Here to Make Mom Life Easier and Family Time Meaningful!
Are you praying for the Earth? With Earth Day only a few days away I have been asking myself this very question. Most years, I would be thinking of Earth Day in a slightly different light. Like, how could I teach my children about recycling, planting a garden, etc. This year (2020) is not most…
Let it sink in, Mama: it’s the year 2020! It sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, but instead of a flying car and a robot that makes you look fabulous every morning in less time than it takes to wash your hands, like you may have hoped for, you find yourself in…
Here in the USA, baseball and apple pie scream iconic summer! Don’t worry, though; you don’t have to be from the US -or even play baseball- to enjoy the fun ideas in this post! These are sure to help you stop the “summer slide” for your kiddos, refresh your taste buds, and provide some indoor…
I love a good fruit salad, and this fun version for the 4th of July is so yummy; could just eat the whole bowl! Did I mention that it can easily be made in about 5 minutes? This makes it the perfect take-along to your next BBQ! I can’t take all the credit for this…
These father-approved desserts are the perfect way to treat your dad for father’s day! How do I know they’re father-approved? Well, they just happen to be my husband’s favorite desserts, so they are my go-to dessert recipes for Father’s day! The best part -aside from the fact that they’re delicious, of course- is that they…
Do you find that you’re compelled to pray for your children a lot? I know I am always praying for my kids’ safety and well-being, among other “parent worries.” After attending a lovely baby shower for a friend recently, I realized I have been lacking in the focused prayer department… As is often done at…
I have been craving Raspberry Mocha Frappes a lot with this pregnancy (don’t worry; I go for the decaf), as well as some divine treats called Yoguccinos from a local coffee shop! As much as we pregnant ladies would like to eat for two, we really aren’t, so I try to limit my high-calorie drink…
Did I have you at Triple Chocolate Cookies? Whenever I dine out, the dessert menu always has me at chocolate. I know there are people out there who don’t like chocolate; I just don’t understand them (And if you are one of them, we will just have to agree to disagree about chocolate being the…
Let’s face it: we each want to get our Mom the perfect gift for Mother’s Day! Since becoming a mom, I have never really understood the media’s take on what we want for Mother’s Day! Sure, heart-shaped necklaces are beautiful and perfume can be nice, but it might just be time for something new! Here…
This Avocado Chicken Salad has become a standby for me in recent months! I eat it over lettuce salad, toast, corn chips, and -when I’m really feeling decedent- on buttery croissants! You might be wondering, “Why does she eat it so often?” Well, for one, it’s really tasty and easy to make, and for two, it’s…
This Saint Patrick’s Day craft for little ones takes only a little bit of prep, but it turns out so fun and full of color that I am super-excited to share it with you! Sometimes I feel like it can be hard to find crafts that really work well for little hands like this one…
Are you feeling like you’re running out of indoor activities to do with your kids, and are now just trying to survive indoors this LONG winter? I know I am, and for a lot of us in the USA, it’s been a cold winter, and there are still a couple months of it left (in…
A while back, I posted a picture on Instagram of some sandwich art I came up with for my son’s lunch. I got lots of positive feedback, so today, I’m going to show you exactly how I made them (and you won’t believe how easy it really is)! My little guy loves finding fun sandwiches…
We love pesto in our home, and this healthy chicken pesto has quickly become one of our favorites! Honestly, I was a bit worried my husband wouldn’t be a fan of my newest mealtime concoction! He doesn’t care much for cauliflower, and I was a tad afraid I would ruin his love of pesto! To…
It’s a new year, and I choose joy! Notice I said that’s what I choose, not necessarily that joy is what I feel from moment to moment. See if you can relate to me on this: it has been a super-fun last few weeks, dotted with holiday celebrations, some reflection on what made the year great,…
