Thanks to today’s sponsor, Foster Farms (and their amazing chicken!), I’m super excited to introduce you to not only a new recipe, but a new way of thinking about food! To start off, a few quick questions — What do you think of when you hear the phrase “comfort food”? Has your idea of comfort food …

Growing up, my mom was the queen of lunchbox notes. She didn’t send them every day, honestly, sometimes there were weeks between notes, but what matters is that she sent them. And when she did, my whole day felt extra special. Now with kids of my own I make it a point to leave them little …

This post is sponsored by Huggies. A positive pregnancy test brings about a flurry of emotion – excitement, worry, love, fear, and anticipation to name a few. For a few days or weeks you ride the high of what life will be like in 9 months. And then, morning sickness strikes. I’ve done it 3 …

In January I had my 3rd baby and for some reason I thought I could manage through another year of nursing with my leftover nursing bras for baby #1 and baby #2. Boy, was I wrong! Not only were those bras a bit too loved, they didn’t fit very well, so off to Nordstrom I went …

Sometime around kindergarten, loose teeth start happening and the tooth fairy begins her work for the next few years! It’s exciting and monumental and another thing moms and dads need to remember to keep the joy of childhood alive! So, rather than digging for cash, keep a small tote of cash free tooth fairy options …

I don’t claim to have many signature meals, but this one, is one of them! This Artichoke Stuffed Chicken Breasts is a homerun meal! Artichoke stuffed chicken breast sounds a little labor intensive, but I promise, it’s not. It’s one of those meals that you can whip up in the morning while breakfast is cooking, …

So you’ve got your kid’s school shopping lists all accounted for (and my oh my, what a list that is!), but before you head to the store for said school supplies I wanted to pop in and remind you to add a few extra things. No, no, not because I’m trying to break your back …

I’m a pretty frequent coffee drinker, but when I want to change it up, I always turn to chai tea. In the world of chai there are hundreds of choices. I’ve sampled my fair share and have fallen in love with David Rio Chai Mix. There are quite a few flavors in this particular line, …

By far my favorite hobby is reading. It always has been. I just love a good story! Add a hot bath or a cozy blanket and cup of chai and I’m one happy mama. For awhile I thought I would need to give up or slow down my reading time when I became a mom, …

I’m a fan of ice cream all year round… as I’m sure you are, but this week is extra special for all us ice cream loving ladies because July 17th is National Ice Cream Day! Hooray! And we have homemade ice cream recipes to celebrate! What better way to celebrate Nation Ice Cream Day than by …

“Please, please sit on the potty and just try… it’s so… FUN!” This was me. For months. I begged and pleaded. Read 2 books on potty training. Bribed and borderline threatened. I tried being gentle and understanding. I tried being firm and no nonsense. I paused efforts for a few weeks or months and then …

Simple, delicious lunches are no doubt God’s gift to busy moms. Once the littles are served up (and most assuredly, ready for seconds), it’s time for mom to whip up some nourishment for herself. My usual go to is some sort of leftover from a previous meal, but on the days where I start fresh …
