Have you made Grilled Cheese Sticks and Tomato Soup Shooters for your kids? It’s taken me a few years to get it, but I’ve learned that presentation is everything when serving my children a new food. If it looks fun and appetizing, they’re ten times more likely to give it a go. If it looks …
I first fell in love with Italian caprese salad when I was working at a little Italian restaurant in Portland. The mix of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and balsamic quickly became a favorite of mine. Those flavors meld together like no other and caprese salad quickly became one of those dishes where I just can’t stop refilling …
Although my oldest is currently enrolled in Pre-K, I still consider us to be a homeschooling family. Every day is a learning opportunity with these little ones and whether they’re in a formal school setting or 100% at home, I aim to infuse our days with learning activities. I bet you do the same with …
My daughter and I just returned from a mother daughter Disneyland getaway and I have some fun Disney posts planned for you all! First up, why I chose to travel to California during the month of October. Almost every month of the year has perks at Disneyland. Summer dates allow for school accommodations and Christmas …
Remember when the Whole30 and the 21 Day Fix were all the rage? Let’s forget about those for a moment and make gluten free cookies. I’m sure some steadfast folks are still with it, but I was totally derailed once I found out I was pregnant. I need my carbs. My sugar fix. Even though …

And thus began my introduction into all things pasta, fine cheeses, herbs and of course, local chicken: like the kind today’s sponsor, Foster Farms, offers. Italian has always been one of my most favorite cuisines, but I didn’t learn the true art of Italian cooking until watching …

Almost every day I see newborns wrapped in stretchy wraps, early crawlers snuggled in ring slings and happy one year olds piggybacking around in soft structured carriers. It’s so awesome to see parents and caregivers taking advantage of all the benefits of babywearing! And …
Do any of you have a grandparent living with you? Multi-generational living can be quite a blessing, and in our case, it definitely is! My mom moved in with our family over the summer and now that autumn has begun, she and I are on top of our meal planning game. Last week, she whipped …
Let’s all pause for a moment and stare at that creamy caramel apple dip goodness. I promise, it’s sinfully delicious. A true harvest treat and the perfect pairing for all those crisp apples filling our grocery carts these days. Two of my friends recently had babies and they received this as their dessert when I …

Did you know you can teach your kids with an apple taste test? Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Perhaps because my birthday is in October, perhaps because apples and pumpkins are the greatest produce of all. If you’re a fall mama too, pass on the love of the season with this fun “homeschool” …
