Happy Thursday! Sorry I haven’t been around much recently to visit and comment. I’ve been suffering from a knee injury that has made stuff just hard to do so in free time I have had I use to spend hanging with the kids.
One thing I did have time to do is visit your posts and choose a few party features {you all are making that much harder with your awesomeness though}! Let’s take a look.

Last month, I shared this chocolate salted caramel milkshake over at Sugar Bee Crafts! It is so delicious that I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss out either!
I went out to lunch the other day with a co-worker and had the most amazing milkshake. It was a blend of salted caramel and chocolate…delicious! Of course, I wanted to try and create the milkshake at home so I could enjoy it anytime I wanted. And thus, this chocolate salted caramel milkshake was born.
Busy moms and dads can use all the meal planning help they can find. That is one of the reasons I started this whole What to Cook Wednesday series. It allows me to find new recipes to feed my family AND provides some menu planning help to my readers. Win win in my mind!
So, since it is mid-week and what to cook is probably on your mind, let’s get started!
Sunday: Let’s start off our week with a delicious meal of creamy polenta and chorizo. Throw in some roasted green beans and we have one delicious meal.
Monday: Mondays are always busy as we get thrust back into the work/school week after the weekend. Ginger, garlic and chili shrimp are perfect for these kinds of night because it cooks up so fast.
A few weeks ago, I made a spring ribbon wreath and proudly hung it on our front door. Then, Mathlete came home and asked me why I had a Christmas wreath on our door. Insert sigh followed by immediate crafting of new wreath which I will call my late spring/early summer wreath

Mother’s Day is always a day when I {and most moms} get completely spoiled. It starts from being able to sleep in and ends with a dinner out where I do no cooking or cleaning. One important thing for me is that we spend the day as a family and enjoy #mealstogether. This Mother’s Day came with a “special” gift of an knee injury for me. Well, technically, the injury happened back in April but got really bad as May progressed. My family totally took over on all the things that I normally do and truly made it like it was Mother’s Day all month.
One big thing I do for our household is most of the cooking. Mathlete is awesome at so many things but kitchen duty isn’t one of them. However, with my big, swollen knee, I haven’t been able to do as much standing and cooking as I usually do. Mathlete and the kids jumped right in and took over.
First, they headed to the store to pick up some supplies: Tyson crispy chicken strips and some yummy sides to go along with them.
Dads are special people. Mine {especially before I was married} was my go to for any kind of fix it related question. In my mind, he could/can build/fix/design anything I could/can envision. These days, I may go to Mathlete first but I often chat with my dad about any project too. There have definitely been many a phone call from me to him while I am standing in the middle of a Lowe’s aisle.
So, of course, a plain old gift or decoration just won’t do to recognize him on Father’s Day. Instead, I combined the gift and decoration into one
Mother’s Day 2013 is officially in the books {hope yours was a great one} which means it is time to turn out eyes towards Father’s Day. Gift ideas for dad can be a little harder so I’ve rounded up 10 great gifts that would be perfect for the dad in your life!
