I know everyone is loving the recipe we did a while back on the weekly crockpotted chicken. It is SO easy, convenient, and delicious. I’m enjoying the comments and emails about how that recipe has benefited your families! Now that the weather is cooler, however, I have been flipping a warm oven on once a…

I am a picture freak. I love taking them, looking through them, embellishing them, etc. Having small kids, I find it difficult to carve out time (and space) to do much “traditional scrapbooking” these days, so my phone allows me to do something creative very quickly and easily.

Yes please! Elderberry Life grows…
The older my children get, the more I’m learning that it’s easier if I don’t do everything for them. It’s good for them and me if they practice some independence. With that said, I’m really excited about this product. Pixie Splitz are shoe inserts that help your child know if they are putting their shoes…

One of the baby steps I love helping people make is getting cold cereal out. That is a hard one. Well at least people think it will be at first. But it is worth it. Cold cereals are toxic. The process the grains go through to become a flake, an “O”, or whatever shape your…
