Welcome to my world. Peek into my life.
I’m so excited you’re visiting.
Now that you’re here let me pour you a cup of coffee (my super-love), and we’ll start chatting.
How about we start with food? I spend a lot of my time in the kitchen. Last night, I made Easy Pad Thai (a huge hit) and tonight it’ll be Sweet Potato, Kale & Black Bean Fajitas.
This morning, I grabbed a Healthy Breakfast Cookie as I ran out the door.
Do you have a favourite recipe? Leave the link, I’m always looking for new ones.
I’m also looking for some more fun crafts. I’ve enjoyed making Paper Stars, Glitter Shoes, and JBird’s Toddler Bed Canopy and the girls have loved crafting too! From Dyed Pasta Necklaces to Tie Dye Sharpie Shirts, we’ve had such fun!
I’m a collector of tips and tricks. Recently, I posted my printable packing list. What’s your best tip for travelling with children?
I hope you’ll poke around my place some more and find something you like.
I’ve love to have you join me on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. {Or subscribe to my Feed} AND I’d love to join you – leave your “info” in comments!
Cheers, and thanks for stopping by!
Happy SITS, Carolyn. Thanks for the coffee break this morning (and the recipes).

You’re welcome Angie!
Happy SITS day! What a wonderful blog you have. The layout is amazing.
Many thanks.
You’re so cute! Stopping by from SITS! I’m looking forward to reading more :)
As for traveling with kids . . . my favorite trick is Mommy’s ‘surprise bag’! I collect cheap items, such as things from the dollar store, and put them in a bag. Every so often I pull something new out of the bag to keep them entertained!
Welcome, I hope you enjoyed looking through some of my posts.
A surprise bag is a great idea, thanks!
Hi Carolyn,
I’m fueled by coffee, too. Nice to meet you and happy SITS day! *coffee-toast*

Happy SITS Day!
My “baby” is 17 now, but my best tip for traveling with her when she was little was a Barney tape/cd in the car. To this day, I know all the words to The Wheels On The Bus. :)
Hi Lisa, thanks! We have a few movies for kids. Life savers for sure!
Happy happy SITSday to you congratulations!!!!
I love your blog design :) although I’m not a coffee drinker (Gasp) I’ll hangout amd have tea instead.

What a beautiful blog…HAPPY SITS DAY! Cannot WAIT to read about those 10 minute brownies, girl. Hopping on as a new follower. :)
michelle @ this little light recently posted..Miscellany Monday
Thanks! I think you’ll LOVE the brownies.
Happy SITS Day!!! Love your blog. I think the most important thing when traveling with kids is to have a variety of activities for them. Also….purchase a few things that they have never seen before so it will be a surprise when you travel. They might stay interested in it a lot longer:-) Enjoy your day in the spotlight!!

Happy SITS day! So excited to check out your blog. I love recipes!

It’s so fun over here. I must join SITS, I’m part of Britmums in the UK but must find something in the US too…
Jody Brettkelly recently posted..Finding your lucky shoes
Oh you should join. You’d love it and the people would love you.
I wonder if by association (my Mom being born in UK) I can be a part of Britmums. Just a thought….
Congratulations on your SITS day. I hope it’s a fabulous day for you.
Your toddler canopy is beautiful. Off to read more.
misssrobin recently posted..The Kindness Project — 6 Months In
Thanks. I’m probably going to have to make another one soon. Thumper is at the age where she wants everything her older sister has.
Does latte’s count…for that is my drink of choice – have to get my milk consumption in some where, right? ;) Looking forward to checking out your other posts. My children are craft enthusiasts too. About half of my blog posts are ‘kid craft’ related, so you may enjoy having a look around my blog too. I love connecting with other Mommy’s so count me in as a new follower on facebook, twitter, and pinterest! Happy SITS day to you!!!
Kim recently posted..Ladybug Art
Completely. Lattes are my favourite.
Thanks for the follow, I have poked around your place!
I love your printable packing list! My only tip for travelling with kids is “ELECTRONIC GAMES”!! Happy SITS day!
Jester Queen recently posted..Spiderweb
The packing list has saved me!
Happy SITS day! I am always envious of people that are craft inclined! I haven’t got a crafty bone in my body!
I’m not as crafty as some others, I’d say I’m more of a craft hack :)
Loving this SITS welcome post girl! Well done with all the fun links! Happy Sits Day!

crafts, cooking, coffee and kids….hmmmm – some of my favorite things in life too. Happy SITS day! Thanks for the healthy breakfat cookie recipe. Cookie and breakfast don’t usually go together – and especially not with healthy mixed in – very creative!
Barb – The Empty Nest Mom recently posted..From Farm to Table
They are my favourite things too! I think you’ll enjoy the Healthy Breakfast Cookie.

Happy SITS day! It’s so nice to meet you. I love cooking too although I would say my blog is more about DIY projects and crafting. However, I do post recipes frequently. Here’s one of my favorites: Green Goddess Enchiladas – http://littlegreenbow.com/2012/04/green-goddess-enchiladas/ I’m looking forward to trying out your breakfast cookie recipe.
