I love starting a new knitting project. I love that “Aha!” moment when you start to see a pattern emerge on a blanket or a scarf. I love that same moment when a sweater starts to take shape. I love when I try a new stitch or embellishment, and after several tries and some muttered […]
Delicious Chicken Taco Bowls For Your Family
When my kids refuse to eat something, I’ve found it’s for one of two reasons. One is because it really, truly tastes horrible and disgusting to them. Then we do things like trying it different ways, or trying it several times over a long period to see if they’ll eat it. Sometimes this works, sometimes […]
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 […]
Try this peach lemonade recipe for a refreshing twist
It’s been warm here. Ok. Hot. It’s been hot here. At least…hot by Colorado standards. Anytime it gets above 85° here, my children start wailing about how they’re melting. I shudder to imagine them transplanted somewhere like Nevada…they’d think they were dying. 🙄 So along with playing in the hose and finding splash parks and fielding […]
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 […]
Delicious Orange Chicken Spring Rolls Are a Fun Snack to Make With Kids
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tai Pei Food. All opinions are my own and are truthful. I have a hard time planning meals and snacks during the summer. It seems like the opposite should be true. During the school year, we’re running every which way – to scouts and sports […]
How To Make Corn Broth
Oooooh, I do love corn season. I am a cheap grocery shopper in general, but I’d mortgage my house to buy the first batch of corn each summer. This was one of the things I took for granted in California. We didn’t know we were spoiled with our produce until we came to Colorado where my […]
How to make creative and easy vegetable stamps
Do you remember making vegetable stamps as a kid? I remember doing it once or twice with potatoes, and I thought my kids would have a good time with them, too. They’re surprisingly easy to make…and the kids loved investigating all the vegetables we used. Any sturdy root vegetable will do — potatoes or beets […]
