Excuse me while I have a sentimental moment. It feels like yesterday that Jack was helping me with my first reviews on the blog. I blinked and a decade flew by. I’m also feeling humbled to still be writing on The Simple Moms for all these years. Jack just turned 15 and he’s over…
I was scrolling through Instagram the other day and saw this Holi Coloring Contest that Deep Indian Kitchen was sponsoring. Holi celebrates the arrival of Spring and new beginnings. You will find tens of thousands of Americans and their Deep Indian Kitchen family at festivals with colorful powder spreading happiness and cheer! Since everyone is…
If you ever find yourself in the Bay Area, looking for a beautiful and relaxing day trip, I have just the place for you to visit. During our spring break a few weeks ago, we took a horseback ride down to Thornton State Beach. We meandered through rolling hills and wildflowers. Then we rode along the…
Christmas cards are a fun way to wrap up another year and wish your friends and family a Merry Christmas. I enjoy connecting with people from each chapter and season of my life and for some reason Christmas cards bring us all together again each year. Since I find myself a little less busy this…
While I would love to get cozy on the couch with a bowl of ice cream and my favorite Netflix show each night, I don’t have the metabolism to support such a habit. I came upon a Cherry Smoothie bowl recipe in my Tone It Up app and was enjoying it for breakfast. However, it felt more…
Nobody is shaving their head over here, but I hear that’s the latest trend during quarantine. My oldest son (12) is loving his locks that he can toss around. He has never had it long because his school requires a shorter haircut so he’s taking advantage of his chance to let it grow. Speaking of…
Time for our weekly check-in. How are we all doing? We had a few rainy days over here that didn’t bring out the best in us. Rain is no excuse for grumpiness though. We are determined to love each other a little better this week. I’m speaking to myself as well. While we are being…
Have you tried the VERB energy bars yet? I kept seeing them on my Instagram stories and finally decided to try the 4 pack of all the flavors for $.95 (free shipping). I’m not sure why I was dragging my feet, but for the last few months I’ve been the happiest of VERB customers. I…

I sure hope you and yours have had a great holiday season so far. We spend so much time with our families over the last few days! I woke up this morning, went to the gym, came back and got on email to find SO.MANY.SALES. at stores we shop at pretty regularly. So, I thought…
Where did the summer go? I keep seeing first day of school photos pop up on my feed. While we have another week left of summer vacation, we are most certainly getting ourselves in order to go back to school. We tackled our supply lists this week. I don’t love the effort it takes,…
My #1 best-loved product that I recommend or gift over and over is Giggly Goggles. We don’t go anywhere water related without them. As in, they come with us on trips across the country, to every pool party, and anywhere we know we will be near water. My daughter Annabelle is loving every moment of…
