Happy Monday everyone! This is my Mingle and I think I forgot to mention Gordon Ramsay is on tonight. Master Chef is a show I love. Love it! So excited. I would watch that guy hang wallpaper or read a phone book, because he is just that entertaining. Have a great week! 

I have to get me one of these! Seriously. There are few characters and shows my whole family adores as much as this one. Phineas and Ferb. We watched all summer last year and it is our fun favorite when we travel. Always on Disney channel. Always available when we get to take a trip to Disney. Perry, the Platypus is one kickbutt super agent pet. Who thinks of this stuff anyways?  So when I read this ->PHINEAS AND FERB: THE PERRY FILES DVD with Digital Copy and Perry Activity Pack available June 5th! I was over the moon. Yes,…

Cooking With Kids is my regular series in which I am in the kitchen with (you guessed it!) my kids. So what are we making this week? Oh my heavens, we made the most delicious quiche with a little help from Tenderflake pie shells. I love those gorgeous and yummy pie shells. They cut down on my frustration. I haven’t made quiche since I was a 12 year old or so. It was a big hit then and it was a big hit this week too. So here it is: Start with Tenderflake pie shells In a mixing bowl add:…

You know how brands are always trying to breed the chip with crackers to make something more healthy than a chip and less boring than a cracker? You know how it never, ever works? The cracker ends up being too much like a cracker still to pass for a chip? Well, my friends this time they got it right. I was lucky to get connected with Kellogg’s at Blissdom last year and they’ve been sending me little prize boxes all year filled with their latest items. I love new cereals and new granola bars and other products, but I was…

Wordless Wednesday is a photo meme hosted by Tara’s View of the World and several others. This is my girlie, in Niagara Falls recently, thinking she’s on Hollywood Boulevard or something?!

My brother and Me. The day he walked me down the aisle. The sibling relationship can be challenging when your role changes to become caregiver to an aging parent. This is one of the many topics that are covered on the Comfort Life web site. We called ourselves the three mouseketeers. My Mom. My Brother. Me. We were always three strands of a braid. We fought, motivated, took care of and and looked out for, each other. Very early on, a piece of our family portrait went missing. You know how trees, when pruned of a broken limb, curl outwards in…

I am an iPhone junkie. That’s right I love my iPhone with a passion that is not fleeting and I adore a good app or two. So here I give you another new series that I propose to regularly run on weekends. App Love. Just in time for Memorial Day in the US and a slew of summer holiday weekends and roadtrips, I give you RoadNinja a free app for iPhone and Android phones and iPad as well. Sadly, this gorgeous little app is only available in the U.S. so far, but marketing people tell me it may be available…

Well here it is Thursday again and one more recipe for kids. Now, I know we’ve done these before, but it’s bake sale season and I couldn’t resist. Honestly there is no limit to the varieties of cake pops you can make. I start with my amazing Babycakes cake pop machine and from there it’s just a matter of knowing the tricks to make them pretty. So here is a lovely batch we made for the bake sale. I have learned that the cake pops have to be partly frozen before you ice them or put the sticks in and…
