It’s time for Chocolate Bird Nests Treats! Spring has officially arrived as of March 20th! Are you excited as we are about the changing season? Goodbye winter! Hello sunshine and brighter days! My daughter is thrilled. She’s four and gets real amped up about the changing seasons. It’s pretty darn cute as she marks off …

Have your littles discovered this book? It’s a favorite of ours and has been for years now. I’ll admit I almost have it memorized … as do my two kids. Through a sweet little rhyme you hear the story of cute little animals and their corresponding sounds. The darling little lamb is always a big …

I’ll start off by saying – THIS IS A WHOLE30 COMPLIANT RECIPE – yay! But, even if you’re not on the Whole30 bandwagon, this veggie egg scramble is delicious and has been a breakfast staple of mine for quite some time. It’s fresh and filling, and exactly what busy parents need to start their day …

Ten years ago, pre-children, in my spare time I would grab a coffee and roam the mall. I worked in an office and went on lots of date nights with my husband so I was always up for finding a new blouse, pair of heels or cute dress that could sway from days to nights. …

In our home, art projects range in excitement. I get an “ok” if I propose a craft with crayons and a “yay!” if markers are brought to the table. But, if I say the word “paint” it’s like heaven on earth. Paint is the secret sauce for a popular craft project around here! We’ve applied …

We have a pretty heavy rotation of favorite books around our house, but what I love most about the changing seasons is the opportunity to introduce NEW books! With Valentine’s Day around the corner it’s the perfect opportunity to amp up our reading on the topic of L-O-V-E with board books. So, whether you’re heading …

My 4 year old and I homeschool for preschool, but that doesn’t mean we don’t incorporate the tradition of Valentine’s Day cards. Nope! We embrace them – big time – and like coming up with simple (but fun and cheap) ways to share our love with her little friends and our family. When all was said …

Every year I make a reading goal. I love reading, always have, but with a toddler glued to me (literally, I wish I could share a video of my little monkey!) and a preschooler who is constantly ready to engage in a project or activity it’s hard to find the time! Can I get an …

The last time I was on an airplane was in 2011 with my husband and our 12 month old daughter. We were headed to Texas to visit family and it seemed manageable to travel with 2 adults and 1 child. The ratio was in our favor and for most of our flights she was content …

Deep breath my mama friends … the New Year is upon us! Since the 1st I’ve felt really cliche setting my annual goals, making lists of projects I want to accomplish, and starting a new “diet.” Sometimes it feels like there is a lot of weight put on January – to start off strong and …
