Cooking with kids can go one of two ways – super awesome or super tragic. Honestly, I’ve had more tragic moments than awesome ones. It usually leaves me shoo-ing my kids from the kitchen most days. I mean, a mama needs her space and if the kitchen is my place to find it, well, so be it! But …

Yes, you read that right, Keenz has morphed everything parents love about a stroller and paired it with the amazing capabilities of a wagon. It’s a …
This is one of those recipes where I feel silly even typing it out – it is that easy! But, since it is a super crowd pleaser and perfect for potlucks and picnics I just have to share! I remember the first time I had cornbread cake. It was at a church gathering and I …
I know, it’s the worst thing to think about your child getting hurt. And burns tend to be the most awful. In my experience, they are one of the worst injuries because of their intensity and the path to recovery. I’ve always been one to believe that being prepared helps to ease an emergency though. So, what …
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love and adore my children. I wouldn’t trade them for the world! My little trio of sunshines brighten my day and make this life worth living. I’m not even joking! Motherhood is my dream come true and as worn out as I get, I’m still so very thankful. There are …
More than ever I’m trying my best to be mindful in the purchases I make. It is my hope to support local farmers, small businesses (especially mama makers!), companies that have fair business practices. Why does this matter? Well, because people’s lives and livelihoods are at stake. I don’t support child labor. I want moms …
There are a few lucky parents out there with children who love vegetables. I do not have those children; also, I was not one of those children. And it’s not just green things, generally, my kids are just adverse to anything in the veggie family. The good news is… children grow up, they get brave, …
At the beginning of this month, I decided to cut gluten from my daughter’s diet. She has a few signs of being gluten intolerant and I wanted to head off any long term issues by being proactive now. Problem is, she and I both have quite the sweet tooth, and, well, most delicious treats are …
Almost 10 years ago when I was building my wedding registry I didn’t know about the Instant Pot. Truly, I hadn’t even heard of it. How I missed this brilliant piece of kitchen equipment, I’ll never know. But now that I DO know, I can’t wait to share about it with you! My favorite thing about the …
I’ve always struggled with preparing Asian recipes at home. I can’t get enough of spring rolls, pad thai, and curry when I dine out, but for some reason those recipes never transpire quite right at home. I don’t think I have enough patience or perhaps knowledge of the right ingredients. But, I keep trying and …
With Easter right around the corner, it’s time to start meal planning! Whether you’re joining a large gathering or hosting your own, intimate dinner, side dishes will always be a big part of holiday meals. For Easter celebrating I alternate between a brunch theme and a more traditional dinner. This year I’ve got a wonderful roast …
My kids have hit a dreaded milestone – the milestone of pet realization. I say “dreaded” for multiple reasons … 1) Personally, I am not a pet person 2) When a family gets a pet, it almost always becomes the mom’s responsibility, see #1 3) Pets cost money and take time and attention, both of …
