Picture this. You are at the grocery store, trying frantically to locate the items on your list, all the while trying to steer your kids’ eyes away from the candy aisle. And almost always, they are drawn to it like moths to a flame. Starburst is Boy’s favorite and also those icky gummy treats. Gummy…
Sweet Christmas Vignettes
Wait a minute. Are you wondering what a Christmas decor post is doing on a food blog? Well as some of you may remember, ‘At The Corner Of Happy And Harried’ didn’t exactly start out as a food blog. I have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to decking the halls as…
Chocolate Cupcakes With Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting
Thanksgiving is a beautiful all-American tradition that I really look forward to each year. Though the hubby would argue I actually look forward to the shopping extravaganza the day after, but truly, I love the concept of giving thanks for our everyday blessings. It is immensely important to instil this thanks-giving virtue in our kids…
Chocolate Pudding Cookie Cups
You know how kids are, right? Imitating and copying others, changing their minds at the drop of a hat? Well, my (not-so) little Boy announced one evening that he now likes pie best. This, coming from a Boy who I know definitely likes cake more than pie any given day. I prodded a bit and…
Boy’s Power Rangers Birthday Cake
The past couple of months have been hectic, to say the least. Boy started Kindergarten, we are trying our best to stick to a strict homework-play-sleep schedule, we celebrated our anniversary and then got to planning and celebrating our little fella turning the big f-i-v-e. Oh, how my Boy has grown over the past year!…
Easy Chocolate Muffins, Baking With Kids And A New Venture
Whoa! Do I have your attention with the unusually long and cryptic blog title? Good, read on then. Let’s start with the muffins and the whole ‘baking with kids’ thing first. I feel so lucky that Boy suggests a baking adventure on his days off from school. Lately, he’s been into rainbow-colored cakes or cupcakes…
Easter Eggstravaganza: Watercolored & Chinese Marbled Tea Eggs
I know this post is a little late, but I didn’t get time around Easter to edit the photos. I wanted to share this year’s Easter eggs with you. It is such a fun adventure to color them, don’t you think? We used food colors last year. You can read about it in this post….
Photography Styling Challenge #9 – Fashion
I was not sure whether I would be able to post this month’s challenge entry on time. We are on vacation – in India! Yay!! Fashion, or rather, capturing fashion, is not one of my strong points. I prefer photographing still life – things that do not have moving limbs and definitely, not a mind…
A Few Of My Favorite Things #4 – Twilight
Let me start by asking how this winter is treating you. If you are lucky enough to live in the tropics, you may not know what I am talking about. Even sunny Texas has not been spared this winter. Though our experiences were nothing compared to other states, I am sure. I am not a…
Cute Handmade Christmas Cards
Gosh, time sure flies. Just when I was done putting together end-of-year gift bags for Boy’s teachers, along comes the Holidays. I am not complaining, mind you. I will take any chance to appreciate the efforts of those lovely ladies and a gentleman who joined his school this year. It came as such a shock…
Photography Styling Challenge #6 – Order (Organization)
Welcome to yet another edition of the monthly Photography Styling Challenge. I cannot believe we are halfway through the challenge already. It seems like yesterday that I chanced upon this challenge on M’s blog and decided to play along. I cannot tell you how much fun it has been and how much I have learned…
D-Do-Dot-Dotty Kids Paintings
“Teddy Bears and squirrels are brown, Autumn leaves are too.” – Boy was singing the Brown color song one day. Well, why not create an autumn tree craft with brown and yellow leaves? I had the perfect paint for this craft, the do-a-dot marker set. I drew a tree in brown marker and then let…
