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 […]
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 Snow Candy
So it’s been snowing here. From what I hear on the news, it’s snowing everywhere — even Florida, maybe? No? I thought I heard that somewhere. But here in Colorado, it most definitely has been.

7 Fun Brazilian Foods to Try With Your Kids
I’ve been craving Brazilian food lately. This is odd, because we don’t really cook it here. But after the Olympics, I had friends who stayed in Brazil and took lots of pictures of their food, which made me jealous. Around the same time, I met a group of bloggers at Five on Black, and that […]
11 Things to Do Over Spring Break
This post contains affiliate links to stuff we love! I always start out spring break strong. We get up, we usually go somewhere fun the first day or two…and by the end of the week, we’re hanging out in our pjs until 10am and watching more TV than I like to admit. So I made […]
Banana Chai Smoothie
How to esplain the banana chai smoothie? I’m a smoothie girl, but in general I’m a 3-ingredient fruity, yogurty, juicy kind of smoothie girl (unless, of course, you can put some chocolate in it. Then I’m that kind of smoothie girl.) But I’m not a complicated, spice-putting kind of smoothie girl. Until now, I mean. Until. Now. […]
11 Delicious Fun Fondue Recipes
We’re fondue fanatics. I think I may have created a monster when I casually mentioned to my husband that we should get a fondue set, because he loves all things vintage. Now, a few years later, we have at least six vintage fondue sets in an array of ugly ’70’s colors. Yeay. Someone call the […]
Easy Overnight Oats
We started back to school this week. And my husband works at 3am. And while these two facts may seem unrelated — they both point to a need for some easy, quick, healthy breakfasts around here.
Peach Strawberry Ice Cream
When we were on vacation about a month ago, we made this peach strawberry ice cream…and it was gooooood, if I do say so myself. I’m over on 123 Homeschool 4 Me sharing the entire recipe — come check it out. It’s some good stuff (and a little healthier for you than your average ice cream, […]
How to Help Your Picky Eater
Hello, everyone! We’re currently on vacation, hanging out at beautiful Lake Tahoe and getting ready for a wedding in the family (again. My kids are pros at this now. They could flower-girl and ring-bear for a living. But we love it every time, and at least one of my girls is delighted that each occasion requires […]
