My husband used to ask me to wake up with him in the mornings to make a fresh pot of coffee and a hot breakfast. But his day starts by 5 AM and well… I don’t do 5 AM. While o-dark-thirty and I are not on friendly terms I can still do the fresh coffee…
A couple weeks ago my family took a mini-vacation. Even though we had plans for fun with friends, exploring, and the ever awesome indoor water park, I knew it was imperative that we bring along some toys. The perfect travel companion/toy carryall for this mini-vacation was the new Swoop Mini. You may remember Swoop Bags…
We all know the benefits of drinking water, but sometimes plain water is just plain boring. Thanks to the Flavor It Pitcher from Primula my family has been enjoying flavored water, as well as some other fun beverages. The Flavor It Pitcher is pretty darn cool. It is a 3-in-1 beverage system that allows you…
I started dabbling in eggnog recipes a couple years ago. My husband loves the eggnog.I never grew up on the stuff, so I didn’t really know what it was. He would buy a few cartons for himself between Thanksgiving and Christmas and that was that. Quite a few years ago when I started looking at…

We usually have some form of spaghetti squash every other week here 🙂 It’s inexpensive, feeds a good 2-3 meals worth here, and kinda feels like an indulgence since it is so “noodle-y”! I usually make an alfredo sauce, tomato spaghetti sauce, or just plain butter, salt, and pepper for over top. Occasionally I use…
Shortly after the birth of my first daughter, I started reading about toxic chemicals in soap – even popular baby soaps. I got pretty picky about what I was willing to buy for bath time, which ended up limiting a lot of the fun “bubble bath” type kids soaps. It was kind of disappointing to…
We have recently had a some BIG milestones events in our family. The most recent of which was my oldest daughter turning 5. Yep, a whole hand! This year instead of coordinating a big party we planned a weekend away with some friends. With two kids celebrating the big “5” within weeks of each other…
Here is a fantastic batch up lunch you can make up on a Sunday night for the first part of the week. And it takes just as long as it takes to make a few hard boiled eggs! We love egg salad served on sourdough or homemade soaked bread, on thick tomato or cucumber slices,…
