This post has been sponsored by Tom Thumb. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Shopping with three inquisitive boys who can help me look for products is pretty fun. THEY are fun to be with. And I just discovered the SHOP, PLAY, WIN!® Collect & Win Game featuring MONOPOLY at Tom Thumb, and this has brought a new level of fun to our family shopping trips. I play the MONOPOLY Collect & Win game at my local Tom View Post
With a house full of males, you can bet that our family will be in front of the TV this coming Sunday, watching the big game! It is always a great night filled with football, fun, and lots of yummy food! Figuring out what to feed the family and any visitors we may have is always tricky, and I have gotten stressed about it in the past. If you can relate, read on! The best football game food is easy and delicious. You can impress View Post
Ben and I are doing Whole 30 and let me just say...I'm so thankful for my Air Fryer and Instant Pot, more than I ever have been. It may seem obvious, but cooking real food can be super time consuming! I love using the Air Fryer for roasted potatoes and bacon, topped with spinach and tomatoes or fresh salsa. SO GOOD! So what are some other good Whole 30 Air Fryer recipes? I have made a go to source to help you out in your Whole 30 View Post
In the spirit of a brand new year, I know many of us are cleaning out closets and organizing our homes. That is what I have been doing! We exchanged quite a few gifts that involved some sort of installation or setup and it honestly takes a while to knock it all out so you can start enjoying the products. Do you still have boxed up gifts from the holidays that you are putting off installing because of the difficulty View Post
So the time has come and you are asked to bring Valentine's Day cupcakes to your child's class party or event. Maybe you tried to sign up for plates and napkins, but you were too late. (ha!) So what do you do when you want a cute, easy cupcake recipe for Valentine's Day? This is it! View Post
Thank you Allstate for sponsoring this post. I chose to write this post because doing good in local communities is at Allstate’s core. Our boys are ages 5, 8, and 10 and while some days they frustrate me, most days they make me proud. I am constantly amazed at what they are thinking and doing at their ages. When I heard that one of my kids stood up to others bullying a friend at lunch? Amazed. Would I have done that at his age? Most likely View Post
This post has been sponsored by Del Monte®. All thoughts and opinions are my own. January means a lot of things for different people; but for our family, it means basketball! All three of our boys are playing basketball this season. Ben and I are assistant coaches, so it is getting BUSY! View Post
The nights are becoming cooler and that means it's soup season! I have made a collection of hearty and filling soups, chowders, and stews made with real food! No condensed soups, processed foods (that you can't omit or substitute,) just real, delicious food ingredients. If you stumble upon a recipe made with canned condensed soup, there is always a way to make it homemade. Try this recipe for homemade cream of mushroom View Post
There is something about a cup of hot chocolate that makes winter and Christmas THAT much better, don't you think? Especially when it is cold outside (which often it isn't in Texas,) a cup of homemade hot cocoa is just comforting. Our two youngest boys really love hot chocolate, so I have made quite a few recipes over the years. I even love to make Spicy Hot Cocoa for those who love a spicy kick or when I have a cough or sore View Post
