Whether you’re doing Whole30 this month or are prepping for one soon … Costco is definitely the place to shop first! As Whole30 and other clean eating diets have grown in popularity, Costco has upped their offerings.

Winter is all about comfort food. Am I right? Things like hot, bubbly, cheesy deliciousness like homemade mac ‘n cheese! I’ve never been one for boxed pasta. Homemade is so much better. And it doesn’t actually take that much longer to prepare. So, boil that pasta – any shape will do – and mix up …
Over the last few years I kept hearing how wonderful the Barefoot Dreams products were. So much so that I finally looked them up. After all, I love nice things and if everyone loved their Barefoot Dreams cardigan/robe/blanket … I probably would too! But, looking it up was where things stopped. $100+ for a sweater? …

The holidays are such a magical time to be preparing for a baby. Thinking of baby names, folding little winter clothes, and enjoying all the Christmas cookies with little guilt! Three years ago, I experienced it all. With a December 28th due date, I ate my fill at Thanksgiving, enjoyed all the pre-Christmas festivities, and …
The other day my husband told me that “quiche” was a grandma food. I honestly don’t know what he is talking about because quiche and frittata (a crustless quiche) just so happens to be one of my favorite breakfast options. And I’m only 32! I tend to keep the same basic egg mixture when I …
I think we can all agree that cannoli are a fantastic addition to any holiday dessert line up. These Italian pastries are crispy and creamy and sweet. And delicious! The only hang up – they’re time consuming to make. At least time consuming in my book. Who has time to fill individual tubes? I prefer …
Right when I think our home library is full and we are in need of no new books, I discover something we can’t live without. Most recently, Muddle and Match books! All four of my children – ages 1, 2, 6, and 8 – love Kane Miller’s Muddle and Match books. They’re fun and silly …
