Me + Harry Potter = 4Ever.) Because of my love

No one enjoys doing taxes, which probably explains why so many of us leave it to the last. Possible. Moment. With Tax Day fast approaching (next week!), millions of Americans are no doubt scrambling to track down receipts, bank statements and other important documents in a bid to meet the April 15 filing deadline. But the more you rush,

Ahhh, spring. With it comes longer days, gorgeous blooms…and lots of exposed skin. There’s nothing more exhilarating than the bright sunny days of this glorious season, and all the fun wardrobe changes that go along with it: bright colors and prints, sleeveless tops and sandals, diaphanous skirts and simple sundresses. The only downside is facing up to your

We’ve all heard the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” What about the apple’s less charismatic cousin, applesauce? Unfortunately, a lot of store-bought applesauce has added sugar on top of the naturally present sugar in apples making it, nutritionally speaking, more of a dessert than a snack. But a way to keep applesauce healthy for your
