I’ve been hearing from lots of friends who have visited with their children over the past year, and for the anniversary, my kids and I were invited down to celebrate the day. They had a wonderful time! I didn’t realize that […]

7 Less Annoying Alternatives to Fidget Spinners

I’m not against fidget spinners. My kids have them. I think they’ve been hugely helpful, especially for one of my children who has trouble focusing and sitting still at school. We love them.

How to Impress People With Your Mad Mimosa Making Skills

I’ve mentioned before that we like making special drinks around here. Warm cider and cocoa, sparkly non alcoholic mimosas for kids and cocktails for the adults — we love them all. So. The non alcoholic mimosa recipe has been one of my most popular posts for a few years now…but I realized I’ve never actually done a […]

Raising Charitable Kids

Raising Charitable Kids

I feel weird writing this post, because I don’t want anyone thinking I’m holding up my kids as a perfect example of giving, selfless children. They’re normal kids — they don’t always share their toys, and they ask for too many treats they don’t need and they waste food when I’m not looking. But I am trying to […]

Snacks for Teens

August 4, 2015 By Laura 67 Comments

I’m the proud parent of a bottomless pit. It hit me during this last school year that I needed to step up my snacking game. My son was coming home from school and was no longer satisfied with a small snack. He wanted the equivalent of an entire 3pm meal. He’d start with a handful […]

Shamrock Hair Clips — 3 Ways

St. Patrick’s Day always sneaks up on me. We do a few fun things around here (corned beef and cabbage! Weird leprechaun pranks!), but it’s a pretty laid back holiday and not one we spend days preparing for or anything. So there have been times when, at 8pm March 16, I’ve realized that one of […]
