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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Just a quick post tonight… I’m gearing up for the PanCAN Purple Stride 5K tomorrow! I’m walking it, but I’m still excited! So, the winner of the Camelbak Groove bottle goes to comment #37… Congratulations Alison! I’ll be sending you an email soon to get your mailing address, and Camelbak will be getting you your [...]
Instead of a Wordless Wednesday this week, we’re going with a different W that I don’t talk about on here a lot. Water. I don’t know about you, but I drink a TON of water. I mean, about 100 oz or more per day. It started as a habit when I first started Weight Watchers [...]
