St. Patrick's Day is on the way! For some reason, St. Patrick's Day was always one of my favorite holidays. Maybe it's because I am a redhead and I think I'm from Ireland. Maybe it's because of the adorable St. Patrick's Day Crafts for Kids! I remember always having to wear green to school so no one would pinch me and well, that's pretty much the extent of our childhood celebration of this holiday. But with the fun View Post
Spring Break is next week for my kids, and I am on the lookout for fun things to do, as well as fun crafts to make! The boys love making crafts, they just need a little inspiration. This Flower Pom Pom Wreath DIY Craft is fairly inexpensive, fun to make, and makes a great Mother's Day gift, too! View Post
Seafood is a delicious way to get lots of vitamins and nutrients. There is so much versatility in seafood. Whether you are looking for impressive seafood recipes, healthy seafood recipes, or a few good seafood recipes for the family during Lent, this is the place to find them! In our house, seafood is popular. My husband and oldest son love shrimp, I love a good grilled salmon, and everyone loves tuna. There are so many more ways to cook View Post
Even though winter is on its way out, (hopefully!) our favorites are soups and hearty stews for dinner. They are easy, filling, and delicious, perfect for busy nights. My favorites are those that are easily made in the Crock Pot, so I can set it and forget it until dinner time! Plus, the delicious smells that fill the house are incredible! I made this amazing Crock Pot Chicken Verde with Potatoes the other day and it was so good! View Post
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 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
