We just returned from a whirlwind trip to Disney World to cover the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. My family and I had a fabulous time and we would highly recommend going if you have a chance. Since we just spent 3 days at Disney World, we will have a few posts all about our …
Galactagogues. Try to say that fast a few times! If you are a nursing mama, galactagogues will soon be your best friend. Galactagogues are foods, herbs, and medications considered to be milk-inducing. Today I’ll be focusing on just the foods that boost milk supply. By incorporating them in to your daily diet, you just may see …
Since I love holidays and food it will come to no surprise to you that Thanksgiving is my favorite. Our family Thanksgiving always includes the same delicious foods that I look forward to eating all year. Since I’m still somewhat new to having my own family and hence contributing my own food to Thanksgiving, I’ve …
Even though I love to bake, I like things that are easy to make. With three kids underfoot all the time, if the snack is easy to make AND the kids can help me at the same time, it is a huge bonus. So, it got me thinking. Why not combine craft time and snack …
Let me introduce you to Oreo Truffle Snowballs. I’m a huge fan of a delicious Oreo Truffle (aka Balls from Heaven!). They have been my #1 go-to dessert for the past few holiday seasons. This year I wanted to start the season with something different. As I was trying to think of kid-friendly holiday snack …
When you go on a cruise, there is an enormous amount of eating. I mean eating all day long, I-would-never-consume-that-many-calories-in-one-day kind of eating. I think because the food is included in your cruise fare, people seem to associate that with free food. Since people don’t think they are “paying for it” and they can eat …
One of my favorite go-to desserts for the holidays are Oreo Truffles (or as I call them – Balls from Heaven!). They are delicious, easy to make and I don’t know one person who doesn’t like them. They are great for cookie exchanges, holiday parties or any family get-together. Since my friends and family seem …
My holiday baking bonanza has already begun this year. That’s right, it starts before Halloween and doesn’t stop until after New Years. Yikes, that is a long baking bonanza! I’m really going to have to step it up at the gym to counteract all these goodies. Since Halloween is fast approaching, we thought we’d round …
Have you lost your husband to football season yet? Family time taking a backseat to fantasy football meet-ups? The first games of the season were just a few days ago and Sunday (and Saturday if your guy likes college) football is about to take over a lot of households for the next few months. More …
While I’m sad that summer is ending, I’m pretty darn happy that the kids have gone back to school. Before we really get into the swing of school activities, we took a quick trip to visit family over Labor Day weekend as one last summer fling. As I’ve told you guys before, there are a …
I went to St. Louis to visit family a few weekends ago and that means – “let the baking begin”! I can’t go to visit them without whipping up something yummy and fabulous. It is just expected of me these days. The weather was beautiful and the pool temperature was just right, so I needed a …
