When my son started climbing out of his Pack N Play, I started thinking about what our options would be for travel. As our third child, the Pack N Play made staying in one hotel room easy since we came with our own bed. While looking into sleeping bags, tents and other options, I came…
LEGOs….parents have been cursing them and praising them for decades! So much emotion wrapped up in a tiny little building block 😉 Despite the pain experienced when stepping on those little bricks (seriously, how is it that they are invisible until you step on them?), I adore LEGOs and LEGO style building toys. They are…
Summer might be winding down here in Michigan, but that doesn’t mean thoughts of summer fun need to… There’s always next year!! So as cooler weather comes upon us, have fun dreaming of soaking up the rays next summer while let you kids have fun with Designer Noodle in the pool. Designer Noodle puts a fun spin on your classic…
Fall is coming and it’s going to be time for some apple picking and making some apple crisp. My favorite fall treat! Along with warm casseroles and lasagna. I will share my apple crisp recipe with you, but first you need to keep reading about this pretty awesome baking dish that I will be baking…
Back to School season is not just for the kids – it’s for the entire family! It is a perfect time to get organized and back into a routine after a relaxing summer. Do you plan your meals for dinner? Do you have a set schedule? Getting ourself organized in the last week before school…

Do you love root beer? Did you know that there were so many different types of root beers? I sure didn’t. You would think they would all taste the same, but not all do. Are you looking for the ultimate gift? The culture and hobby of drinking and collecting gourmet root beer in bottles is…
Farm to fork. It’s all the rage in restaurants–and for good reasons. But when shopping at the store or online for groceries, it’s hard to know where your food actually comes from. I can’t just stop by my local farmer’s market for rice, sugar or rock salt, but how can I know what companies are…
At the beginning of this month, we moved into our new (to us) home. We’ve finally gotten most of the boxes emptied, and we’re just getting around the the fun part: decorating! My 8 year old daughter and I have had so much fun planning how to decorate the girls’ room. She and I both love…
Onesies, sleeps sacks, hats and diapers. Oh My! I love onesies. They seriously are the easiest clothing item to put on your child. It keeps them warm and covers everything. They go under an outfit for the winter and in the summer they can just sport it alone due to it being so hot. Simply…
Are you having a baby soon or had a baby recently and do not have everything you need yet? I could raise my hand and say yes on that one. In less then 3 months, I am going to NEED to be prepared and ready to go for this baby girl! One of the products…
What did the summer of 2015 look like? When my sweet little boy is grown and gone, I will forever remember the summer of 2015 from this one single picture. If “a picture is worth a thousand words” is true, this photo perfectly embodies that phrase for me. The obvious smear of dirt and ashes…
