One of my favorite things about cooking is stumbling across a recipe I know I will be making over and over again. We are big on pasta in our house, but always seem to have a ton of sauce left over. My husband had the brilliant idea of using the leftover sauce to make jambalaya….
You know what happens when you homeschool? There’s no back-up hot lunch waiting if you don’t get a lunch packed in time. And although my children have learned to make their own sandwiches and wraps, sometimes you get tired of the same old same old. In our most Scooby-rific voice, we call that getting into…
Once or twice a week my girls and I leave our house early (well, early for us) to get to various standing appointments/moms groups. On these days their breakfast of choice is always a bagel. Each morning that I packed their bagels into individual plastic bags I felt rather guilty about all the plastic bags…
My kids love to brush their teeth, which is great! They are kind of picky about the toothpaste though. As a mom, I feel hygiene and health is VERY important to teach at a young age, whether they accept it or not, that’s a different story. I do think that routine is a perfect…
I distinctly remember growing up and playing The Game of Life with my sister. We lived in the country and when we weren’t outside playing, we were inside playing games. Whether it was board games or make-believe games. We were constantly keeping busy with “non” technology. And I’d like to think we turned out ok!…
When my girls were born, they both had thick, dark hair that would hold hairbows. But several of our friends had the cutest little bald-headed babies and I remember hearing them talk about using those stretchy headbands to hold in bows and clips or using sticky substances to make those teeny tiny hairbows stick –…
When I first started feeding my son solids, I was amazed at how difficult it was for him to eat off of a spoon. It seemed like he was always leaving food on the back of the spoon or smearing it all over his face. Seeing he was struggling, I decided to try his spoon…
Ok, so I know I just shared a pot roast recipe a few weeks ago, but pot roast is almost a weekly menu item for us. I thought it might be for your family too, especially during the winter months (ahhhhh, comfort food!!). I get so bored with the same old same old ‘cream of…
We’re well past the bib-wearing stage in our house, but at almost every single meal we have a spill that requires more than just one napkin. We’re also cloth napkin people, so requiring more than one napkin per person can add quite a bit to the laundry. So I decided to make my own super-absorbent…
We are preparing for when we buy a home! I want to have everything all set. My son needed new bedding, so of course I turned to Beyond Bedding for this! They have the ultimate selection and great patterns. We chose the boys designer modern designer dots. It has the perfect colors and very fashionable…
What is it about my babies turning 4 and 5 months old that turns on their drool faucets and makes them want to bite *everything*?! The Nawgum teether from Mello & Company couldn’t have come at a better time! Caitlyn has become very fond of her thumb…and chewing on just about her whole fist!…
This past summer at my family’s annual 4th of July get-together I noticed that one of my cousins had on a nifty bracelet. Asking her about it I discovered that she was wearing a Road ID in case she ever had something happen while she did all her Triathlon training (turns out it was the…
