This recipe is one that kids can help with, there's no oven time, and you'll be done in about 15 minutes. It's that easy! Not to mention these little 'Easter baskets' are as cute as can be.

Free Printable: Family New Year Resolutions
I love the start of a new year. As much as I adore the holidays, there is something so refreshing about taking down all the decorations, getting back into a normal work and school routine, and thinking about what you want to accomplish in the new year. For my entire childhood, setting goals for the new year was a huge part of our family culture. My dad printed out little spreadsheets for us to fill in with different goals about money, school, health, hobbies, and relationships. We'd … [Read more...]
Christmas and New Year’s Morning Mimosas
One of my favorite New Year's traditions is waking up late and staying in my pajamas. My mother-in-law makes her famous cinnamon rolls. My father-in-law cooks eggs and bacon to order and we all enjoy mimosas while we watch the parade. This year, I'm taking on the mimosas and we're putting a little twist on things. Instead of the typical orange juice, I'm using ruby red grapefruit juice. The color is so pretty and festive. I'm also getting fancy with some sage-infused simple syrup to … [Read more...]

Most Impressive/Easy/Comfy Halloween Costume Ever – Janine from The Handmaid’s Tale
My husband and I are attending our first adult Halloween party since before we had kids this year and I'm so excited! It's been at least a decade since I've thought about a costume for myself, though, and that's kind of a lot of pressure! Especially since Halloween costumes for grown women are notoriously ridiculous; i.e. "sexy _______" is basically our only option. Not only do I refuse to set that kind of example for my kids, I'm also all about being comfortable! Which is why … [Read more...]
7 Ideas From a Teacher On What to Do with The Kids Over Spring Break
The kids are about ready to break free from the monotony of school for a week. This means two things...no packing lunches and we need to keep them busy for the week. It's a blessing and a curse. While I love having my kids home without the schedules we are normally bound to, I also can feel a little stressed out when I start to think of how we will spend the hours. This year, I'm channeling my inner 1st grade teacher and using those years of experience to remember what kids need during … [Read more...]
Hot Find: 18 Ridiculously Cute Easter Pieces for Under $15!
I admit it, I'm not the best when it comes to dressing my kids up. Maybe it's because I had a boy first? Probably, though, it's just me. I never really got it together enough to color coordinate. Also, my kids get dirty a lot and I just don't want to spend the money on a super cute outfit I know will only last long enough for me to snap a pic before it gets trashed (hopefully). The two exceptions to this are Christmas and Easter, and Easter is by far my favorite. The clothes are so … [Read more...]
