DIY No Sew Easy Princess Leia Costume (Eco-Friendly and Cheap Too!)

Oct 2, 2024 | orangecounty.momcollective.com | Hilary Feldstein Ratner

Let me start by saying that I am no DIY jedi. The Force is definitely not with me when it comes to crafting. I can sew, but I can’t sew, ya know? Yet when my son decided he wanted to be Kylo Ren for Halloween, something compelled me to decide that our whole family would dress in Star Wars costumes. Our toddler is being an Ewok. My husband found an adult-sized Chewbacca onesie from Target that he actually wanted to wear. So I decided to be Princess Leia.

Jan 30, 2024 | orangecounty.momcollective.com | Hilary Feldstein Ratner

February? Don’t you mean Fun-ruary? Ok, ok, that is an awful pun and I am incredibly sorry for subjecting to that. But the point here is, this month is jam-packed with important and exciting things to celebrate like Black History Month, Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day, and more! So many events, so little time (literally. Why is February so short?? Even with it being a leap year, this month still clocks in at just about 4 weeks).

Sep 19, 2023 | orangecounty.momcollective.com | Maria Hoey

And for those who have never experienced the joy of a mammogram – let me tell you that it’s not as bad as you think. Really. I promise. You will have to wear one of those amazing gowns that open in the front. Don’t try to put it on the other way, although it seems more prudent to have it open in the back, that’s the wrong way. A tech will be in the room with you positioning your breast at just the right angle, and once it’s positioned between two plastic imaging plates the pressure will be applied.

Sep 18, 2023 | orangecounty.momcollective.com | Maria Hoey

It’s hard to know how to support a friend who has just been told their world has stopped and they will forever talk about life in terms of before cancer and after cancer. When my friend was told she had breast cancer I didn’t know what to do. I’m awkward at best when it comes to knowing the right thing to say. I didn’t want to say the wrong thing, I didn’t want to be too up in her business, I didn’t want to not be enough up in her business.
Not Your Mama's Meatloaf Recipe

Sep 9, 2023 | orangecounty.momcollective.com | Maria Hoey

Do you like meatloaf? What if I told you that this meatloaf recipe was unlike any other – would you try it? I was never really a fan as I felt like it was dry and just not my favorite thing in the world. So, one day when I was feeling a little saucy I decided to make my own recipe. And thus my favorite meatloaf recipe was born. I have two versions because sometimes you forget to go to the store and get the necessary items, or you are at the store and forget to get the necessary items. It happens.
