What? Too Soon? Too soon for most, but maybe not for this CT Working Mom. Look- before we’re about to get all judgy up in here (which, ahem… is something that we try NOT to do), let me explain myself. Pre-Kid, I would spend an entire weekend decorating our house for Christmas. Usually the week

Hello, my name is Dena, and I used to be a Pinterest junkie. I think of myself as a fairly creative person. I cook, I like to do crafts, I like to decorate. I have a Pinterest account filled with deliciously-easy, make-themselves recipes, hours-of-entertainment crafts, creatively-chic home decor ideas: Oh! Freeze-ahead crock-pot meals! Homemade bird-feeders and sidewalk chalk! 100’s of
Our usual columnist Gena needs a few weeks off so I’m doing Tasty Thursday today! I must admit, I’m fortunate to have a husband that does the majority of cooking. Sure, I CAN cook, but if someone else wants to do it who am I to say no?? So, my guest post today will be
