I have a date this weekend with a bunch of friends I haven’t seen in almost a year. The first thing they asked me? “Do we get cupcakes?” What was I going to say, no? The only request was that they be chocolate. I could do that. Nothing like starting Phase 2 of South Beach [...]
ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED! WINNER ANNOUNCED HERE! I got a bunch of emails, comments, and tweets asking me to do a tutorial for the giant bulky infinity scarves I’ve been crocheting. Usually, when I get a request for something, even if it’s just one of you, I’ll go for it… So, this is my infinity [...]
I’m extremely picky about products that I’ll accept to try “for the blog”. I’m not one to just try something because it’s free, though there was a time where that was the case. Usually, I’d rather try a new product from a trusted company than throw caution to the wind and try something like dehydrated [...]
Happy Halloween all! I hope your day is full of candy, cute costumes, pumpkins, and fun scares! We ended up with take-out last night (What? I got lazy.) so there’s no dinner post. I didn’t want you all to hang in suspense about the winner of the Blog Anniversary/Thanks for still reading after an annoying [...]
Do not adjust your computer screens!! It appears (knock on wood) that my little blog (and really, it’s little) got hacked by a big bad “worm” known as the WordPress Pharma Hack. In fact, if you google me right now, apparently I’m shilling Accutane without a prescription. It’s a little creepy. In fact, it’s more [...]
Usually, when I mistakenly buy something at the grocery store, I will know what to do with it. Too many mushrooms? No problem! A strange-looking squash? DONE! An extra package of bacon? Is this really a problem? A first for me happened the other day though. I mentioned yesterday that I accidentally bought one bunch [...]
Hi Everyone! Lizz here, from A Little Bit of This and That. While Mara is off jetsetting in Arizona, I get to take over! Muahahaha!! (Maniacally laughing while twisting my handlebar mustache) So here’s the deal…I write a blog that would be most closely categorized as a “Mommy-blog”. I write about all sorts of things [...]
I truly cannot believe I’m actually awake. Camp is kicking my booty (a bit of gained weighed and a long school year will do that to a person!) but I have something really cool for you all. Just a little “Thank You”. See, I’m fiercely loyal to my friends who are loyal to me. I [...]

A couple weeks ago, I was greeted at the door with a HUGE box. Inside the box, was another box. I’d heard from Gen-YKnot, a blogging outreach company, about participating in a Lipton tea review program, and jumped at the chance! We love our beverages around here… Inside this pretty box was a sample pack [...]
I give up trying to be wordless. It just doesn’t happen! So, we’ll call it “Slightly Loquacious Wednesday” instead. A couple days ago I made pork bao buns. They were pretty good, but not perfect. I’ll have to try again. I also made whole wheat linguine with clams. It was amazing and I was [...]
