With February literally right around the corner (ahem, Saturday folks!) I thought I would create a bunch of blank "love note" cards for my littles and Clif.

Oh my gosh! How cute is this book!! And even though I am partial because of the cute little pea and carrot on the cover I really must say that "You are the Pea, and I am the Carrot" by J. Theron Elkins is one of the sweetest children's books I've read. … Continue Reading...
As much as I dislike when the big box stores push one holiday's decor out the door to prep for the next before the last one has even had it's day in the spotlight I gotta tell ya I just love, love, love when all the Valentine's themed candy hits the stores. There is just something about all that pretty pink and red … Continue Reading...
Since I have school-aged littles I thought a fun Valentine gift idea would be to give them cute Valentine-y Bingo cards where we could play number bingo and practice our number recognition at the same time.

They moved all the way across the country to New York this summer so I thought I'd send them something all "lovey" and "cutesy" to decorate their new home. Everyone needs some fun … Continue Reading...
Today I thought I'd share with you one of our family's favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes. This one is super awesome for a couple different reasons. Number 1...it's Gluten-Free! Can't beat a great tasting gluten-free cookie recipe, that's just the cats pajamas if you ask me. Number 2...It's made with a touch of sea … Continue Reading...

Here is a peek at our family Christmas card from this past Christmas 2013! I have to tell you, I am always so happy that I spent the time and effort to get our Christmas cards finished and printed every year. No matter how crazy that time of year can be, it really is nice to look back through the years and see how much my … Continue Reading...
First off, can I say thank you for all the kind comments and emails regarding the new look of Smashed Peas and Carrots. It was really a labor of love to get everything switched over and categorized correctly and I do so appreciate those that took the time to tell me what you thought! There were a few little hiccups, one in … Continue Reading...

I am in love with all things glittery and gold these days, seriously In. Love. So it seemed fitting to make these fun Glittered Chalkboard Ornaments (that also double as a fun gift tag!) for Jo-Ann's new #fabulouslyfestive campaign.
