Does anything scream “SUMMER!” more than kabobs?  Ya know, meat on a stick? I am on a total kabob recipe kick so far this season. They’re so easy and quick to put together, they look impressive, and they don’t require me heating up my house by turning the stove / oven on. My biggest tip …

Feeding your newborn is something you will do within the first hour (or even less) after giving birth, so breastfeeding is a topic most moms-to-be will research before the big day. But no surprise, breastfeeding is a big and often difficult task to master. So in preparation, here are 10 breastfeeding tips I’ve found useful …

Up until about six months ago, my daughter refused to eat chicken nuggets. She still only nibbles at French fries. She doesn’t do any breaded meat (aside from the above-noted nuggets) and won’t touch anything made of white potatoes. She also won’t eat burgers. And don’t even try to pass off buttered noodles as a …

Why should Mother’s Day be celebrated? Well, take a moment to think of a mother in your life. It can be your own mom, a good friend who was like a mother to you, or maybe think of yourself. What characteristics does this mother possess? The majority of us think something along the lines of: …

My daughter attends a cooperative preschool where one of the co-oping parent’s jobs is to provide the class’s daily snack. At our two-year-old classroom orientation, the teacher mentioned a time when a family brought sardines (maybe anchovies? some kind of gross fish) when the class was doing their penguin unit. She was using it to …

Perhaps you’re a parent to a baby, or are expecting a baby soon. Perhaps baby sleep is a major priority to you. Perhaps you’ve heard of the Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit. In short, the Magic Merlin Suit is to be used as a transition out of the swaddle. It is essentially a padded suit that …

Just between us, I hate nature. Humidity, dirt, sand, bugs, itchy grass, heat, mud, snow, cold, rain, animals, bodies of water that smell like fish, the funk that washes up on the beach. Ugh. I’m an indoor kind of girl. But like many of my other, um, “less-than-charming” attributes, my dislike of the great outdoors …

I lay no claim to being an art expert, but trust me when I say that you simply must visit the Renwick Gallery to experience the amazing WONDER exhibit. I first saw a photo of one of the installations on a local blog I follow and I immediately made a mental note to take my …

As parents, we have the most demanding job around. There are no sick days, no vacation days, no paid time off. When you’re feeling under the weather, you learn pretty quickly that complaining doesn’t help anything because that infant still needs to be fed and you’ve got the only milk jugs around. So despite a …

I love making these Cheesy Chicken Roll Ups when entertaining guests because they can be quickly prepped the night before and thrown into the oven 30 minutes before the guests arrive. This gives me time to tidy up and relax the day of the party so I can enjoy my time with my guests even …
