The classic grilled cheese sandwich is totally my jam. But what I really love is a fancy grilled cheese. Grilled cheese is as simple as recipes get, delicious, and can easily be modified for less adventurous eaters. So, while one of my kids requested “just cheese” and the other opted for “turkey and cheese, please” I was …

Almost as soon as I got a positive pregnancy test, the questions started. What next? Am I ready? Will this baby be a girl or boy? What names will we choose? Will I throw up so much I’ll die? Will he or she come with all ten toes? Sometimes, we feel a little dumb for …

I’m pretty skeptical of iPad games that claim to be all about learning. I prefer hands on options for my little ones and we really don’t incorporate the iPad into much of our daily life. But, after hearing about Tiggly off and on I decided to do a little more research. Tiggly Math, and the …

In my town, we have a little popcorn shop that sells a varying selection of hundreds of flavors of popcorn. And I thought that was really weird until my family decided to stop in for the first time and the owner encouraged us to taste some of everything that was available. I can now say …

Looking for playdate ideas? You’ve spent a day cleaning like a maniac. You have a selection of nutritious, tasty, and Instagram-worthy snacks prepared. Everyone is dressed in clothes that say “I’m put together, but not trying too hard.” Now you’re all sitting very still—not taking any chances that something will be put out of place …

Strollers can be one of the largest investments you make for your baby. Sadly, it’s hard to save money on strollers unless the manufacturer is holding a sale when you happen to be looking because most store coupons exclude high end strollers (I’m looking at you Buy Buy Baby). That’s why we are sharing six …

In the last 3 and a half years, I have been through six different diaper bags. Six. Some fell apart, some simply disappointed me with their designs. Six different diaper bags, all different brands and price points, and they all fell short. Once my baby became mobile, I realized I needed a better diaper bag solution …

Disneyland is probably one of my most favorite places in the world. The sights (that castle!), the smells (hello churros!), the adventure (take me home, Splash Mountain!)… I just can’t get enough! We’ve always traveled to Disneyland on a budget, especially when it comes to souvenirs. I have no doubt that without taming my little …

Sometimes I forget that my daughter is only two years old. She will be 3 in a few weeks, but her entire life, she has been in the 90-something percentile for her height, thus making her look older than she really is. She is a size 9 in her shoes, and will probably grow out …

As you prepare for baby, it feels like there are a million things you’re supposed to get. Not to mention the million things you WANT to get! At the top of the list are cribs; those are pretty important and range greatly in size, color, durability, add-ons, and price. It can get pretty overwhelming so …

Are you one of those lucky moms who had a group of friends who all got pregnant and had kids around the same time? If so, this post is not for you, so you and your little squad can go away now. Seriously?! I was totally kidding. Although I do really envy you and your …
