Despite the fact that I started my day in a winter coat, spring is here! And while I’m ready for the sunshine, my skin isn’t! Yep, it spent the winter getting dried out in the indoor heat and bitter cold outside. Even with amazing skin care products, my skin is ready for a refresher in…
All too often, I’ll walk into one of my child’s rooms only to find dirty laundry on the floor. I’m always baffled that the few steps to their hamper seem to be more of a marathon when it comes to taking care of their laundry! So I’ve decided to make it fun. My 9-year-old son…
You guys. I review a lot of products but I am super excited to share this one with you. I only recently heard about Nucleus and wasn’t really sure how often we would use a home intercom system. But then we got a Nucleus and I realized how much MORE it is than an intercom! This…
When my kids were little, there were two options for putting your child in a sitting position: the Boppy pillow and the Bumbo seat. The Boppy, while soft, didn’t provide any support at all and would just slide away from the baby. The Bumbo really did help my children sit up, but it was hard…
I can’t believe Easter is already next week! I just finished up buying the rest of my Easter basket supplies for the kids and I know they’re going to love them. I love to be sneaky and fill Easter baskets with a few things I’ll probably end up getting my kids anyway. And then adding…
I’m usually fairly good at knowing where things are. Except when I’m not. Know what I mean? When I shove my keys in my pocket because it’s too hard to pull in the garbage and recycling with my keys in hand. But then I have no idea where they are when they’re not on my…

I love starting off my day with a smoothie. But on days when I have a little more time in the morning, I like to keep that smoothie super thick and serve it in a bowl with toppings. It’s a rare day that I can sit down and eat my breakfast uninterrupted, so I take…
The other evening I went to an event at my son’s school. I got so many compliments on my outfit that night that I had to share a few tips I’ve been using to help revive my closet a bit! 1. Know your style. The leggings that are adorable on everyone else make me feel…
Monster Trucks! Need I say more? My youngest son is so captivated by monster trucks. In fact, all he wanted for Christmas was for his dad to get a real monster truck. While that was an obvious impossibility, this weekend we are heading to the next best thing. Monster Jam! This will be our first…
How many of you love planning meals, grocery shopping and crossing your fingers that the meals you chose are going to be “kid-approved”? I’m guessing there’s not too many of you raising your hands here. I really think that’s why homecooked meals are becoming a thing of the past. It’s not really the cooking–it’s everything…
We all love having some super simple, well-liked recipes in our nightly dinner repertoire. If 4 out of the 5 in my family like a recipe, it’s a keeper for sure. And this is one that 4 of us like as is and my youngest likes with just a little tweak. So it’s a big…
