While going out to a restaurant with your spouse or signifiant other is great, sometimes it is just better to stay in. Especially on busy nights like Valentine's Day, (or Friday...) it just becomes more of a hassle to fight the crowds, talk over the noise, and spend time with each other. It's nice just to stay in and enjoy a meal, just the two of us. Sure there is cooking involved, but cooking is a labor of love for View Post
September is here and that means two HUGE things for our family. 1. pumpkin everything and 2. lots of birthdays, holidays, and visits from guests are on their way. We have three boys and all of them have a fall birthday. All three boys are in sports and having recently moved further away from family, I anticipate more overnight stays, if we are lucky, from family members and friends. Both of these things are exciting to me because I LOVE the View Post
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Blue Plate Mayonnaise. All opinions are 100% mine. Deviled eggs are a staple at potlucks and bbqs, but they are a welcomed addition to any party, meal, or celebration. These Chicken Salad Deviled Eggs take the traditional deviled eggs up a notch and turn it into a delicious side item OR meal! I love seeing chicken salad sandwiches on a menu when we go to delis and hometown View Post
School has started and so far, it is off to a great start! I made sure to make a run to the grocery store to stock up on lots of essentials that make school so much easier. I found a few new lunchbox containers that make transporting the boys' favorite foods super simple, too! This little blue cup with lid and spoon is perfect for a serving of Ham Bowtie Pasta for their lunchboxes! View Post
All over the country, kids and adults have started back to school. I remember when I started college, the size of my smallish university campus was SO huge compared to my tiny Texas town high school. All the walking! In the August heat! I had to learn to plan ahead, measure the distance to walk to classes, and remember to take some water. I went to a small university, but I know there are huge colleges and universities that are just too View Post
Have you ever wondered how to make fabric pumpkins? I have seen many different ones in the stores, and I wanted to try to make my own. The boys were really interested in this craft, and they were able to help with most everything. Obviously the sharp knife cutting should be left to adults or older children, but everything else is totally doable for little ones. There is NOTHING in the world I love more than pumpkin decor. (ok, maybe View Post
Everyone who knows me, knows by now that I love my air fryer and I love making new air fryer recipes! I made these air fryer breakfast pockets awhile back and they were a huge hit, both with my family and the online community! I wanted to use Once Again Amoré chocolate and almond spread to make a delicious recipe that would be great for breakfast, snack, or dessert, and I made it SUPER easy so if you have these two ingredients and an air fryer, View Post
The boys are back in school now and wow, that is such a huge change from the 24/7 family time we had. It was nice, don't get me wrong, I loved being with them and having them with me, BUT, the constant need for them to be engaged in an activity OR constant bickering was not cool. Most days were great and they are at an age where they can entertain themselves, but I had to be proactive at what, exactly, they were using for entertainment. No one View Post
Our oldest started playing soccer a few months shy of turning 4. His dad was the coach and it was our first experience at any kind to play sports with a team for our kids. It was challenging for us because we also had a 1 1/2 year old who really did not want to be there and my husband soon realized that 3 and 4 year olds were a bit hard to work with, at times. It was a great learning experience for everyone and our son fell in love with soccer View Post
