We are back in the swing of it all. Let the bells jingle and the lights brightly twinkle, but don’t look up and tell me it’s going to snow! I don’t know if any of us is ever truly ready for that. However, I do think this wonderful time of the year is not only for the merriment of our children but also for us. Losing our cool over the latest gifts, and trying to figure out which family guests…
Every family has their own veggie tales. Not in reference to the tv show, but to the tale as old as time when trying to get our children to eat more fruits and vegetables. It’s like we become secret health agents, attempting to sneak any bit of greens into a smoothie, or making rice that is incognito cauliflower (a touchdown for this mama!) or pizza crust, because it is the number one food for my kids. But these tricks only…
Some families are big, and spread out with everone running to and fro, despite technology, it isn’t always easy to keep up with whats going on in each others lives. Hopefully you will be surrounded by loved ones on Thanksgiving Day so we have curated conversation starter cards to ask each other questions, share something new and possibly bridge a generation gap, once you instill the no electronics at the table rule.

Sometimes we turn to a remedy passed down by family, hoping for a divine cure in seconds because we cannot miss another sports practice. Sometimes…

I am talking about that balance where the thought of a Mom’s nite out does not lead to putting a pause on your children’s schedule. We all need to learn how to indulge, and enjoy time with our friends which…
Ok I have fully transitioned to Fall. We are all about Fall activities, which for us includes baking and creating our own recipes. I love when family comes over and smells pumpkin spice and declares they are not pumpkin type of people. Naturally I ignore, and pour them a cup of coffee, which includes in-laws, my mom etc and insist they test whichever Krusteaz mix we have just baked. Instant Swoon! Everytime. This past week we were tasked to create…
