Stir fry Curry Tofu with Cashews and a Sneak Peak of another Item from the Giveaway!

Just got back from another trip, this time from Saurgerties, NY (post will follow soon!)and wanted to cook something healthier than what we’ve been eating during our vacation.

When there are Potatoes, there’s a Meal to be Made out of it

It’s one of those mornings where I wake up and think, there nothing to have for breakfast!

Keen Water-shoes One Shoe for All your Travels

We arrived at the park the other day and it was too cold for the sprinklers, even though it was on. It was the first time this year the girls had seen the sprinklers on and they were excited and ready to hop in. We didn’t have their bathing suits on, but wanted them to…

Acting out Three Little Pigs using DIY Puppets
