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, …

Poop or chocolate? My husband is much braver than I am. He will always take a sniff, no matter how gross something looks, in order to discover what a mysterious substance is. And when you start having kids, there WILL be many mysterious substances in the form of wipes, streaks, puddles and smells. If you’ve …

No mom likes household chores, am I right?! Besides laundry, one of my least favorite things to do that needs to be done almost daily is clean the floors. With three kids, a dog and a messy husband, it seems like my floors are always dirty. Our dark wood floors are the worst, because while …

Baby Jogger is at it again with a new addition to their line of uber popular strollers. This time they have taken features from their City Versa and their City Select to create the new City Premier stroller. Some may say that it is VERY similar to the City Versa, which it is, but this …

This summer has been busy with family reunions for both my husband and I. Our trip to his reunion in Wyoming was nothing—just a 4-hour drive time that turned into maybe 5 hours, accounting for the times we stopped for the kids. MY family reunion was another story. The drive from our house in Utah …

So, The Original Squeeze Company, this one’s for you! Read on to learn more about a clever, easy-to-use …

It’s hot out there. I’m probably just being lazy, but when my toddler asks to go outside, I groan a little (a lot) inside because I’m such a wimp when it comes to being in the heat. If we do have to go outside, I’d like there to be water involved, so I can get …

Hello, fellow pizza lovers! Today I’m hear to tell you all about our dinner of choice lately – you guessed it, pizza. I’ve got a picky toddler. Lately, I haven’t had the energy to really battle meal times with him, and I know I can always get pizza in him for dinner. A few years …

I was out to dinner with friends the other night and one of the women made a point to confirm with the server that her beer would be served in a certain type of glass (the correct type for that style of beer). Then she commented to me that, having spent years working in hospitality, …

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, …

Oy. Getting ready to move has made it abundantly clear that we have way too much stuff. In inviting realtors over and trying to show them my home to its best advantage, I realized that some (a lot) of the stuff had to go. Piles and heaping storage bins weren’t going to impress anyone. (The …

A Swedish study was brought to our attention recently and I think it is so important to get the word out on this popular, but dangerous, practice that many parents are doing with their strollers. I’ve been guilty of this mistake many times when my kids were babies. As parents, we always want to do what’s …
