*I’m a PediaSure SideKicks Partner and am a sponsored blog partner, but all opinions are my own. Please see below for additional disclosure. We've talked several times on the blog before about ways for moms to get more energy - there just never seems to be enough, does there?! - but I always like to get new perspective on the subject. Today, our contributor Janssen (a mom of three, including a baby) is here sharing what works best for her. And, I have to say, it's a really solid list. I … [Read more...]
4th of July Frozen Treats with Hidden Fruits & Veggies
*I’m a PediaSure SideKicks Partner and am a sponsored blog partner, but all opinions are my own. Please see below for additional disclosure. With weekend bar-b-ques, swim lessons, and park play dates in full swing, it's definitely starting to feel like summer around here! Around our house that means a lot of things, including more lax bedtimes and, often, less nutritious eating then I normally strive for... This week alone we've already grilled hotdogs and cooked s'mores in the backyard … [Read more...]
20 Meals To Make Eating In Like Eating Out
About once a week, usually on Friday night, we have a movie night and some kind of take-out. It's something for the whole family to look forward to and it's quickly becoming a highly anticipated family tradition. What's not so wonderful, though, is the toll it can take on our wallets (especially now that we've graduated beyond the baby food and officially have five mouths to feed). This has led to a new mini-obsession of mine - the "copy cat" recipe. Turns out, the interweb is full of … [Read more...]
Nutritious Kid Snacks: Strawberry Banana Coconut Energy Bites
*I'm a PediaSure SideKicks Partner and am a sponsored blog partner, but all opinions are my own. Please see below for additional disclosure. Are you struggling to get your kids to eat enough fruits and vegetables? You're not alone! 93 percent of kids don’t eat enough vegetables and 60 percent don’t eat enough fruit. At our house it's currently the veggies that are the problem. I try and try but to no avail, it's beyond frustrating and I worry about my kids' nutrition. Which is why I was … [Read more...]
20 Healthy & Simple Kid-Friendly Snacks
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...]
My Favorite Mother’s Day Gift Idea
One of my number one priorities as a mom is to do my best to stay in the moment and enjoy my three young kids as much as I can. As they say, though, “The days are long but the years are short”. Which, in my case, means that’s sometimes that’s easier said than done. That is exactly why I truly love my Keurig (like I’d be kind of lost without it) and why I think it would make such a wonderful Mother’s Day gift for anyone who doesn’t have one this year. I seriously don’t think I know a mom … [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...]
18 Slow Cooker Dinners the Kids Will Actually Eat
The slow cooker is one of the most-used tools in my kitchen. I love being able to throw a meal together in advance and not have to attempt chopping vegetables while holding a small child (or fending one off at my feet). Not every kid feels the way I do about the slow cooker, and I can understand why. Some slow cooker meals come out looking like a pile of unrecognizable mush (especially those that go from freezer to slow cooker- time-savers don't always look appetizing). Not to worry, … [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...]
