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 […]
31 Non Sandwich School Lunch Ideas
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 […]
Printable lunch notes to brighten anyone’s day
I can’t believe we’re already here. I’m pretty sure every parent is saying this, or something similar to this, this week. But it feels like we just started summer and now school’s starting again.

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 […]
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.
