Berry Tempting: Strawberry Crumb Cake

Last weekend I finally made a recipe I've been wanting to make for a year: Food & Wine's strawberry crumb cake.
by partysugar

Last weekend I finally made a recipe I've been wanting to make for a year: Food & Wine's strawberry crumb cake. The three-layered treat consists of a bottom of jam-like sweet strawberries, a middle of thick white cake, and a top of buttery crumbs. Alone it makes a devilishly delicious breakfast, but top it with a scoop of ice cream and you've got a dinner party dessert. It doesn't really matter when you serve it, all that matters is that you make this cake! It's a perfect thing to surprise your mom with, because after all, what mom doesn't love strawberries? She'll enjoy them even more in a cake baked by one of her loved ones. Want the recipe? Trust me, this one is a keeper! Read more.

Come Party With Me: Brunch For Mom — Dessert

When planning a meal for a particular person — say, your mom for Mother's Day — be sure to make food that she loves.
by partysugar

When planning a meal for a particular person — say, your mom for Mother's Day — be sure to make food that she loves. My mom spent some time living in New Orleans, and over a recent brunch, she devoured a plate of melt-in-your-mouth beignets. Thus this weekend, for the dessert to a special brunch in her honor, I'm going to whip up some buttermilk beignets. The dough can be made up to eight hours before frying. This is a classic recipe that's finished with a generous coat of confectioners' sugar. To check it out, read more

Speak Up: How Did You Learn to Love Your Body?

The ladies over at Glamour asked a bunch of health and fitness bloggers how they learned to love their bodies.

The ladies over at Glamour asked a bunch of health and fitness bloggers how they learned to love their bodies. I was touched to be included in the group and this is how I responded:

The first time I saw my older daughter imitate me by scowling at herself in the mirror, I knew my relationship with my body had to change. No longer do I focus on "problem areas" when I look in the mirror. Now I revel in the miles my body can run, bike, and swim. By ensuring that my girls love their bodies, I learned to love mine. It was certainly an unexpected gift of motherhood.

Now it's your turn to speak up and share how you learned to love your body.

Get (or Give) The Gift of Sleep this Mother's Day

Did you know that only 64% of moms report getting a good night's sleep a few nights a week or less?
by

Did you know that only 64% of moms report getting a good night's sleep a few nights a week or less?

The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) releases survey results indicating that moms nationwide are not getting the sleep they need to feel refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to go. Amen to that! Here is a list from the NSF of tips to allow Mom to sleep in an hour more on Mother's Day (and all year round):

  • It’s All in the Prep! Plan the menu in advance and have all ingredients ready to go. Some breakfast items like French toast, quiche and frittatas can be whipped up and refrigerated until cooking. Pre-set the breakfast tray with silverware, appropriate plates, etc – this will eliminate commotion and clanging in the kitchen. Don’t forget a vase with freshly cut flowers!
  • Keep the Kids Quiet… Remind the children that this is Mom’s special day and the family has made a pact to let her sleep in. Have favorite “quiet” toys (like books, coloring books and kid-friendly DVDs) easily accessible so kids can occupy themselves until Mom wakes up.
  • Mom Loves Sleep PJs… This Mother’s Day, NSF is offering Mom Loves Sleep PJs – a comfy, camisole and patterned cabana pants ensemble. Visit NSF’s Sleep Shop to learn more about this exclusive offer.
  • Get Them Dressed and Ready to Go! Lay out the next day’s clothing before the kids get into bed. Older kids can dress themselves; younger kids may need some assistance. If outfits are chosen and agreed upon the night before, children can get dressed without a fuss.
  • Take a Task… Each child should be assigned a specific chore to ensure that Mother’s Day morning is memorable. Create a chart and give everyone a specific duty. Make Mom proud by having the kids pitch in and help one another on her behalf.

Fit's Tip: Print this for (or email it to) your husband today so he can start planning. If he's anything like mine, he can use all the help he can get.
