Hi friends! Rebecca, from The Crafted Sparrow, here today. I know most of you are just getting ready to start your back to school prep, we actually started school last week. One of my favorite things to do at the end of each summer is to shop for school supplies. I love all the bright colors, it just makes me so… Read More
Happy Monday friends! I hope you’re enjoying the “dog days” of summer. We’re gearing up for school, which starts later this week, and trying to fit in every single fun thing we’ve yet to accomplish while the kids are out of school.

National S’mores Day is right around the corner – August 10. I’m not one to pass up any opportunity to celebrate food, especially food with chocolate, so you know tracking down good S’mores recipes is something that’s been on the calendar for a while. I know there are a lot of S’mores purists out there who want to simply smash… Read More
Can you believe that it’s nearly August? Geez. I am not at all ready for summer to end. I’d like to tack on another month or two. However, all of the kids going back to school in Arizona (thank you Facebook) have put fall planning top of mind. I am not quite ready to hit the stores for school supplies… Read More

I have been cleaning and tossing like a mad woman for the last month or so. If you follow me on social, you may already know that I have donated about 20 bags to the local thrift outlet. I am trying so much harder to use what I have, as opposed to hitting the store. I have two areas in… Read More

There’s nothing better than a giggle with your girlfriends. Nothing.

There’s a Chick-Fil-A down the road. I don’t get there often…unless I am in the midst of planning for Snap Conference. During planning season, I sneak away. All alone. At odd hours. I grab some takeaway in the car and sneak bites in between calls. My love for Chick-fil-A is a bit of a secret obsession. I’ve never taken my… Read More
Today I am sharing one of my favorite appetizers – jalapeno popper dip. Holy delicious. This one is a real crowd pleaser. Jalapeno Popper Dip Recipe There’s so much to love about this zippy recipe.

Oh man, it’s a crazy week when you’re grateful for the COOL high 80’s weather. We’re supposed to be back up in to the 90’s this week in Salt Lake City, which kills my ability to “get steps in” and exercise, but means more craft time in the air conditioned house! It also means I am going to be paying… Read More
Sometimes at dinner, after we set aside all electronic devices, I also resort to a quote free zone. Especially when a new movie has just released. I don’t know about your kids, but the boys LOVE quoting movies. You’d think with Minions, I’d be safe. After all, the little yellow guys barely talk. However, I suspect dinner tomorrow night will… Read More
It’s summer. We’ve ditched schedules for lazy days and casseroles for just about anything that doesn’t need to be baked in the oven. Nine times out of ten, that means we MIGHT be eating out. However, the other magical one percent of the time, I make this super-yummy honey mango shrimp taco recipe. I first whipped up these tacos in a… Read More
