Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and sometimes it is very difficult to pick out a gift – especially if the Mother, Grandmother, Step-Mother, Mother Figure, Friend, Aunt, etc. seemingly has everything. Gift certificates can be a good option but not always. So, here are a few alternative gift ideas for that mother who is difficult…
What is one thing in your kitchen that makes cooking or baking easier for you? My response would be not doing it at all, but we know that’s not reality. Okay, so for the most, for me that is reality….my hubby does most of the cooking. Which makes me happy to no end. Getting a…
There are so many amazing products for first time moms and moms of growing families on the market today! I remember when I was pregnant with my first baby how overwhelming it was to walk into Target or Babies R’ Us and try to figure out what I actually needed and what products were…
I know weather varies wildly across our audience, but here in Michigan we are enjoying what many of us refer to as “fourth winter”. With snow, ice and virtually everything canceled, we’ve been sticking mostly inside. Here are a few things we’ve done to stay busy and have fun! Indoor sports. My boys are the…
Sometimes there’s nothing better in the early morning than the sound of the coffee pouring into the pot from the coffee maker! I love how the smell fills the house and I get ready to start my day with my favorite treat, a hot cup of coffee! I’ve been starting out my morning a little earlier…
I got my first diary when I was in first grade. It had big pink, purple, and yellow hearts on the cover. I remember writing about boys I liked from school and what we had for dinner. When I was in 6th grade, I received a beautiful journal with an impressionistic-style piano scene on the…

When talking about protein-rich foods, however, many people aren’t sure how to include them without adding too much fat or sugar to their diets. Understanding nutrition and…
We are finally in the final stretch of sports classes, practices, and extra curricular activities and I can say that throughout this year I’ve become quite adept at entertaining a toddler/preschooler while the big kids have activities. Snacks, toys, and people watching are great ways to keep the littlest one occupied for the long stretches…
Spring is a time when the snow (hopefully) has melted and we welcome refreshing scents and bright colors back into our lives. My day doesn’t officially begin until I have had a shower. Turn your shower into a rejuvenating spa with Hydra Bliss Hydrating Body Wash, with the scents of coconut water, blueberry, cucumber water…
“Love the one your with.” I think of this phrase so often as I think of my cell phone especially and all the ways it can pull me in different directions when the people I love are right in front of me longing for my attention. Many times those people are my little people that I…
We are only a quarter of the way in to the year and I will freely admit that my inspiration for family dinners has completely tanked. In much need of some inspiration for meals I turned to my favorite sharers of good food on Instagram. In case you’re thinking “Instagram? Not Pinterest?” there is a…
Let me preface this post by saying I’m by no means a beauty blogger, but I am a real mom that uses and enjoys skin care products. I am 3/4 of the way from being over the hill. I have noticed my skin change a lot in my 30’s. Some good changes (less acne), but…
