Kid Tested, Mermaid Approved
So about the park… I had a little incident. Scout is a terrier through and through, a real hunter. And true to her name she "scouts" for every squirrel in existence. She is basically Dug from Up. "SQUIRREL!" -Dug So, I’m never without treats. Treats, so she finds me more, or at least as interesting as a squirrel (awesome). I was armed with some pretty fantastic treats from...
Easy-Peasy Picnic Pack
It’s gorgeous out! Let’s head to the park and relax with a light lunch and a boozy beverage. Who’s in? Cooper and Scout are! They listen very intently when I say, "Do you want to go to the park?" Also, they're sitting on my new welcome mat. It says, "it's always happy hour." I couldn't very well leave that in the store, now could I? It was...
Go Get That Donkey!
It was never a question of whether I was going to do it, it was more like, are you sure you should? Usually to the ring of, should you bring that baby squirrel home? There’s more than one? Do you really think that bird will survive with a broken wing? Do you need to save snakes too? Obviously. Of course. And have you met me? I...

Blueberry has fast become a favorite of hers and mine. So, Midnight Blueberry Pie is on...
A Cotton Candy Cottontail
We’ve been invited to Easter brunch and I can't wait! I offered to bring a themed drink, instead of a typical host gift, to help with prep since it's a big group. My friends were thrilled to have a little help and I have the perfect idea that will bring smiles all around, especially for a lot of excited kids. Plus, I’ve had my eye on...
It’s All In The Name
Have you named your home? People love visiting a home that has a great title. It's like giving your parties a theme and I’m pretty obsessed with the idea. In fact, during our RV travels around the country—in Winnie the Warrior Princess (aptly named)—a good portion of our driving time (when I wasn’t getting pulled over) was spent mulling over what we would call our...
The Mermaid’s Guide to Home Bar Must-Haves
If there’s one thing I love to do, it’s entertain. And my friends are crazy about a good, boozy drink and eats, so when they visit I have to be ready with a fully stocked bar, fun cocktails and food! They also get a kick out of popping over unexpected, and since a “Hostess with the Mostess...
