Tyler, TX blogger - parenting, cooking, DIY-ing, crafting, sports, and life with three boys!
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
Wireless audio systems are all the rage in home entertainment. If you have wondered how the sound compares between a wireless system and a traditional wired system, you would be right in asking questions. Oftentimes, the wireless systems mean lower quality and breaks in the sound. The Bowers & Wilkins Formation® Suite is the first wireless audio system that provides a clear, crisp sound and features that live up to the Bowers & View Post

Being a stay at home mom is great, it really is. I am so thankful that I am able to make an income and not leave the house. It saves on childcare, commuting expenses, and more. There are, of course, down sides to working from home, as well, but for the most part, I really enjoy it. This summer has been trying at times, with moving and the kids being out of school. It is hard to sit down for any length of time, especially to sit down View Post
Spiced Apple Iced Tea was brought to you by Torani. All opinions are mine. #AToraniMorningIt is AUGUST and to me, that means all things FALL are on their way! School, apples, pumpkins, cooler weather, and for our family, fall soccer and flag football. We are in Texas, though, so while I want to be enjoying all of the delicious Fall flavors, they usually have to be in iced form until the end of October! I love iced tea, so I made this View Post
Our youngest is just about to start kindergarten. In some ways, it came way too quickly and in some ways, it feels like he should have been in kindergarten already. He is excited about joining his older brothers at a brand new to us school, but he, of course, has a lot of anxiety about school. While I am a firm believer in letting them lead the way in the preschool years when it comes to knowledge and "school stuff," I have found View Post
Spring and Summer is always exciting for me, simply because of all the fruits that are in the grocery store! I love fruit and luckily my family does, too, but we usually stick with the same kind. Of course, watermelon is the kids' favorite, but also fresh peaches, berries, and grapes are regulars at our house. I love trying different varieties of fruits, as well. We discovered a few years ago that we love Cara Cara oranges, as well as View Post
