I try to keep at least one bottle of Welch’s Sparkling on hand at our house. Besides for just being fun to drink, Welch’s Sparkling juices are a great way to turn any event into a special event. Because it’s non-alcoholic Welch’s Sparkling is also the perfect choice for everyone in the family. Available in…
Last week these great Dinosaur Train Halloween costumes from California Costume Collections showed up at our house. Within 5 minutes I had a Buddy the T-Rex and a Tiny Pteranodon running around. You see, my girls love Dinosaur Train. L.O.V.E. Love, Dinosaur Train. All you have to do is say “T-Rex” and my 2 year…
It is never too soon to start thinking about the upcoming holidays – you know, the ones where we send Winter Wishes, Merry Christmas thoughts and Hanukkah blessings? Now that it is October, I feel it’s crunch time to get my family’s pictures taken so we can share them with our family and friends via…
Alright, be honest. How many Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes have you had this season already?! Ok, here’s the deal. I’m not down on Starbucks. But I am down on a delicious drink that I can only justify having once or twice a year because of its price! (And maybe I am a little down on…
This is one of my favorite recipes to make in the fall 🙂 Why? Because it makes the whole house smell…just. plain. delicious! I know it can sound daunting to core up 4-5 pounds of apples, but it is so worth it! And it really goes pretty fast! We usually do about 4 or 5…

What a fun time of year! If you haven’t already, I’m sure you are planning a pumpkin patch trip local to you 🙂 I know we are! We usually do a pumpkin trip around the first of October, and then spend a day roasting them off to make up pumpkin purees for the season. Everything…
Decorating for fall is almost as exciting for me as Christmas! Something about this time of year. The change of season, schedules, routines, colors, temperature, even flavors…apple cider, pumpkin, cinnamon, etc… It’s just magical. Especially in the midwest where temperatures become cool, crisp, and so comfortable. Now that is late September, I’ve decided it’s time…
During our kitchen event this week, I’m hoping to share some ideas for creating healthy eating habits in your kiddos! Today I’m going to show you how I let my girls help out in the kitchen with age appropriate tasks, and tomorrow I’m going to show you how we do kitchen play! I don’t think…
You all know how I feel about the offerings of My Little Pixies Bowtique. I had to share this with my fellow Michiganders. If you are in the West Michigan area, please take some time tomorrow and stop by her house! She is having a wonderful Open House. Don’t only think day to day items,…
