How To Quickly Identify Plants And Trees was brought to you by PlantSnap App. All opinions are mine. Having three active kids means lots of outdoor time! We love to ride bikes, go for walks, go camping, go geocaching, have scavenger hunts, and just go to the park and enjoy the outdoors. Our youngest, especially, has always been interested in different plants and of course, sticks, so he is always examining these things. When we go to a new place, I like to be proactive and know what View Post
Roasted Chipotle Steak Tacos and Steak Kabobs has been brought to you by Seeds of Change. All opinions are mine. If there is one thing in this world that my husband loves to eat, it's steak. Likewise, if there is one thing I love to eat the most, it's tacos. I have always tried to make THE perfect steak taco, but usually I fail miserably. We can grill steak and it always tastes good, but there is always something missing, it seems. View Post
contains affiliate links We have Mexican food at least once a week. While I do love making Instant Pot Mexican Rice, I like to change it up a bit sometimes and make a different side dish. Same rice, some of the same ingredients, but SUCH a different flavor! This Cilantro Lime Rice is a great addition to any meal. It goes great alongside tacos, burritos, fajitas, flautas, and more.

Yes, here I am again with a craft using these adorable yogurt jars! They really are the perfect size for so many crafts! The first thought I had when I bought Oui yogurt is that they look like little cauldrons. They come with a foil lid so they're technically not jars, but pots, but they have so many uses! View Post

Add Instant Pot Korean Beef to your menu this week! It takes less than an hour to cook, and you can prepare the View Post
This motivational printables post is sponsored by Mambo Sprouts for its client – GOPO Rosehip with Galactolipids. All opinions are mine. Contains affiliate links As much as I hate to admit it, I have never been big on exercise. I love playing basketball with the boys, going for a bike ride, or just a walk with the little one to the park, but as much as I want to, I just never have enough motivation to start exercising regularly. As I View Post
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Marvel. All opinions are entirely my own. Enjoy these classic recess games! Some of my favorite memories from my childhood include recess and the fun games we played. I remember swinging, riding on the merry-go-round, and flying up and down on the see-saws, but the times that we all were laughing and having fun was when we were playing recess games. Recess time was always a struggle when View Post
contains affiliate links Being a blogger is pretty awesome. I get to try new products that sometimes are not even in the stores yet. I get paid to try these new products and tell everyone about them. Sometimes, these products are not good. If that's the case, I tell the company I cannot proceed. I am never dishonest. But, there are times when a product is sooooo good that it becomes a staple in my house and I end up using all of my View Post
When I think back to my favorite Disney movies of all time, The Lion King always comes to mind. It seems like just yesterday that I saw the tale of Simba the lion cub for the first time, but it was actually released in 1994! Crazy! Our kids love this movie and I am not even sure they would believe me if I told them it came out in 1994. We were sent a free digital code for the celebration of this movie being added to the Walt Disney Signature View Post

How do you get started? What I found out that it is VERY easy and FUN and the best part is....it is a great way View Post
