Pumpkin Patch Essentials

2014-10-23T08:00:00.000-04:00

It's not uncommon to hear, "I love this time of year," but really I can't stress it enough. From the time school is back in session until after Christmas is the most ideal time in my eyes. Back to school always meant fresh school supplies and new clothes, then we rolled right into cooler weather, apple cider, hay rides, pumpkin patches, Halloween, Thanksgiving and then Christmas. It's always a whirlwind of activities and keeping busy, which I also love. I hope Riley grows up to love this time of year just as much I do. This year we made it to two pumpkin patches, Riley is only one but she really enjoyed the activities we did.

Cooper's Farm is located is the DuBois, PA area and Soergel's Orchards is in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. Both days we picked were beautiful! These farms really cater to children and the variety of activities offered are phenomenal.

When we go out on adventures like this I like to pack as light as possible. One multi-purpose item I constantly have with me this time of year is a pashmina scarf (seen above). I can wrap it around myself, Riley or both if it's a bit chilly, or set it down on places we want to sit that aren't necessarily clean.

There are always yummy treats at these types of festivals, but I find packing some snacks help control how many sweets we consume. Don't get me wrong, the whole family fell for the pumpkin gobs, but having snacks is a healthier alternative as well as a money-saver. These Munchkin Snack Catchers are my favorite. Riley loves Trader Joe's Rocket Ships (similar to Gold Fish crackers).

This time of year, not just when at the pumpkin patch, it's always a good idea to have a hat for your little one. The weather has a mind of its own in our area and go can from sunny and 60* F to rainy, windy and 40* F in a couple of hours.

And, of course, don't forget your camera!

Get out there and explore what your neighborhoods have to offer. So many local farmers benefit from this time of year. I'd love to hear what your favorite pumpkin patch activity is!

2013 Halloween Costume -- The Little Mermaid

2014-10-21T14:47:00.000-04:00

With Halloween 2014 fast approaching, it dawned on me I didn't share Riley's 2013 Halloween costume. Last year was her first Halloween and she was only three months old. There were a couple things we wanted: comfort, warmth and the ability to be pushed since she wasn't mobile.

Introducing, my Little Mermaid...

Everything was handmade and she was one happy little mermaid. We repurposed the costume later for her first birthday invites, the theme was "Under the Sea." It definitely was a costume that had room to grow.

I can't wait to reveal this years costume! What's your favorite costume?

What Are We Enjoying Wednesday -- Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe's

2013-11-27T15:12:00.001-05:00

Boy is that title a mouthful -- pun intended, okay that was cheesy -- alright, alright, enough with the puns.

What are we enjoying Wednesday is where I share a meal we're loving, one we could eat every night.

Road to Riley -- Diapers and Wipes Stock Up

2013-11-26T07:00:00.000-05:00

I found out I was pregnant November 3, 2012. It is amazing that it’s already been over a year and now I have this beautiful four month old baby girl. In the beginning there are so many emotions you are overcome with. I was hoping I would have a healthy, full term pregnancy, I began to wonder what type of parent I would be and if I could raise someone to be a respectable human being. Most of all I began to worry about money. Babies are expensive.

I’ve recently become an avid coupon/bargain shopper and thought I would make the best of this nine month pregnancy and buy as much as I could throughout so I wasn’t swamped with needed items when she arrived.

What’s the most needed item that I can get a jump on, was my first thought, and diapers and wipes were it.

I began to research the best cost of diaper and how many it would be predicted are needed. (FYI the what’s needed chart will vary between babies, Riley needed 6 packs of newborns, some may need more, some may need less and some may not wear newborn at all). Here was what I based my shopping on.

How did we do?

I didn’t get away scotch free not having to run out and buy diapers. We had to run out and buy some newborns because even though Riley was a whopping 8 lbs. 14 oz. she stayed in those newborn diapers for longer than I expected. We’re currently in size two, I don’t imagine we’ll be there much longer, so then we’ll dive into that huge size 3 stash. I did have one extra pack of size one, I held onto them and then was able to include them in a baby shower gift.

