This may come as a shock, but my kitchen gets pretty messy. All four kids like to cook…and so does my husband…and so, sometimes, do I. The kids are also at a point where they get their own lunches and snacks and other food. So – lots of opportunities for jam and peanut butter and […]
These Luminaria Make Great Halloween Decorations
For a long time, we didn’t really decorate out front for Halloween. By the time I figured out everyone’s costumes, and got all the candy, and helped with school parties — Halloween decorations sort of got lost in the shuffle. But these luminaria are something I can set the kids making, and end up with some […]
Make Apple Cider Martinis For a Delicious Fall Cocktail
We’re a special drink family. Adults…kids…we all love celebrating events with sparkling cider or special drinks. The first snow (which we might actually be ready for…it’s been sweltering here lately) deserves some homemade hot cocoa (maybe even pumpkin spice hot chocolate? Yes. That.) So it’s no surprise that we have our fair share of cocktails and […]
Cooking with Kids – Making Musubi
Although we’re mostly a road-trip family, we took the vacation of a lifetime a few years earlier and went to Hawaii with my family. It was magical. And while my kids came back with a love for palm trees and surfing, they also came back with a new appreciation for musubi. You can pick it […]
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 […]
Make These Autumn Suncatchers With Kids This Fall
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 […]
Delicious Posole Rice Bowls Your Family Will Love
This post was sponsored by The School Nutrition Association. All opinions are my own. About a month ago, I was invited to attend the School Lunch Nutrition Association’s annual conference to learn about what goes into our children’s lunches. It was really an eye-opening experience – I had no idea of the scope of the conference, and […]
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 […]
