In The Kitchen
Family Travels
We finally moved. Finally. It took over a month longer than anticipated to renovate our new home, and at times it seemed like we’d be in limbo forever, without a kitchen, eating out every day, and squeezed into one little room. But we are finally here in our new family home, and we love it. […]
What do you do when you’re married to a caveman who wears the same thing every day? How about buy him what you’d like him to wear? My husband always wears faded blue jeans, the kind that scream “cop!” but (as I’ve mentioned quite a few times) I always preferred a bit of a preppier […]
Those pants would be PERFECT for my fiancee! He likes to wear the same pants all the time, which would be fine if they weren’t worn out jeans that have an indent now from where his phone rests.
They look terrific on him! Never thought to shop there for the guy, but I sure do shop there myself!
Hubs refuses to wear dress pants EVER so he needs a pair of these for church.
Wow, they really are versatile. My husband is a jeans guy also and I can’t remember the last time I saw him in any other kind of pant, lol.
I wonder if my husband would wear these.
Not sure if my hubby would wear them or not.
I love that they can be dressed up or down! I think he looks great in them and don’t think my husband would mind this small, yet stylish, clothing upgrade.
Nice jeans! He looks great in them.
They look great. I bet my husband would love them.
What a great looking pair of jeans. I’ll have to pick up hubby a pair.
I love a pair of pants (for men or women) that are versatile… dress them up or down.
Those are great jeans! My husband used to wear horrid jeans, they were TAPERED! Agh! After 12 years, I’ve spent enough time shopping with him that he’s actually developed a personal sense of style and now does his shopping on his own. He shops for clothes more often than I do!
Those are some really great looks!
They are nice jeans!
They look nice. My husband can wear jeans to work so he is always looking for different styles.
Those pants really look perfect on him! Perfect choice, Penelope.
he wears them well. very nice sleek and casual as well as dressy
I don’t think my husband would wear those – he is so picky! Yet, those look really fab.
Gap is the only jeans my husband will buy. Love the Gap!
He is definitely rockin’ those jeans!
The pants look great!
I love Gap but yet to ever buy the hubby anything from there.
Those are very nice!
Our hubbies sound similar.. I think I married a caveman too, who wears those blue jeans every day that he doesn’t work! My hubby won’t wear khakis, but they do look great!
Gap is one of my favorite stores for my husband and son!!
They seem like a good choice for a guy who prefers casual, but wants to “step things up” once in awhile. This way they still have the comfort of jeans.
Those are great. The boy have several pair of the 1969 Gap jeans and I love them.
I love all the versatility in Gap jeans!
these looks fabulous! I should get a pair for my fiance!
He looks very daper in those pants!
At first when I read Slim Jeans, I thought “my husband would never wear those”. But while they’re slim, they’re not like women’s skinny jeans.
Those look great! I should get my man a pair!
I love how you can dress them up or down. That would be a hit with my husband.
I love the quality of GAP clothing. My husband only owns one pair of jeans! He prefers khakis and that’s what 70% of his wardrobe is!
They do look good. I just know my husband wouldn’t like them.
I have a pretty hectic schedule. I take care of three men, and the smaller they are, the more they need from me. I’m the cook, maid, chauffer, nanny, and more, all rolled into one. The only difference is I get paid in kisses, and that works just fine for me 🙂 (their kisses are […]
It wasn’t until I became pregnant that I really started to commit to taking vitamins daily, and now they are a regular part of my life. I took prenatal vitamins for years (while pregnant and while nursing) and in addition to the many health benefits, found I loved how they made my hair and skin […]
the other day I had a vitamin get stuck in my throat these sound great
I really hate taking vitamins and also like Tricia,I’ve had them get stuck in my throat before. Once that happens I get upset and refuse to take them anymore. The Vitamelts would be perfect for me. I wish they had a multivitamin option though.
I’ve always tried to make healthy eating choices but still take my vitamins daily!
Because of my son’s autism I have learned a lot about the human body and how supplements can make a huge difference in a person’s life. We use a lot of good quality supplements in our home.
I was thinking the same thing!
That looks amazingly delicious.
Hoping my health foods store carries this brand!
Wow, that’s pretty neat. I have a good friend who does not like to swallow pills and this product would be perfect for her.
I really need to turn off the computer – OR TV – and go to bed earlier. Sleep is one of the things I really need to improve!
Vitamelts sound like a product that I could really use. I hate swallowing large pills.
Great tips.
Healthy snacks sound better than vitamins.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely try to drink more water over soft drinks!
I just saw a commercial about Vitamelts last night,and I was going to come look it up today. It’s fate! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I try to all of your tips, but chips sound much better than an apple to me. That’s a hard one!
I love the vitamelts. I have a bunch in the b12 and vitamin c!
Those are great tips to get healthy!
I take my prenatal now but after nursing I’ll need to continue – going to check these out! 🙂
This looks tasty
That looks nice, I”m terrible about taking vitamins.
