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.

This past week we were tasked to create…

Our souls yearn for the busy, the beautiful street art, the diversity, the food, and mostly the beautiful sights. However on most days our visits are over taken by horns honking, a gps blaring in my ears shouting directions, me being annoyed because I just missed the turn. Why drive right? I ask myself this frequently. I miss out on all…
I am sure many parents can relate. The hours between 2:30 -5:30 pm, after school, are total chaos for my family. One is famished, the other is ready for her after school nap and growing crankier with each traffic light we pass on the 5 minute drive home.
