Welcome fall with pumpkin spice French toast

I was compensated by Bays English Muffins for this post. All opinions are mine alone. I feel like our weekend family breakfasts are even more special in the Fall. This is a busy season for us. It seems like after the lull of summer, school starts off with a bang…and so do all the after-school […]

I know from experience that this […]

How we get outdoors and enjoy fall in Colorado

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. I love getting outdoors this time of year! The leaves are starting to turn, and the air is crisp and a little chilly. The kids are in school all week, so when we can go for a hike […]

5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Having a New Baby

After bringing home four new little babies, I think I finally know what I’m doing. Actually, we were pretty good after Baby #2. That’s always the way it works, isn’t it? For the first baby, you have everything ready to go three months before your due date. You have the car seat professionally installed (we took […]

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 […]

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 […]

Delicious Cranberry Chocolate Protein Bites

I’ve been baking cookies since I was at least ten years old. I might have been even younger, but by the time I was ten, I was baking them on my own — nice, warm cookies for winter. Nice, warm cookies in the middle of summer. I love to bake, and I’ll do it anytime […]

5 Ways to Improve Your Air Quality Right Now

This post was sponsored by Moms Clean Air Force.  All opinions are my own.  When my daughter was little, she had breathing troubles. We had a standing weekly appointment with her pediatrician.

10 Unique Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Tweens, Teens, and Adults

I think I have everyone’s Christmas presents figured out…but stocking stuffers can be a challenge!

Stocking stuffers have to be interesting, but not the focal point of all the Christmas presents. […]
