Choo Choo Train Birthday { Party }


My girlfriend Shannon is so on top of her game (I'd love to hate her if I didn't love her so much). She's beautiful and talented and one amazing mom! And she certainly didn't disappoint at her son's 2nd birthday party this past weekend. While the little man is (rightfully so) the star of the day, I really wanted to share the work of the true unsung hero: Sebastian's Mommy. Just look at this wonderful Choo Choo party she put together for her son's 2nd birthday! #Amazing



















Way to go Miss Shannon and Happy Birthday Bash!

Loves,

{ Announcing } I Bake for Marriage Equality!


Today is such an exciting day! It's such a big day here at Wifey With A Knifey because...

We're Coming Out!!!


No more hiding behind a caricature of Wifey With A Knifey; we are putting a face (or rather faces) to everything that we do. We feel (1) People should be proud of who they really are and (2) it's a bit more personal and hope you do too! And truthfully, the previous caricature of Wifey really wasn't accurate. I mean, we're both obvious Betty's, but neither of us have a cinched together, teeny-tiny waist, nor do we have perfectly-perky boobs that culminate in a rounded point. I mean we both breast fed kids and some of us still do!

So here I am in all my ( non-practicing ) Jewish-wifey-hubby-loving glory and so excited for everything coming down the pipe-line here at WWAK!We are so excited to announce the beginning of several community outreach campaigns. We've always been passionate supporters of issues like Marriage Equality and quality nutrition for our nations kids, but I must admit our passion has been quite passive.

Refashion-tastic!

Um, how awesome is my mom!?!
So lately I've been in the mood to update and upcycle some of my stuff.  We had a community garage sale last weekend, and I was not only able to sell quite a bit of stuff, but I also picked up some awesome, cheap finds that I have been able to inexpensively restore, refurbish, and revamp!  While I should have been with it and blogged all of it, I sadly only took pictures of only my favorite ones.  Wifey and I have talked at length about how expensive it can be to redo and remake some items compared to buying them new.  I've decided to try my best at making some awesome refashions on a tight budget while keeping them all FABULOUS :D  

I'll blog a couple of my favorite projects over the next week, so make sure you check back to see my most recent remodel!

Calories, calories...

I hate calories. Not just because they add up to each individual occurrence of cellulite on my ass, but they become a serious obsession whenever I am trying to lose weight. Counting calories, points plus, however you do it - it can become infuriating. I mean, if I just want to enjoy a cheeseburger and vanilla shake every now and again, why can't I just enjoy them?! Why do I have to think about every little calorie?! It seriously takes the joy out of eating. It makes me want to hate eat.

I do understand that for many it's not the occasional McDonald's run, but the every day Taco Bell, melted cheese, and thunder-bowl of ice cream (which coincidentally is my personal version of These Are a Few of My Favorite Things). Despite my hate of calorie counting, my love of knowledge implores me to share these kick-butt info-graphics on the history of these annoying little bastards. And since I'm not ready to post my post about 30-day cooking, I thought I'd share these tasty visuals to feast your eyes on in the meantime. Enjoy! Xoxo.
