Something I'm always on the lookout for are healthy new snack ideas that I can whip up in a snap. My kids (and I've heard they're not alone in this) are very cyclical when it comes to food. They'll absolutely love something - it's all carrots and hummus, all the time - and then, BAM!, they're over it. Couldn't entice them to eat another carrot stick or a dollop of hummus for anything. Which is why I often find that one day I'll be humming along, feeling good about the things I'm feeding them, … [Read more...]
Every Child Deserves a Childhood
Ever since becoming a mother, I've spent a lot of time thinking about my blessings. I am so humbled to be called "Mom" by happy, curious, loving and healthy kiddos (aged 6, 4 and just barely 1). I often wonder how did I get so lucky? Lucky in more ways than I can even count. Lucky that they are healthy. Lucky that I don't have to worry about how to feed them or how to afford gifts on their birthday. Lucky that I have this incredible job that helps me provide for them while allowing me … [Read more...]
Mother’s Day Idea: Tulips Grown in Vases
I'm sure it hasn't escaped your attention that Mother's Day is just around the bend. Whether you're planning to spend it being pampered or going on family adventures, you're likely in need of a good gift or two for your own Mother and Mother-in-Law. (Not to mention any other special Moms that may be in your life.) This year there are two ideas I'm totally excited about. The first is the above vase of tulips. What makes this particular arrangement so special, aside from how stunning the … [Read more...]
Free eBook: Healthy Dressings & Marinade Recipes
I have been in the biggest lunch rut lately and I think a big part of it has been not being able to figure out a healthy, but still tasty, way to dress my salads. Then a few days ago, out of the blue and like a message from above, my favorite nutritionist Katie emailed me to say that her nutrition site, Prescribe Nutrition, had just put out a FREE ebook full of clean eating recipes for marinades and dressings. Whoo hoo! I've been chowing down on the 2-minute jar vinaigrette ever since - … [Read more...]
Kitchen Science: Easter Candy Experiments
Every year I get a little blindsided by Easter. Halloween I totally equate with lots of candy and general sugar overload, for sure. But when it comes to Easter, I think of dying boiled eggs and a big fancy brunch. What I always fail to remember, until it's upon me, are the mass amounts of chocolate my littles collect over the holiday, mainly at the neighborhood Easter egg hunt. Fortunately, my 6 and 4 year olds are slightly obsessed with experiments of all varieties right now and, it turns … [Read more...]
Easy Braiding for Moms: The Crown Braid

This is a great beginner braid for all of us moms who want to meet our daughters' desire for beautiful braids but aren't quite sure how - … [Read more...]
15 Three-Ingredient Easter Treats
As evidenced by my post, Easter Dishes You Can Make With Your Slow Cooker, I like to keep it simple whenever I can and Easter is no exception. We're attending a neighborhood potluck/egg hunt again this year and I've been on the lookout for an easy treat to contribute. That hunt led me to create 3 Ingredient Easter Bark (#1 on the list) and to unearth 14 other ingenious Easter treats that only take three ingredients to whip up. Can you guess which one has candy corn as one of the … [Read more...]
Make It: No-Sew Reusable Sandwich Holder
Lately our little family has been having what I like to call "a bit of a time". I mentioned last week that I went to visit my parents with the baby for my great aunt's funeral. That had already thrown our week a bit of course and then, the day after we came back, my sweet 4 year old was diagnosed with walking pneumonia. Then, I suppose because things happen in threes, right?, the disc slipped in my back again and I now find myself unable to walk or stand up straight (let alone pick up the … [Read more...]
Super Simple Art: Stained Glass Paintings
My great aunt passed away at the age of 101 (she almost made it to 102) last week and baby M and I made a quick over-and-back trip for the funeral yesterday. It was actually a really nice trip but it meant that things have been pretty quite around here. … [Read more...]
