Coming to a City Near You, and Other Goings On

Posted by Shaina On July - 23 - 2012

The Desserts in Jars book tour officially kicked off today. Check to see if I’m coming anywhere near you.

I’ll be in New York City and Philadelphia the next few days (with Amanda!!!), and then I’m headed to the West Coast next month. I’ll be adding events as they come up, so watch the Desserts in Jars tour dates page if you want to see if I’m coming closer to you. I would so like to meet you all and say hello.

As soon as I sign off here, I’m headed into the city to get ready for tonight’s event. This is where I’ll be the next few days. If you’re in the area, feel free to stop by and say hi.

I’m rounding out this trip with a Big Summer Potluck hosted by one of my favorite blogging families. Plus, I get to see some of my favorite people and meet Aimee‘s sweet baby Clara!!


When I’m not on an airplane, I do sometimes work. So, here are a few of the most recent things you can read from me around the web.

“The family dinner is something we do nightly, sitting down to talk and eat together, trying to instill in them some form of manners […] ‘No, you may not eat mashed potatoes with your fingers.’ ‘Please refrain from painting the table with your egg yolk.’” Read the rest.

“If you’re looking for an activity to get your kids going this summer, try this easy-to-pull-off ice cream in a zip-top bag. It’s fun to see the kids’ faces as milk and sugar turn into a frozen treat with nothing but the power of their hands giving it a good shake.” Continue reading about family dinners.

“I try to make a list of things that we would like to do, as long a list I can come up with, and I ask the kids to help think up ideas. They can be crazy and ridiculous like a neighborhood paintball war, to things like trips to the water park.” Continue reading my summer survival tips.

    Just thought I’d say that I just discovered your book today (and by proxy your site) and I LOVE IT. Best of all, I live in Seattle, so I’ll definitely be attending one of the three events you’ll be having here. I love love love desserts in jars so finding out about your book/site truly made my day. :)
