When the weather changes, my menu tends to change too. So, adios oatmeal, hello crepes with fresh fruit filling! This recipe is a staple in my sister’s kitchen. For a while, my daughter was even convinced that only her aunt could make crepes! But I proved her wrong and surprised her with a fancy spring breakfast …

Ugh. I feel like I’m beating my head against a wall right now. My husband and I are getting feedback that our daughter’s writing needs improvement, but we haven’t been able to find a way to get her to practice that doesn’t resolve in wailing and gnashing of teeth. Until now! Check out these great …

Let’s talk about a pregnant life essential – leggings! I mean, technically leggings are all the time essential in my opinion, but particularly when expecting, because I want nothing to do with constricting fabrics or seams that cut into my growing belly. During my third pregnancy I searched high and low for the perfect pair of …

It is starting to warm up here in the Northeast, and we are finally (FINALLY) heading into my beloved outdoor season! We have been cooped up for the majority of winter trying to avoid the dreaded stomach bugs and flu. Now it’s time to get outside and play! My kids love the playground, like all …

It doesn’t sound pleasant at all, and it most definitely leaves you feeling unsexy …

Picky eaters have to be one of the biggest challenges of parenting. My gut instinct is to say, “Eat what I prepare or don’t eat,” right? However, I’ve learned that sometimes picky eating isn’t about a simple, willful refusal to try new or different foods. It can be anything from parent modeling, to a lack …

**I’d like to begin this post with an obvious disclaimer. As we know, all pregnancies are different and each mother has their own limits of tolerance with various symptoms.

My family has been impatiently waiting to see the new live-action Beauty and the Beast since we first heard about it forever ago! We weren’t able to go on opening weekend (ballet recital practices and performances), but we did get to go on day four of the release. Here’s our movie review! Oh, before I …

As a family, dinner is a very special time in our house because it’s always the one time, that no matter how busy we are or how many after school activities we have, we always come together. It’s a time for finding out how the kids’ day went, what is on the schedule for the …
