It’s just more then just a shoe, it’s Okabashi! When it comes to spring and summer, I am all about the flip flops. I can’t wait til it is flip flop season here in Michigan. For those of you in Florida, I’m jealous. Every year we go to Florida and I love to get new…

Ok friends. For real. It’s almost over. You know…winter. We are *so* close to spring! Can you feel it?! Thought I would give you a taste of impending warmer weather with a salad dressing.

get fit with Kristin McGee :: review
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to review Kristin McGee‘s Prenatal Yoga and Pilates DVD. You can view how wonderful that workout is HERE.

make your mark on valentine’s day :: review
We don’t usually do much to celebrate Valentine’s Day at our house. We might have pink heart pancakes for breakfast or go out for ice cream, but usually no flowers or gifts or that kind of thing. I still like to make the day fun and incorporate some L-O-V-E into our school day though. We…

a simple recipe :: shrimp and sausage jambalaya
One of my favorite things about cooking is stumbling across a recipe I know I will be making over and over again. We are big on pasta in our house, but always seem to have a ton of sauce left over. My husband had the brilliant idea of using the leftover sauce to make jambalaya….
simple lunchbox lunches by MOMables :: review + giveaway
You know what happens when you homeschool? There’s no back-up hot lunch waiting if you don’t get a lunch packed in time.
