Ultimate The Walking Dead Gift Guide

So I’ve fallen behind with my Episode recaps and thoughts for The Walking Dead. In fact, I posted my thoughts and recap for the first episode of this season and I haven’t posted one since. In my defense… Well, no I really don’t have an excuse. Just that I haven’t done one! But I have been watching the show and I am waiting, mostly patiently, for the season to resume in February. I’ll start doing recaps for Fear the Walking Dead which returns in August of next year. Anyway, I wanted to share with you my ultimate The Walking Dead Gift Guide. In case you have a rabid The Walking Dead fan in your life- or if you are that rabid The Walking Dead fan….

How To Avoid A Tax Audit

I try to keep good financial records, especially as I prepare for the end of the year when I want to calculate my finances (earnings and expenses) for my taxes. Is it a fun process? Absolutely not. But it does pay off, at least from an organizational stand point, to keep track of everything related to the blog. If I should venture further into working at home, which I plan to next year, I’ll up my game a bit when it comes to keeping track of finances. But, even if I’m incredibly prepared (or at least as prepared as possible) a tax audit could still be a possibility. Sure, it’s never happened to me but that doesn’t mean that it couldn’t happen to me in…

I love this time of the year! Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays, with Thanksgiving a close second. I also love to celebrate other holidays and learn about them with my kiddos. With Squeaker just turning 2 this year, we may not do too much but we’ll definitely start celebrating more next year. In addition to Christmas, of course, we’ll talk about Christmas around the world, Kwanzaa, Diwali, and Hanukkah. To help us get into the mood, I created a holiday themed printable set. And as a bonus, I also have a Winter themed printable. Or this could be useful if you don’t celebrate any of the above holidays. These are all 5×7 and in .jpg format but you should be able…

Have you ever had a cheesesteak sandwich? Well, if we’re going to get technical, perhaps I should call it a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, hmm? So have you ever had one? It’s one of my most favorite sandwiches, ever. I mean, how can I not love it? Steak, melted cheesy goodness… smothered in sauteed onions and peppers. Yum. I had my first cheesesteak sandwich from the Cheesesteak Shop in Berkeley. And then, when my mom and I were in Philadelphia some years ago, I had a cheesesteak in Philadelphia. Regardless of where I’ve gotten it from, it’s always been one of my favorite sandwiches. So why not try it in some other form like a casserole? Enter the easy cheesesteak inspired casserole! Featuring most of…

All opinions are mine alone. #NaturallyCheesy #CollectiveBias Squeaker’s birthday party was this past Saturday (on her actual birthday- the 5th) and we had a small, intimate celebration that was also our first holiday entertaining event of the year. It might also be our last because it still proved to be more than enough for this introvert, but it was still a lot of fun none the less. We also managed to stay within our minimal party budget so that was a definite win for us. And I am more than happy to share my budget friendly entertaining tips with you. We tend to allocate the largest chunk of the budget to food and…

Easy Everyday Cleaning Tips

Cleaning and I have a complicated relationship. Of course, I understand that it needs to get done. I try to clean everyday, even if it’s only five minutes per room, per day. There are certain things that I do tackle daily and other things that I tackle weekly. Is it my favorite thing? Absolutely not. But, at the same time, I also can’t stand clutter… and I’m a bit of a control freak and a recovering perfectionist. Cleaning is also one of those things that just needs to get done, no matter what. And that’s why I’ve come to rely on easy everyday cleaning tips to turn sometimes overwhelming tasks into manageable bits. According to a recent survey by home cleaning experts, over half of…