This chart is by no means a solid concrete this is how many diapers you need, but it’s definitely a big help to get an idea if you want to jump start your buying.

In addition, my math was simple for wipes, for every pack of diapers I bought a pack of wipes, for every box of diapers I bought a jumbo pack of wipes (3 to a pack kind).

And this is how the stash looked, isn't it pretty?

Meatless Monday -- Butternut Squash Stew

2013-11-25T20:17:00.001-05:00

Welcome to a new week, a short week here considering I only have to be at work three days *extreme happy dance* Another Monday has come that we've tried another meatless dish. I'd never had butternut squash before and one squash (which cost a whopping 75 cents) not only made a large crockpot full of dinner and tomorrow's lunch, it also made 8 baby food jars for Miss Riley. I'm trying to make as much homemade baby food for her as possible and why not kill two birds with one stone.

The baby food recipes will be for another day. Today it's about the stew.

For the recipe you'll need

1 medium onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 carrots, sliced

1 1/2 cups butternut squash, cubed

1 1/2 cups beef broth

1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes

1 can green beans

1 bay leaf

1 tsp. basil

1 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. thyme

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

I put everything in the crockpot on low for 10 hours. Nothing better on a cold November day in PA than coming home to some warm stew in the crockpot!

I hope you enjoy!

Here's our little ham enjoying Light Up Night this past weekend.

Scarf Organization

2013-04-29T11:49:00.001-04:00

My nesting is taking over and everything must be organized, and re-organized...and possibly organized a third time.

I had previously been using the nursery as a guest room and the closet as a linen closet. All that has changed, which when they re-organization is finished I will share, but I was left with a hanging organizer that previously held my towels that was just too much of an organizers dream not to repurpose.

I found the hanging closet organizer at Wal-Mart, I think it was around $20.


Photo from walmart.com

Now two things about me, one I live in Western PA and two I love scarves, hence I wear them pretty much year round due to our temperamental weather. As far as the rest of our winter accessories it's safe to say you WON'T need them in June, July and August...I actually don't feel very safe saying that. Anyways, the idea of packing everything away and pulling it back out doesn't really make too much sense. So the above became our winter accessory/scarf organization.

There are six small compartments and three large compartments, which fit everything perfectly, and I even have a little room to grow my collection!

Starting in the top left and going clockwise I have: Winter Pittsburgh sport team hate (Garrett has just a couple), all other hats, ear warmers and small crocheted scarves and gloves.

Bottom right: crocheted scarves. Bottom left: light weight "fashion" scarves. Top: Pittsburgh sports team scarves and other miscellaneous winter scarves.

Bottom: fleece scarves. Top: Pashminas.

It's so nice having everything in one place and not certain scarves looped around a closet rod and others stashes away in a container somewhere. I think this may be the last organization of these...for now.

Cookies for One, or Two...or Three

2013-04-24T19:17:00.000-04:00

Last week at work we had a potluck lunch and I made Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes. These cupcakes are filled with an egg-less dough ball that is frozen so when they bake you get a cookie dough filling. The cookie batch makes about 3 dozen and my cupcake batter only made 2 dozen. What's a girl to do?

Throw them in the freezer for the next time one of those pregnancy cravings kicks in of course!

The beauty is you can eat these just like this, yummy cookie dough that's safe to eat because there aren't raw eggs in the mix! If you want an actual cookie though just pop however many you want into the oven, 350* for 12 minutes.

Enjoy!

Important Paperwork Organization and Storage

2013-04-22T19:07:00.000-04:00

Even though we live in a digital world, I like keeping paper copies of things. Unfortunately, paperwork can get unruly and often gets neglected. I've set up a filing system for our most used paperwork to help control the situation before it gets out of control.

First, I bought these from Staples. They can withstand a lot more than a regular hanging file, and some components of my system contain some thicker documents.

Photo from Staples.com

My main categories right now are pay stubs, car information, Crosby and Keisel (our dogs), benefits, owner manuals, bills, taxes and Riley. I have this in an easily accessible area so I don't have to go too far out of my way to file something as soon as it's received.

