Tyler, TX blogger - parenting, cooking, DIY-ing, crafting, sports, and life with three boys!
As you may have guessed, I use my air fryer often. A few times a week. Sometimes daily. Sometimes multiple times a day. Then we got a range with an air fryer component and that was so awesome. I love to cook meals for the whole family in it! Then, for Christmas, our 9 year old wanted to spend his money to purchase a new, larger air fryer for the counter because he knew my old countertop air fryer had seen better days. He is a super saver and I was so touched that he wanted to buy me View Post

I love that the cactus trend is still on the rise! I see cute cactus prints on pillows, backpacks, shirts, coffee mugs, and they are all so beautiful! Cacti come in many different sizes, shapes, colors even, and I am tempted each and every time I see a baby cactus at Lowe's to pick it up and take it home with me! Simply put, cacti rock, but sometimes it's easier to care for a cute cactus craft rather than a real cactus. Take a look at this fun View Post
Hubby and I are on our second round of Whole30 (day 16 to be exact!) and I have been craving meatballs and rice! Luckily, meatballs are Whole30 approved and rice, well, some genius someone invited cauliflower rice and other riced veggies and it is the perfect, healthy go to when you are craving rice!! So, today I made this yummy recipe for Whole30 Meatballs and Gravy over Riced Veggies!I love cauliflower rice, but I recently found a View Post
Do you remember how fun it was to make and play with paper crafts as a kid? I do! My friends and I would make cootie catchers, or fortune tellers, as they are often called, and probably get on our teacher's nerves with how much we used them! They were definitely the "fidget toy" of the 90's for me! If you cannot remember how to make a cootie catcher, here's a simple how to, along with a video and all that you will need to complete this craft! It View Post
My boys always think they love Pop Tarts, but unless they are the frosted strawberry, full of sugar and whatever else, they don't eat them. And they even leave the "crusts" off of the original Pop Tarts, so that left me wondering "what's the point?" I refuse to buy them! However, they have recently discovered that they love Nutella (I'm a peanut butter lover, personally, so I don't really care for Nutella.) I made these "homemade" air fryer View Post

This cereal post is sponsored by General Mills. All thoughts and opinions are my own.There is something about going back to school after a long holiday break. When I was a teacher, I was excited at the new beginnings and a clean slate and all the wonderful new things I would teach my class. As a kid, I was excited about going back to see my friends and talk about all the cool things I got for Christmas. My kids, however, seem to need View Post
We have been honored to visit Medieval Times in Dallas, Texas a few times for Ginger Casa. We went again earlier this week, as a celebration and last hurrah before the busy back to school and work life began after the holidays. It has become a great way to celebrate victories we share at home. This 2 hour experience is a unique, family-friendly experience, for all ages and genders. They have great food, music, drama, and View Post
It wasn't until I had kids in elementary school that I learned bout the Valentine Box. When I was growing up, we would make these huge paper pouches and decorate them with markers and tape them to our desks for our friends to drop their valentines in for our Valentine's Day parties. But now, many teachers are making a big home project for this. I have even heard of teachers giving grades for these homemade boxes! Not that any parent needs another View Post
