You want to go for a bike ride, but many little ones, regardless of whether they can ride a bike or not, may not be able to go the distance. That’s why bike trailers are so popular. And luckily, most bike trailers can seat up to two children in one trailer. But there are many … Read more
Recently, I was offered a chance to try the Amrapur Melrose 8-Piece Microfiber Comforter Set from Latest Bedding. I may or may not have waited by my window daily, watching for that big beautiful box to arrive. Ok, ok, I did. I was pretty excited to receive my comforter set and I was not disappointed when I … Read more
My 7-year-old daughter, Taybree, stayed home sick from school a few days ago. It was one of those times where she was sick enough to not be able to attend, but yet still feeling good enough that after a few hours she got incredibly bored just laying around the house. She watched some movies, napped, … Read more
I really thought it couldn’t get any cuter than the Pot O’ Gold Brownie Cups or the St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Snack Cups we recently posted about. I was wrong. These Pot O’ Gold Rainbows Cookies rank right up there with the rest! They are so creative and fun! And here’s the best part: they … Read more
Do you remember when you first learned about leprechauns or pots of gold at the end of a rainbow? I was thinking about it just the other day. I can’t recall when I was first told about them, it seems like it was something I always knew. Every time I saw a rainbow as a … Read more
Once upon a time Steph and I used to live mere houses away from each other. She was right up the street from me! (Boy does that seem like a lifetime ago.) We really enjoyed getting together for so many different things. And it was so easy to do! Some days we were pretty lazy … Read more
You’ve seen the commercials and watched all the uber-happy parents at the dining room table with their picture-perfect kids: family game night is a must! It really can be as joyous an occasion as those cheesy ads make them seem. But what games are best to play with your kids? That’s a tough question. We … Read more
You guys. I’ve been trying to write this post for a good 20 minutes and it’s been so hard. Because I have no words. These St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Snack Cups are THE CUTEST! I am telling you they are seriously one of my most favorite St. Patrick’s Day holiday crafts ever. Don’t you just … Read more
I love baking! I think I always have. My mom is a FACS teacher (formerly known as Home Ec.) and I grew up with her teaching me all of the tips and tricks she knew. Thinking back now I love how easy and natural it was working side by side with her to make delicious … Read more
I want to say that I’m really glad that January’s over, but really it still feels like January to me. My entire family has been sick for the past three weeks or more. It’s been miserable. What a month. One person catches it, then takes forever to even start turning a corner, and then another … Read more
Don’t look now, but Valentine’s Day is coming up. Last year, after the kids’ cute little cartoon cards were written and you picked up some holiday treats for the office, you forgot to remind mom that you “heart” her too! Now, we know that you really don’t want to make that same mistake again this year, … Read more
Steph and I were just talking today about how when we were younger we each had, at one point or another, a few different inanimate objects that we turned into special little loves that we would take care of. For example, one thing she got in 2nd grade was a gift from a friend. It was … Read more
When I was growing up I loved the nights my parents would pull out the air popper and we’d make a ginormous bowl of popcorn. I can still hear the whir of the popcorn machine and the sound of the popcorn kernels dropping in. For some reason, it was such a treat to be the … Read more
As I’ve grown (and hopefully matured) I’ve noticed that there have been times when people have entered my life at exactly the perfect time to bless me in some way. Usually, before I even knew I needed them. One example was my freshman year of high school. Just a month before the start of the … Read more
When you think back to when you were younger, what were some of your favorite Valentine’s Day gifts? I’m not going to lie, even in elementary school, right at the top of my list was always chocolate. Conversation hearts were always fun, although not the yummiest if I’m being honest. Sometimes kids in my school would … Read more
