An adventure on hilldale drive. March 11, 2013. 4 months ago heaven smiled down on us and our little lovebug, Celia, was born. It has been 4 crazy months! No one can prepare you enough for the jump from 1 child to 2 children! First of all, you are now outnumbered. If they are both crying at the same time, you have to choose whom to soothe first. And Luke, who is 2 1/2, gets a little jealous sometimes. This manifests itself in tantrums, yelling, throwing things, etc. Loads of fun. Next post →. I am a wife...

That one time I competed on “Chopped”….. | hilldalehouse
https://hilldalehouse.wordpress.com/2014/07/25/that-one-time-i-competed-on-chopped
An adventure on hilldale drive. July 25, 2014. That one time I competed on “Chopped”…. Well, my husband’s made-up-just-for-me-because-he-knows-how-much-I-LOOOOVE-“ Chopped. Last Saturday afternoon, I get a text from my husband who is at Whole Foods: “Chopped challenge, prepare your mind.” What? I went through a phase where I watched old “Chopped” episodes on a nightly basis, right before bed, making multiple comments, multiple times on how I wish I could compete/judge in that show. It was by faaaaaar THE...

Easy 2-ingredient Black Bean Soup | hilldalehouse
https://hilldalehouse.wordpress.com/2013/11/28/easy-2-ingredient-black-bean-soup
An adventure on hilldale drive. November 28, 2013. Easy 2-ingredient Black Bean Soup. The week before we leave for vacation, we try not to go grocery shopping and instead try to use up what we already have. This makes for some interesting meals sometimes. And sometimes necessity breeds innovation, as it did in this case. A can of black refried beans and some chicken broth make a very yummy and easy black bean soup that serves two. Add some cornbread or tortilla chips and you have lunch! Next post →.

Little hair bow | hilldalehouse
https://hilldalehouse.wordpress.com/2013/05/24/little-hair-bow
An adventure on hilldale drive. May 24, 2013. I finally got around to making something for baby girl. I have a long list of DIY projects I have wanted to make for her including headbands, bibs, shoes, and dresses but the time has just slipped away from me. So when I saw this faux leather ribbon at Joann’s, I just had to have it. It took about 1 hour to complete the little bow headband based on this tutorial. From Ruffles and Stuff. And it seems she loves it as much as I do :). Next post →. Create a free ...

Horse Head Cake – Tutorial | hilldalehouse
https://hilldalehouse.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/horse-head-cake-tutorial
An adventure on hilldale drive. August 28, 2014. Horse Head Cake – Tutorial. When I am not crazy-busy doing SAHM things, I sometimes dabble in cake-making. I’m not crazy about the baking part, too messy, too worried about the taste/flavor/texture of the cake/frosting – too stressful. But a necessary evil if one is to be a cake-maker. Although licking the beaters does ease the pain. My friend Kylie asked me if I could make something similar to THIS. Pictures the entire time! So, here’s my process:. Recipe...

Luke’s StarWars Lego Party | hilldalehouse
https://hilldalehouse.wordpress.com/2014/07/15/lukes-starwars-lego-party
An adventure on hilldale drive. July 15, 2014. Luke’s StarWars Lego Party. This baby is 4. Where oh where did the time go? He is really REALLY into Legos… and not the mega blocks or Duplos… he likes the big boy Legos! This year he requested a Star Wars Lego party. It’s fun to see him so passionate about something. Well, he first requested a superhero-starwars-Chima-angrybird-transformers-Lego party, but I managed to talk him into narrowing it down a little. A lot of the decor was compliments of Pinterest.

Celia’s First Birthday Tassel Party | hilldalehouse
https://hilldalehouse.wordpress.com/2013/12/20/celias-first-birthday-tassel-party
An adventure on hilldale drive. December 20, 2013. Celia’s First Birthday Tassel Party. A month ago, my baby turned 1! Where did the time go? The past year has been a wild ride! I’ve heard it said before, but didn’t always believe, that the jump from 1 child to 2 is crazy! And crazy indeed it was. And yet, here we are, a year later, all alive, all healthy, and much to be thankful for. After perusing Pinterest for a while, I decided to do a non-theme party and instead chose a color scheme as the theme.

An adventure on hilldale drive. DIY Gold and White pennant garland. December 27, 2012. This year we finally dug deep in our pockets and invested in a pre-lit, 9-foot, artificial Christmas tree…. 8230;the only reason why I made this promise to Deric:. 8220;I’m going to decorate the tree without buying any new ornaments”. Gulp. So, here’s my updated take on garland. Super easy, but gave the tree an extra umph! All supplies were left-over from previous projects). Also very important: Sew only about 3-4 feet...