I've had the crate for a long time and can't recall where I purchased it. I see them in Wal Mart, Target and Staples though.

Behind my heavy duty files I have regular hanging files, which are where I store my coupons. I was previously using the binder and baseball card system to organize my coupons, but I found myself getting discouraged from coupons because I was spending so much time clipping, filing and purging on many coupons that were never used. Since I most frequently find my deals by using blogs such as Sisters Shopping on a Shoestring and The Krazy Coupon Lady who tell you which insert you can find the coupon in I decided to change my organization. I now put a small post it with the date of the inserts on the folder and put the entire insert in the file. When it comes time to make my list I pull out my bin and grab the inserts the bloggers tell me to use. It is so much easier, and I find myself being more motivated to coupon again. If I'm making a big trip to Target I'll quickly browse through my inserts and see if I have any coupons for any of the items on my list. Even though this takes some time, it's a lot quicker and more efficient than the time I was wasting on coupons I never used.

Organization for me is very much a personal preference. What works well for others may not fit with my needs. Through trial and error I've killed two birds with one stone (paperwork and coupons). This system has been working for me for a little over a month now so I decided to share it. Hopefully it helps someone else out there. Let me know your preferred method to filing important paperwork and managing coupons, I love organization ideas!

Big News!

2013-02-26T11:45:00.000-05:00

We're having a baby! July 9, 2013 our first bundle of joy is tentatively scheduled to join our family!

This past weekend we went home for a little gender reveal party to share if baby Riley is a he or she!

I made cake pops that were either pink or blue on the inside so everyone could find out at the same time and put them on my new cake pop tree that I salvaged from a toy store who was going to pitch it.

Each pop had a tag on it...

And baby Riley is.........

A GIRL!!!

We're so happy and excited, and so is big cousin Liam!

We can't wait to meet you little miss Riley Jean!

Small Bathroom Organization and Storage

2013-01-17T11:20:00.001-05:00

Our bathroom is small, and it has very limited storage. My husband and I may use one too many products, but that's something we probably won't change. I was thinking of ways to use space I wouldn't normally think of, I previously wrote about Re-Purposing Bath and Body Works Candles, which freed up some space on our shelf above the toilet, but that wasn't enough.

So low and behold while wasting time in Wal-Mart one day I saw a shoe organizer in a whole new way.

It's simple, inexpensive and holds a lot of our products!

Do you have any tips for small bathroom storage?

Re-Purposing Bath and Body Works Candles

2012-11-16T06:00:00.000-05:00

The three wick candles from Bath and Body Works are to die for! They have the best scents and have so much throw, I can't believe it. They're a little pricy, normally $19.50, but I always buy them during one of their 2/$20 sales and pair it with a coupon. Bath and Body Works always seems to have some sort of coupon floating around out there. The containers are also multipurpose so I don't feel so bad about this little splurge. Here's how my bathroom medicine cupboard now looks with these containers.

They're really easy to get to this point too!

Once your candle has completely burned down and the wax is dry put it into the freezer for two hours. When you take it out push a butter knife down into the wax to break it apart. The small metal pieces that held the wick should come up too, but if they don't just wiggle your butter knife under them to loosen them up.

Once you get all the wax out run HOT water into the containers, clean them out with soap and a sponge. After a minute or so of the hot water running the labels on the bottom and front will peel right off.

Fill them up with small trinkets and take a step closer to getting a room organized!

What re-purposing projects have you completed lately?

Pinner Dinner -- Balsamic Chicken, Asparagus and Fresh Mozzarella

2012-11-14T06:00:00.000-05:00

Pinterest, I don't think I could ever describe my love for it enough. One of my favorite things to do is find new ideas for dinner. This recipe included some of my favorite things and I couldn't wait to try it out.

The original pin for Balsamic Chicken and Asparagus came from Maggie's Bites, which has lots of great recipes!

Marinating goodness!

I made a few minor adjustments, like baking my chicken at 375* for 45 minutes instead of grilling, because it's basically winter in PA.

