Authentically Nita

Well, maybe one word: LOSER

Made these with my Little Ones: Basic Sugar Cookie Dough Recipe + Royal Icing + Children = Fun :)

These days, some women are debating whether or not it is okay for their husband, boyfriend or men in general, to wear skinny legged pants. I've had this conversation on both Twitter and Facebook. I must admit that I agreed with some people stating, " Yeah I agree, I don't like the new skinny pants on men." But wait a minute, wasn't there a time when men walked around looking like this??? and this: Uh, yeah. In light of that throwback moment, I'm okay with the new look. (My mom has a photo of us at the park, some time in the early 80's and my dad has midriff shirt on, LoL)

My daughters REALLY wanted to make the butterfly shaped cake in the book. That was fine with me, but I needed new bakeware. I had thrown away my old 9" rounds because the finishing was coming off and they appeared rusty. I ordered the Silicone Solutions 5 Piece Burgundy Bakeware Set from CSN Stores . I had never cooked with Silicone B...

The Smurfs , one of the best cartoons of all time! Well, one of my favorites at least. I loved this cartoon so much that I tried to convince my mother to name my little sister after Smurfette. That didn't work. She instead convinced me that we could combine Tracy with Smurfette, and that could be the baby's middle name. My sister's middle name became Tracette. (My mommy was so nice. I really believed we made that name up). My favorite Smurfs were Smurfette , Brainy Smurf and Papa Smurf . The show would not have been complete without Gargamel and Gargamel would not have been complete without his cat! I don't remember if the cat had a name. I do remember however, that the Smurfs had their own little Smurf language. I miss that show. I might not have to miss it for too long though. Just like the rest of our old favorites, the Smurfs are making a comeback. Watch out, because in 2011 they're coming out with a Smurf movie! Check it out: The Smurf's Movie Trailer:...

My 5 year old has turned into a real live Mean Girl. She has spent a good part of summer vacation getting scolded about saying rude things to people. She has been saying things like this: You stink. Leave me alone with your fat behind! You're ugly. Your hair looks a mess. Your breathe stinks. You look all dirty. Get away from me. Ewe don't sit by me, you're nasty! AND MORE! She says these things to other children. So I started saying things like this: Hey! Watch your mouth. You don't talk to people like that! That's rude, you need to apologize, right now. You shouldn't say things like that to people, because it hurts their feelings. You don't want to make people feel bad do you? Saying those things didn't seem to help. Instead, it resulted in scenarios like this: My Daughter : Eeeelll!!! Your breathe stinks. Other person : *looks at her* My Daughter : Did it hurt your feelings when I said your breathe stinks? Other Person : Kind of. My Daughter : We...
