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,…
I’m not gonna lie, I was super-excited this summer when I came up with this fun baby Jesus craft for my children’s Christmas in July party! It’s such a cute craft, and it serves as a sweet reminder of just how very much Jesus loves them! With “real Christmas” coming fast, it seems the perfect…
My favorite Christmas memories revolve around family traditions from my childhood, and it brings me so much joy to watch my own children make sweet memories with the same traditions!

I am totally letting you in on one of my most treasured baking tips with this super easy-to-make chocolate sauce! I get lots of compliments on it, and friends often ask how I get it so smooth without burning the chocolate! Burnt chocolate might just be one of the most disappointing things ever, so you…
“I am thankful for my family; I am thankful for my children (although they’re little turkeys); I am thankful!” Do you ever have moments like this, where you have to say it until you believe it? When I sat down to write this post, my daughter was watching a show, and my son was coloring…
Quick like a ninja, you can save the day by making these Ninja Turtle cupcakes, no matter your skill level in the kitchen! This may sound like a lofty claim, but since these cupcakes use store-bought icing and candy eyes, they were easy to make and perfect for my little ninja’s last birthday party, and…
Do you tackle DIY costumes for your kids each year? With Halloween coming up next month, the kids and I have been talking a lot about what they want their costumes to be! For us, the most exciting part of Halloween is that it also happens to be my son’s birthday! Unsurprisingly, then, picking a…
Hello, friends! This week, I am excited to share a sweet post by Melody Gienger from Mommy Unvarnished!

My husband loves cookie dough; if it were up to him, every Blizzard flavor at DQ would automatically include cookie dough bites! Some may scream for ice cream, but he screams for cookie dough (maybe with a side of ice cream)! You get the picture: he really likes it, which is why the kids and…
