Alex turned five Friday, and had his party Sunday.
It was superhero-themed, and we held it at the Children's Museum. There was food and cake, and after presents, the kids were free to explore the museum, which is very hands-on. A two-story doll house big enough for the kids to play in, rocket ships, castles, a water table and more.
The kids were encouraged to dress as superhereoes. Can you guess who Alex was?
Mild-mannered preschooler by day, faux muscle-bound hero by night!
This month, Blog Party's all about the ultimate hand-held food & having a Pizza Party!
Top your pies...full-sized and sliced, or in miniature form...any way you want, pour yourself a drink, and join the party. You have till this Thursday, 20 March, to RSVP...hope to see you there!

Normally, it's about the food. Food blog, after all. But this time, the food is more a means to an end. So, I don't have much to say about the goat cheese pasta, or that fact we used a novelty, heart-shaped, pasta in the recipe. Instead, I took...
- Anniversary Cake
I saw my wish-list mom, Ina Garten, make this cake to celebrate her & Jeffrey's wedding anniversary. It's nothing at all like our wedding cake, but six years later, change can be good. Six years. In Hollywood, that's a lifetime. Nice &...