Neither Garrett nor I are tomato eaters, so we left those out.

Also, I drizzled my asparagus with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder and some Parmesan cheese.

Do you have any variations that would tasty?

Enjoy!

Live Sigma Kappa -- A Thankful Reflection on Things Taken for Granted

2012-11-08T12:00:00.000-05:00

Every Thanksgiving, from the time I could remember until 2010, I’ve spent Thanksgiving at my grandparents house with the same spread of food. Delicious as it was, you knew what was to be expected and it was never anything I got overly excited about.

It wasn’t until traditions changed, as family members passed and grandchildren were born, that those little things that came to me every year were no longer a norm. My parents are now the grandparents and we celebrate holidays at their house the same way we did at my own grandparents.

This year, however, has thrown me for a large loop in my holiday plans. My husband’s job requires him to work Thanksgiving and the days following so a trip home is not in our cards. I’ve decided to go on with the most traditional Thanksgiving that the two of us will share together.

I’m very thankful for all of the Thanksgivings I was able to spend with loved ones who have passed and those who are still with me, but this year has me even more thankful and reflective on those past years. I wish I would have spent 10 more minutes at the table instead of napping. I wish I would have paid more attention to exactly how a dish was prepared. Although we’d love to go back, we can’t, so we must learn from the past.

I’d like to share a piece of my family traditions with you in case you too are having to switch up your normal holiday traditions. This recipe is the salad dressing that was used at my grandparents. My own parents haven’t adopted it into their Thanksgiving meal; perhaps it’s what I’ll bring to the table next year.

Things You’ll Need:
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 c vinegar
1 tbsp. celery seed
1 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 small onion
2 c very chilled vegetable or canola oil

Mix all ingredients in a blender, place in dressing container, serve chilled.

Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

2012-10-31T06:00:00.000-04:00

Halloween is my favorite holiday! I love to create costumes and then dress up and go out. Costumes can get pretty expensive, and this year I think we pulled off a great costume on a budget.

We were Doug Funny and Patty Mayonnaise from the 90s Nickelodeon cartoon. All together both costumes cost $13.98!

A lot of the items we already had so it was a great idea all together.

The things that needed to be purchased were:

My blond wig: $6 on clearance at Big Lots
My blue skirt: $3.99 at Good Will
Garrett's green sweater vest: $3.99 at Good Will (it was a whole sweater we just cut the sleeves off)

I had the shirt and pink felt already so I cut out and sewed polka dots on it to make it match Patty.

What did you dress up as this year?

Hot Tools Organization

2012-08-15T08:43:00.000-04:00

If you're like me and have one too many hot tools and don't have the best organization for them, this 15 minute tutorial is for you!

This is what my basket looked like before.

I collected toilet paper rolls in my house for a few weeks and covered them with wrapping paper.

Then simply loop your cords and slip the toilet paper roll over them.

For my smaller barrel curling irons I placed the roll over the barrel and cord.

My basket with all of my newly organized cords.

Hope this helps to get your tools organized!

Meatless Monday -- Spicy Teriyaki Chickpeas

2012-08-13T11:12:00.002-04:00

Prior to this recipe that I adapted from Meatless Monday, I had never tried a chickpea. I was pleasantly surprised how good they were in this dish. If you're not a fan of spicy meals, you may want to hold back on the red pepper flakes. If you like meals with a kick, this is definitely for you!

You'll Need:

1 15 oz. can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup low sodium teriyaki sauce
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 TBS sesame oil
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch chunks
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch chunks
1/2 large onion, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 cup chunk pineapple
2 cups cooked brown rice

To Make:

Combine the chickpeas, teriyaki sauce and red pepper flakes in a bowl, stir and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients. In a large pan heat the sesame oil and add the peppers and onions, saute for about 5 minutes. Add the pineapple and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add the marinated chickpeas and cook for another 7 minutes. Lastly, add your cooked brown rice and stir into the mixture.

Enjoy!

