If you clicked on this recipe, I’m super happy! You’re going to love and adore it! It’s the perfect dessert for picnics, birthdays or just because afternoons. Have you heard of Hello Dollies? I know it takes some guts to take a chance on a dessert called “Hello Dollies.” It’s an odd name, and no, I …

Summer season is around the corner and that means two things. One, wonderful weather that will take us outside often. Two, I have less time for meal prep and definitely don’t want to spend that short time with the heat of the stove or oven. That’s why this recipe for Greek Orzo Pasta is perfect …

This easy DIY puzzle makes a great craft time activity for your child. If you have a preschooler in your midst there is no doubt in my mind that your home is overflowing with art projects. Ours is! Probably 10+ new things a week! We display many of my daughter’s treasures, but at some point, …

Run, don’t walk, to Amazon and order this Dinner Winner Plate! I know, I know. I can hear you saying it now, “Our kid plate/bowl/cup drawer is already overflowing, we don’t need another plate.” Or, “NOTHING will help my child’s pickiness … nothing.” I thought the same things, I promise. But the Dinner Winner plate is …

We are library books people. Both the kids and I. We constantly have a big ol’ pile of children’s books, CDs, novels and homeschool books at our fingertips. And, if I may take a moment to brag, it’s already May and we have $0 in overdue fees! That’s got to be a record for us! …

Bedtime hasn’t aways been easy at my house. Truly, I wouldn’t even consider it “easy” now. We have our nights with many wake ups, stalling and crying over brushing teeth (I mean, how dare I try to do that dreaded task twice a day!) – I think it comes with the cards. The cards of …

With two young children, sleeping in really isn’t on my radar for Mother’s Day. I’ve resigned to that fact and am actually fine with it. Who needs sleep when I’m running on the love fuel of motherhood? Laugh with me, please because let’s face it, love can only carry us so far! Up with the sunrise means …

In many cultures, May Day is celebrated with parties and food to welcome the beginning of Spring. It’s not a huge holiday here in the US, but May 1st does allow for a few fun traditions. One of which I’m excited to introduce you to today! It all started years ago with my grandma. Due …

Gorgeous spring weather has arrived in the Pacific Northwest – projected to hit and maintain 70 degrees all this coming week! For me, that means moving some of my gym runs to the outdoors and I can’t wait. There is nothing like running in the fresh air and that means my jogging stroller is along …

For years I collected those “5 Ingredients Or Less” type of recipes. Simple speaks to me. I love these recipes because they’re easy, less expensive and almost always, quite delicious! That’s why I’m sharing my recipe for roasted coconut cinnamon apples today. It is a big hit around here – the perfect breakfast side, afternoon …

Rub-a-dub-dub … we’re adding bubbles to our tub! Today we are making DIY Bubble Bath. Evening baths just aren’t the same in our house without a dose of bubble bath. The kids love adding it to the water and swirling it around; I love the calm scent it gives to the bathroom. We pretty much …

Remember when I polled ya’ll for my recent trip across the country? Well, I’m back and so excited to share some of the things I learned while traveling with a 2 and 4 year old and that’s including activities for the airplane. The first leg of our trip included our adventure to the airport (we …
