get outside and bring stearns puddle jumpers with you :: review and giveaway
The combination of open water and kids gives me the hives. Not really, but kind of. I did not grow up a strong swimmer. Water has always kind of freaked me out a little bit. Here is the kicker though, our family LOVES the beach, we love the pool…we love everything water! So staying away…

a simple real food recipe :: zucchini coleslaw :: dairy free option
Confession: I have been cooped up for the last 5 months in the cold and snow…the last thing I want to do once the weather is as gorgeous as it has been, is sit in front of the stove! I’m a bit like a sun deprived, vitamin D depleted, caged animal. I love cool coleslaw…

a simple real food tip :: batch cooking chicken meat for lunches :: avoiding expensive and toxic deli meat
I mentioned in Monday’s post about travel yogurt cups that I can pretty much guarantee that my husband would go all day on an apple at work if I didn’t make sure there were easy lunch options available to pack 😉 Our budget just plain doesn’t afford organic, quality lunch meat, as delicious as it…
endless alphabet, the app that keeps on giving :: review
There’s nothing quite like finding yourself in the car, at 6:30 PM with a child who is about to take a nap. I’ve learned that naps cannot happen at 6:30 PM for ANY length of time. Even a 5 minute snooze will result in my craziest of children running around until 11 PM with an…

a simple craft :: handprint and footprint art
I absolutely love doing handprint and footprint art with my kids. Not only do they think it’s super fun to dip their hands and feet in paint and see those prints on paper but I get a small keepsake that, in 15 or 20 years, we can pull out and reminisce at how little those…
