I don’t want to brag or anything, but we’re about a week or so away from this: I love this time of year. I never get tired of watching the leaves turn all these different colors. And the aspens! They’re my favorite. This time of year is also so much fun with kids. We read […]
6 Steps to End Homework Battles
This is going to come as a shock to you, but sometimes? I fight have spirited discussions with my kids. Mostly about things they don’t wanna do…that I want them to do. For a long time, we’d have these “discussions” about homework, until it hit a fever pitch a few years ago. One of my children […]
A Fun Way to Display Kids Artwork
So with school starting up again, we’re faced with the never-ending dilemma. What on earth do we do with all the projects and papers they bring home? How do you decide which of your kids’ projects to keep? I tend to favor the ones where I can see my kids’ creativity. Some projects come home […]
12 Fall Books for Kids
Fall might be my favorite season for kids’ books. There’s so much to read about! There are animals getting ready to hibernate. There are different colored leaves to investigate and learn about. There are apples and pumpkins. There are holidays (and reading about holidays with kids is just about the best thing ever). Now that […]
31 Non Sandwich School Lunch Ideas
Are your kids back to school yet? We just finished our first day. I always have mixed emotions – the freedom of summer is wonderful and we love getting out and exploring. But in reality, we don’t do that every day…and the days we don’t often have plenty of bickering and too much screen time […]

My kids actually go back next week, and we have done zero back to school shopping because I’m deep, deep in […]
What’s in your child’s school lunch? Here’s how to find out
This post was sponsored by The School Nutrition Association. All opinions are my own. Do you remember your school lunches as a child? I didn’t get them often, so it was kind of a big deal when I got to stand in the lunch line and eat with the cool lunch kids. I got chocolate […]
7 classic kids books no one reads anymore (but they should!)
Are you doing a summer reading program with your kids? I really love our library reading program, because even babies can participate (parents track the minutes they read out loud), and adults can as well. I always sign up along with the kids because I feel like I can’t nag them to read unless I’m […]
Staying Clean and Organized When Camping
This post was sponsored by Mean Green. All opinions are my own. I had the opportunity to take five junior high Girl Scouts camping last weekend. I love camping with the girls. And yes, I mean camping camping. Not staying in a cabin. Not using an RV. Putting up a tent in the rain and standing around […]
Make your own bath paints for hours of fun
My kids love playing with bath paints. They’ll sit in the tubby as long as I let them and paint all over the walls and the bathtub and have a great time. But the paints run out quickly, and they’re kinda pricey…so now we make our own. The paints only take 4 ingredients (and one is […]
