Woohoo! It’s another edition of Shopping with Sheaffer and Shay! And listen…this one has a twist. Sheaffer and I can somehow manage to be at the mall together 3 times a week with our children but for some reason…
Red, White and Blue Trifle
Every year on July 4th, we have some sort of strawberry and blueberry dessert…because it looks all patriotic and stuff :). This year, I took angel food cake from my grocery store’s bakery and turned our annual treat into a…
A day in the life of Shay…
The last time I did a “day in the life of Shay” was back on January 8, so I picked this last Monday to do a summer version. I picked Monday because I knew we had tennis camp and swimming,…
Cast Iron Steak Fajitas
I get asked all the time to review cookbooks and such but honestly, I’d rather write recipes than review other people’s books. However, I am a big, big, big fan of Hoffman Media and their CEO Phyllis Hoffman DePiano,…

Happy Monday friends! I flipped over my calendar yesterday to see what we have planned for the week and it’s lots of good stuff (thank you summer!). Tennis camp starts this morning at 8:00 a.m. (yikes that’s early to…
