Why is it that when you have a baby everyone feels they need to just come up and touch your baby? Not really appropriate when you don’t know the person. Even kids do it. One thing to make a mom happy is to just look and not touch. We, as moms, try to keep our baby’s…
Home to me has always been about the people there and not so much the place. As much as I love to have a clean, nice place to live, I love even more making memories with our family. Our home is still a work in progress! With an old farmhouse things are always coming up…
Pools, beaches and splash pads are starting to be our norm for the summer. Water anything! If we can’t make it somewhere, we put the sprinkler over by the trampoline and they jump around on it with the water splashing on them. It looks pretty fun. They really seem to like it. While this is…
I’ve written before about the snack subscription Love With Food. I love it because they send a variety of snacks every month so I can try lots of options without buying full boxes of everything. Then I know just what to look for when I’m shopping. And now Love With Food has acquired Send Me…
When summer rolls around my family takes every chance we can to get out and enjoy ourselves. Whether it be a trip to the lake, exploring a new city, playing with friends, or just doing a marathon of errands so that our other days are free, you will rarely find us sitting at home. Of…
I love a cold drink in the summer. In fact, I start every day with a smoothie, have an iced coffee every afternoon and usually finish off dinner with another cold treat. So I thought I’d share a few of those recipes with you. Even in the summer when so many amazing fruits and veggies…
A couple weeks back I got a surprise package in the mail from my friends at General Mills. At first I was confused because it was for cereal… and pizza. Yeah. Not exactly two things that you think of going well together, but the recipes they had sent me (with some pretty amazing looking photos)…
It’s been one week out of school and I’m seeing all across social media how kids are already talking about how they are bored…and parents are frustrated that their kids can’t figure out something to do. So, with that in mind, I wanted to share with you all some fun games you can pick up quite…
We just moved. It’s insanity over here, seriously. Ok, we didn’t JUST move, but we moved about 3 weeks ago. So, close enough. With moving comes the purging…or the non-purging of some areas. You see, I wanted to get things all organized BEFORE the move, but I ran out of time. I had to get quite…
I have a three-year-old. A very strong- willed three-year-old. And the twice daily toothbrushing routine was a struggle. Struggle isn’t a strong enough word, really. It was a battle. One I honestly dreaded. It got a bit better as he got older, but it was still a huge struggle too get him to open his…
There is just something about flowers that cheers the soul. I mean, besides for the beautiful color & shapes, there is also the amazing smell that make flowers so special. Most importantly though, the thought that go into someone sharing flowers with you can make a bad day turn completely around. Whether you’re looking to…
Every summer I face the same dilemma. Either use a sunscreen that works but contains yucky, impossible to pronounce, cancer-causing ingredients. Or use something natural but leave my skin (and my kids skin) under-protected and suffer the consequences of sunburn. Generally I just find something in between and go with it, figuring I did the best…