I hope you're enjoying the last bit of our summer months, I know I sure have been. This recipe is perfect to enjoy during our last few weeks of this weather! S'Mores scream summer around the campfire to me, but this new twist allows them to help you beat the heat!

You'll need:
18 graham cracker squares (9 sheets)
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup whipping cream

Melt milk chocolate chips by adding whipping cream and heating in a small bowl in the microwave for 30 second icrements, stirring in between. Evenly disperse the melted chocolate on top of the graham cracker crust.

Top each blob of chocolate with one marshmallow.

Mix the cold milk with the pudding, fold in 1/2 of the Cool Whip container. Top marshmallows with the mixture and freeze for a couple hours.

Take the pans out of the freezer 15-20 minutes before serving, top with remaining cool whip, crushed graham crackers and mini chocloate chips.

Enjoy!

Why Do You Pay Full Price?!?

2012-06-29T09:04:00.000-04:00

This morning I took a trip to Shop-N-Save to pick up some things that were on sale and I had coupons for. Using coupons makes me realize how much money is wastefully spent on groceries. My total before sales was over $91, after sales over $70 and after coupons $29.47. Nearly 65% of my bill was saved from matching my coupons with the stores deals! Here's what I got.

2-12 packs of Lipton Iced Tea, these are great for Garrett to take in his lunch.
4-Jars of Chi-Chi's salsa, a great item to keep in my pantry for Mexican or meatless meals.
2-Jars of Smuckers caramel topping, I'll be glad I picked these up this coming fall for all of those yummy caramel apple desserts.
3-Bottles of French's mustard, we both use this almost daily on our sandwiches.
4-Bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce, Garrett goes through this stuff like water and we love BBQ chicken on the grill.
4-Packages of Dole frozen fruit bites, again great for Garrett's lunch and my own since I can no longer eat yogurt. :(
10-Packages of Chi-Chi's tortillas, these are a staple in our diets and I can freeze them!

Also, earlier this week I picked up these three boxes of Bayer from Rite Aid for.....FREE. That's right not a penny paid out of pocket!

So what are you waiting for?? Get out there this Sunday, pick up your papers, clip your coupons and start matching your deals! There's lots of great sites if you Google, "coupon match-ups" that will lay out exactly what you need to do if you're a beginner.

Double Cheese and Broccoli Calzones

2012-06-08T13:53:00.000-04:00

My husband is fortunate enough to work 4-10 hour days and get one day off each week, along with Saturday and Sunday. I'm also fortunate because he takes care of sweeping, dusting, laundry, yard work and picking up the dogs droppings. One thing I don't trust him with is any type of dinner that doesn't include the grill, so I made these up Wednesday night so all he had to do was put them in the oven. Unfortunately I forgot to take any pictures, so you'll have to use your imagination.

Ingredients
1 Pillsbury Pizza Crust (I recommend NOT using thin crust because these bad boys are filled to the brim)
1 15 oz. container ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 head broccoli
1 egg
2 TBS garlic powder
Salt and pepper

Steam your broccoli until tender, and cut into quarter sized pieces. Mix together cheeses, egg, garlic powder, salt and pepper (to taste) and broccoli in a bowl. Lay out pizza crust and cut in half. Fill half of the side of the dough with the mixture and fold over. Pinch sides closed. Bake at 450* for 15 minutes.

I stretched my dough out and used the whole mixture in two calzones, one batch would be enough for 4 not so bursting calzones though.

Like I said, I made these up the night before and put them in the fridge, I had my husband take them out an hour before they went into the oven to get them back to room temperature.

**I recommend filling the calzones when they're already on the baking sheet so you don't lose anything through the bottom trying to transport them**

I'm going to try making these again and freezing them, it'd be very convenient on the weekends or a night I leave my husband on his own for dinner. It'd also be much cheaper and better for you than ones you can buy in your freezer section!

Enjoy!

Meatless Monday -- Black Bean Tostadas

2012-06-04T19:51:00.000-04:00

1 can of diced tomatoes (drained)
1 bunch of scallions (chopped)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cumin
