My daughter keeps asking if it’s winter yet, but then quickly corrects herself by saying, “Nope! I see leaves falling from the trees – it’s fall still!” We bundled up for a brisk walk and decided to …

Has anyone thought of telling their kids that Santa won’t be coming to deliver presents this year because of Covid-19? That it would not be smart for him to go into every single person’s house in the world and then come into ours? I know I’m not alone in Covid-19 taking a hit to my …

I’m always on the hunt for easy art projects for my preschoolers. They love joining in on our craft time – especially if it involves paint – and this lettuce bottom paint printing project is just the ticket! After prepping taco salads for my husband and I, I handed off the romaine lettuce trimmings to …

I went to pull out my Christmas decor (I know, I know, Thanksgiving hasn’t even passed yet) and I noticed I’m kind of lacking in the indoor decoration department. So if you’re like me and you want something easy to DIY for Christmas décor this year, I’ve rounded up three (plus a bonus) of the …

I live almost an hour from my nearest Trader Joe’s. That means when I plan a Trader Joe’s visit, it’s a real event. I go with a long list of favorites and some leeway to add new finds to my cart. All that to say, my latest TJ’s haul proved to be very successful in …
