With baby #3 on HIS way, we’re in full baby naming swing at our house. It’s such a hard balance to find something both my husband and I like, something the kids enjoy and something that is meaningful. We’ve pulled the short lists from my previous pregnancies, but the perfect name hasn’t found us yet. …
Summertime is the perfect time to mix up special drinks after dinner as a sweet little dessert. Thankfully, Italian Creamosas are perfect for the entire family and totally versatile! Love extra cream? Add another splash. Want to mix and match flavors? Be my guest! To be perfectly honest, I’m sipping one now and it has …
I’m a reader. Always have been. When I don’t know something or want to learn more about a certain topic I head to the library and stock up! Facebook has also been a great resource for adding books to my reading list. Whether it be a request for fiction or a parenting book, my friends …
Before I actually started breastfeeding I had a pretty limited knowledge of what all it would entail. I recalled my mom breastfeeding my two sisters and there was mention of it in my Bradley birth class. I really wanted to nurse my baby, and do it well, but the actual logistics of breastfeeding were a bit …
Years ago I stumbled upon a food truck in Portland and fell in love with grilled cheese all over again, specifically dessert grilled cheese. Their menu was vast and inspirational – grilled cheese is obviously for every kind of taste bud! One of my favorite sandwiches was a dessert variation of grilled cheese and I …
Today we are talking about quotes for moms. By Fridays I’m usually at my wits end with motherhood. It’s exhausting – the day in and day out of diapers, picky eaters and laundry. The monotony of everyday can wear on a mama and sometimes we just need a lightning bolt of encouragement. I’ll often memorize …
Let’s face it, only a small percentage of the year’s weather is appropriate for campfires and thus, s’more roasting. But does that mean we need to deprive our kids (and ourselves) of this decadence? No, not one bit! If you have an oven, you’re in luck! Oven Made S’mores can be your dessert of choice all …
Our little one isn’t due until December, but that hasn’t stopped me from dreaming up their little corner of slumber perfection! In a corner of our guest room I’m getting a space ready just for our baby and the highlight will be a darling nursery mobile tucked into the corner. Not only are mobiles eye-catching for …
My daughter and I are flying to Disneyland for a girl’s only adventure this fall and I’m absolutely giddy with anticipation. At just 2 weeks shy of her 5th birthday, this will be her first visit and I just know it will be absolutely magical! We’re going as budget as possible and with that, I’ve …
Some of the ingredients in microwave popcorn bags is just yucky. Which is what made me decide to check out how to make popcorn myself. Thankfully, it’s 10x easier than I ever imagined. And WAY yummier! First up, you don’t need a popcorn machine! Such good news for me because we don’t have a pantry …
Seattle, Washington boasts tons of amazing activities for families, but the Pacific Science Center will always be one of my top picks. Over the years I’ve probably visited 15 times, as a child myself and now as a mama. Here in the Northwest most kids take a field trip at some point and growing up my …
