Something Yummy: Brownies with an Edge

For all those who love brownies with the soft gooey middle and a crunchy, chewy edge, this is the pan for you.  I think it's completely genius.   I am in love!  BakersEdge has a pan that allows every slice to have 2 edges.  Also, if you go on their website, they give you some really yummy looking brownie recipes.  

Yummy Wear: H&M

I am so excited to announce the long awaited arrival of H&M in San Diego.  If you don't know what H&M is, it is pretty much a one stop shop for the entire family.  It's hip and it's cheap and you can pretty much incorporate pieces for everybody's style.  The San Diego store just open at the Otay Ranch Center last weekend.  I love getting layering pieces from there.  I can't get a way with wearing a lot of their clothes (because I'm just not that cool),but I especially love shopping there for my kids because it's cheap and not every kid is wearing it.  What ever you see in the fashion magazines you will get a knock-off at H&M.  The only sad thing about H&M is they don't have an online store.  That is why I am so excited we finally have one here in San Diego!

Yummy Cards: Handmade Mother's Day cards

How great would it be to receive one of these handmade cards for Mother's Day!  I make and sell cards and invitations as a way of supporting my habit of buying scrapbook supplies and I made these to sell for Mother's Day.  These two cards were my best sellers this year.  The "10 Reasons why I love you!" card has 10 strips of paper that you can write your reasons on. Everyone loves this card and I sell this card for every holiday.  I am currently working on my card blog to display my cards and invitations for clients.   I will post when it is up and running. In the meantime, I hope these cards will inspire you to make something special for your mothers and express to them how special they are.  Happy Mother's Day!

Something Yummy: for the soul and tummy

This Thursday, April 24th, there is a group of bars and restaurants in the San Diego area that are giving 25% of their profits for the day to AIDS research.  Click here for participating restaurants in San Diego.  This is a national effort too, so if you live elsewhere, the home page for Dining Out for life can direct you to whatever participating city is closest to you.  Check it out.  Enjoy a yummy meal and know that you just did a great thing!

If you are in the market for a chic dock for your ipod, (and even if you're not) I would recommend this as an option. No speakers here, sound is simply amplified by the megaphone. But who cares about the sound...I just like to look at it! Available here.

Yummy Mommy and Kids: Java Mama

I absolutely love this yummy place called Java Mama.  What is it?  It's a coffee house geared towards people who enjoy the coffee house life style but have kids.  It's a coffee house with a large play area for your toddlers to climb, play, dress-up and eat.  They serve not only coffee (I am not a coffee drinker) but other great drinks, panini's, bagels, assortment of bakery items and a great selection of kid foods.  It costs $1 for your child to play in the play area and $2.50 for supervised time.  They also offer story time and mommy and me classes.  The kids can run around and have fun while you surf the internet on WiFi, eat or chat with your girlfriends.  My son and I meet for play dates there every Monday mornings after I drop my daughter off at school.  I know not every town has a Java Mama type of a place but you should research to see what your area has to offer for you and your toddler.

Something Yummy: Eco-Friendly Disposable Utensils

Ok so that headline is a bit of a mouthful but I am excited to share this with you guys. While doing my daily blog stalking, I came across these beautiful and earth-friendly utensils, as discussed on Bluelines (one of my favorite design/everything blogs)

This cutlery is made from bamboo and is biodegradable (after about 4-6 months). I really love the simple look, and the neutral tone of the wood. I think these are totally great and a good alternative to your ordinary disposable utensils. According to the article you can find these here and here. I'd love to take these with me on a picnic for two looking over San Diego bay or use them for a summer bbq with friends!
