August 10th is a very special day. Do you know what it is? It’s National S’mores Day! I love food holidays because there are so many options for celebrating. For example, you can go traditional with a basic graham cracker/marshmallow/milk chocolate combo, or you can get…creative. Let’s go! How about some s’mores cupcakes? These look …

Poop or chocolate? My husband is much braver than I am. He will always take a sniff, no matter how gross something looks, in order to discover what a mysterious substance is. And when you start having kids, there WILL be many mysterious substances in the form of wipes, streaks, puddles and smells. If you’ve …

This summer has been busy with family reunions for both my husband and I. Our trip to his reunion in Wyoming was nothing—just a 4-hour drive time that turned into maybe 5 hours, accounting for the times we stopped for the kids. MY family reunion was another story. The drive from our house in Utah …

One thing that D.C. does really well is Fourth of July fireworks. (Duh.) We have great displays in the surrounding area, but the show to go to is the one on the National Mall. No matter where you watch from—what amazing little-known viewing spot you have—you’ve gotta get there early and claim your spot. Bonus: …

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 …

My little family of four recently went to the Salt Lake City Hogle Zoo and it was incredibly fun to see my toddler react to all the animals she has been learning about. Although I tried to prepare for the day, there were a lot of things I didn’t think about until we were already …

When my daughter started preschool, I was both intimidated by my first school shopping experience and very excited because I love office supplies the way some people love shoes. I totally marked myself as a first-time parent when, during the classroom orientation, I asked the teacher where I could find the supply list so I …

I came of age in the 1990s, during an explosion in pop culture’s focus on Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling. Since then, the idea of throwing away a soda can or a piece of paper is appalling. I mean, who doesn’t provide a mixed-stream recycling bin anymore?! (Of course, this explosion coincided with the rise 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 …

Have you been looking for a perfect place for your next family vacation, multi-generational getaway or couples weekend? Consider vacationing in North Myrtle Beach. I had the opportunity recently to visit North Myrtle Beach, and not only experience the beautiful beach, but to go beyond and see what else there is to do for families. …

We don’t always have lots of time in the morning to make a complete breakfast but these recipes are healthy, delicious, and easy ideas that you can grab and eat on the go! Egg Muffins. I make these for my husband every week. They are filled with cheese and all his favorite veggies. They only come …

Have you made Grilled Cheese Sticks and Tomato Soup Shooters for your kids? It’s taken me a few years to get it, but I’ve learned that presentation is everything when serving my children a new food. If it looks fun and appetizing, they’re ten times more likely to give it a go. If it looks …