I’ve never heard of vitamelts. I’ll have to look for them.
I love my nature made!!
I have switched out unhealthy snacks for veggie chips and fruit and have switched from diet soda to water all the time.
I used to drink a lot of soda when I was younger, but only drink it once (usually a Sprite) in a blue moon. I can’t drink too much of it when I do, because it makes me feel sick. I also swear by vitamins. 🙂
I’ve been much better about taking my vitamins lately.
Great tips. I was never an apple fan until I discovered Honeycrisps!
I take several vitamins daily including calcium, Fish Oil and a Daily. I am now eating healthier and quit drinking pop. I’m feel amazing!!
I love my vitamins and always include them as part of my personal health regime!
I need to be more mindful in choosing water over soda.
I love the Vitamelts! I don’t even mind taking pills, but they taste good &so it tricks me into remembering to take my vitamins because I want those little yummy melts!
I actually do all those things for the most part. I’ve been closing the lid to my laptop an hour earlier, actually, at least 3 nights a week, to spend 30 minutes alone time with my hubby, and getting to bed 30 minutes earlier. I’m working on making this a nightly thing. 🙂 As for vitamins, I was great about taking them during my pregnancy and the year I nursed, but I am horrible at remembering to take them on a regular basis. :/
I love these, I will have to see if our store carries them. We are trying to get healthier as a family and head to the local basketball court and track to have some family fun time while getting exercise.
Apples are a great way to get the crunch of chips and get full in a nutritious manner!
I love Nature made. Thanks for the tips.
Every once in a while I crave time with friends, a girls night where I can forget about bills and deadlines and errands and just be silly with my friends. My best friend and I have an awesome time baking and trying new foods and beverages together, and during our last girls night we made […]
Congrats on the first meal in your new home!! So happy for you!! And I love my Le Creuset French oven!! Yours is beautiful!
Nice! I love spaghetti, too. 🙂
Looks delicious! &Congrats on finally moving! {BTW, I’m totally adding that pan/pot/whatever you’d call it to my wedding registry!}
a great first meal in your new home! Spaghetti is so comforting and your picture looks so yummy and perfect.
Isn’t the first real meal in your new home the best? It makes it all real
!
Lovely pot! Looks like a tasty meal too.
Spaghetti is so simple yet a staple comfort food in our house!
Awww what a lovely meal for the first meal in your beautiful new home – can’t wait to see update pictures of how it’s coming along and I’ve been wanting this pot – same color too! 🙂
I love that pot!
Love Le Creuset and your spaghetti looks wonderful.
This looks delicious and I love that pot. It sounds perfect for our needs!
Spaghetti and meat sauce is one of my favorite meals. Congrats on moving. We’ll be moving in two weeks. I honestly hate moving.
Congrats on the first meal in your new home!
Congratulations on your very first meal, and it looks delicious too!
One of my favorite things to cook is spaghetti too. I have been making my own homemade sauces.
Congrats!! What a great feeling. Comfort food seems very perfect!
That looks delicious!
Yay for first meals in a new home!! You got me in the mood to have that tonight!
LOVE Le Creuset — I have a few pieces but would definitely take more!
What a perfect dinner! That is one of our favorites too!
What an awesome dinner! Congrats on being in your new home! 🙂
Glad you’re all moved in!
congrats on the move!
Definitely a great meal to start out your new life in the new house!
What a gorgeous pot! Congrats on moving in to your new home. I can’t wait to see the reno photos.
I have one of these pots and it is my fave! It’s always on my stovetop and I love that I can use it for so many meals!
I only have a few pieces of Creuset, but love them.
what a great pot looks deilcous
Congrats on the new home.
This sounds delicious and I am so excited for you to be in your new house! What a beautiful French Oven – I just adore the color!
Oh man, I want one of those pots. I love enamel coated pots, they are great because they do not leak toxins and can go from stove top to oven.
Spaghetti is my go to meal… who doesn’t love spaghetti? 🙂 Your sauce sounds almost like mine, too. I’m so happy for your Penelope, being in your new home! I can’t wait to see photos!
That looks super yummy!
I love that blue color. What a beautiful piece of cookware, and then of course, your meal looks so good too!
I have to admit, I don’t like bolognese, it’s too dry. We like a lot of sauce and a little noodles 🙂 But I’m swooning over your Le Creuset, it’s so pretty! Must weigh a ton though.
Mmm one of my favorites
Congrats on your move! Wow, it must have felt nice to cooking in your new kitchen and sit down to enjoy a nice, home-cooked meal. Looks yummy!
So excited for you that the renovations are finally done! I know what a long drawn out process this has been for your family from selling your first home to moving into this one. Now you have more space, and obviously a great kitchen to cook in too!
That looks really good. I have always wanted to try this but for some reason thought it to be much harder. Will definitely follow this recipe!!
Congrats on being in your home Penelope, how exciting. I still say your bolongnese sounds delish
I have a few casserole dishes from Le Creuset and LOVE them!
