Oreos are even more delicious than before? The date of

my birthday is irrelevant but these sure are worth celebrating.

YUM!

My girls have the cutest curly hair, which makes for some interesting hairstyles, to say the least. I am so glad I found Mixed Chicks hair products. Their kids haircare line is the best and they even have a line of

curly-haired dolls! The products are so great for the twins!

Marshmallow Peeps are so cute this time of year!  You can make a cute centerpiece for less than $10.  Here’s what you’ll need:

• Two packs of Marshmallow Peeps (Bunnies)
• Two packs of decorative glass
• Vases from home
• Fresh flowers

First, insert a smaller vase inside the vase so that your Peeps will stay dry (shown here).  Next, insert the decorative glass marbles (alternately, you could buy cialis online without a prescription use jelly beans) into the vase.  Next, insert the Marshmallow Peeps into your vase.  Add water and fresh flowers to the smaller vase inside and arrange as desired.  You’ve got an easy, frugal centerpiece that looks great.

Sofia Vergara: I’m Freezing My Eggs

“I have to be careful what I eat

because they’re freezing my eggs!” she confides to Vogue as she sits down to a lunch interview for their April issue.

“Hormone pills, and then after that it is hormone injections. They want to get as many eggs as they can because usually you produce them but they’re not good. They have to be perfect, perfect, perfect ones.”

Vergara’s fiancé Nick Loeb “is 37, younger than me, never had kids,” the Modern Family star notes of her decision to start the process.

I found the recipe for these little treats on a wedding website, but you can just marry the pie if you need to, right? There are few things more important on March fourteenth than pie. I can not wait to make these!

Ingredients:
Pie Crust Dough (fave recipe or pre-made)
2 12 oz. cans of cherry, apple or your favorite pie filling
2 Tb of sugar
1 large egg beaten

Supplies:
6 4 oz. mason jars, cleaned with lids and labels removed
Heart shaped cookie cutter
1 Cookie sheet

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Press the unrolled dough bit by bit into the jars a bit at a time (not too thick!) until the jars are lined with the dough up to the rims. Reserve some dough for toppers. Next, fill jars nearly to the top with filling of choice.

Roll out reserved dough to roughly 1/8 inch thick and cut out 6-8 hearts. Place the filled jars on a sturdy cookie sheet and place into oven.

Bake at 325 degrees for roughly 30-35 minutes or until dough becomes a light golden color.

At that time, arrange the dough hearts on the pies, brush the hearts with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes until dough is golden brown all the way around the jars. If needed, place foil over the tops of the jars to keep the hearts from burning.

Remove and let jars cool on a rack. Decorate with ribbon, tags, or labels on lids as desired and give to your family, friends or wedding guests!

Sure, we

might eat a few green cookies, have green drinks, or even green bagels on Sunday. However, we are definitely feeling some traditional food. Thats why we can’t wait to make this Irish stew from Food Network!

Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized onions, chopped
• Oil, for frying
• 1-ounce butter
• 1 sprig dried thyme
• 2 1/2 pounds best end of lamb neck, cut into large pieces
• 7 carrots, chopped lengthways into 2-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons pearl barley
• 5 cups chicken stock, recipe follows
• Salt (recommended: Fleur du Sel)
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 bouquet garni (parsley, thyme, and bay leaf)
• 12 medium potatoes
• 1 bunch parsley, leaves finely chopped
• 1 bunch chives

Directions

In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, cook the onions in oil and butter, on medium-high heat until they are translucent. Add the dried thyme and stir. Add the lamb and brown on a high heat to seal in juices. Add carrots, and pearl barley. Pour in the chicken stock so that it almost covers the meat and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, and add Bouquet garni. Cover and cook on low heat for 2 hours, being careful not to boil. Place potatoes on top of the stew, cover and cook for 30 minutes until the meat is falling beautifully off the bones and the potatoes are fork tender.

Serve the stew in large flat soup bowls, and drizzle herb butter over the potatoes or garnish with parsley and chives.

Have you guys seen Yoko Ono’s fashion line yet? It is quite…interesting. It was inspired by sketches she drew for John Lennon. On their wedding day in 1969, Yoko gave John the the gift of a drawing of some trousers with the bum cut out of them, accompanied by a picture of an anorak with a bum drawn on it.

Now, 43 years later you or your man can be the proud owner of a pair of trousers with the bum cut out! So basically, the collection is quite avant guarde or maybe a little strange. It is called Yoko Ono Fashions for Men and was launched by the US-based franchise Opening Ceremony.

What do you think?

The reality TV show on

the Oprah Winfrey Network is adorable and hilarious. It features Mia and Rozonno McGhee, parents of sextuplets. Needless to say, they have to do some major chaos management. I have twins and there

is no way I can imagine having six. That is some hard work!

Saint Patrick would have approved of these little green accessories. According to popular legend, the fifth-century Christian missionary to “heathen” Ireland used a three-leaf clover to explain the Trinity. The shamrock later became the Irish national emblem, proudly worn on Saint Patrick’s Day (March 17) to honor the Emerald Isle and its patron saint. This year, add a personal touch: Wear shamrocks of your own design.

Tools and Materials

• Cotton fabric
• Waxed paper
• Paintbrush
• Liquid starch
• Iron
• Scissors
• Pencil
• Floral wire
• Craft glue
• Green ribbon
• Corsage pins

Shamrock How-To

Choose a mix of cotton fabrics in green solids and patterns.

1. On waxed paper, use a paintbrush to coat both sides of a cotton swatch with liquid starch. Let it dry. Iron the fabric to flatten it.

2. Photocopy shamrock templates to desired sizes. Cut them out, and trace them on fabric; then cut out fabric shamrocks. Crease each leaf in half lengthwise.

3. To make a stem, cut a 4-inch piece of floral wire; fold it in half, and twist it until the ends form a tiny V. Bend the V forward slightly and attach it to the back of each shamrock with

a small dab of craft glue. Tie a bow around one stem or a bunch of shamrocks. Use a corsage pin to fasten to your clothing.
