30 Ways to Eat Veggies All Day Long (for You & the Kids)
I recently had a serious energy crash (I'm talking could barely get myself up off the couch to do anything for days and days kind of crash). To get myself out of it, I did a lot of research on things like The Adrenal Re-set Diet.

7 Simple Easter Hair Ideas for Girls + A Video!
Now that S is 5, I'm finding that the standard "half up with one barrette on each side" hairdo that I've been relying on isn't quite cutting it anymore. While she's not overly demanding now (an especially sparkly barrette or two clips instead of one is enough of an upgrade from the norm at the moment), I can tell the days when she'll be begging for braids and bow buns aren't far off. I figure I might as well get out ahead of it and start learning about such techniques now. Plus, … [Read more...]

In the spirit of 'sticking to our New Years commitments,' I whipped up a better for you treat for Valentine's Day. If you're eating clean, this is a treat you can indulge in but the kids will love it too. It's also super easy to make (hello two ingredients!) and it makes a pretty gift. There are several different ways of combining the two ingredients (semi-sweet chocolate and pomegranate seeds). I decided to make it into a bonbon shape by using a mini muffin tin. They are so tiny and … [Read more...]
DIY New Year’s Eve Party Hats
Spending New Year's Eve at home with the kids is as fun as you make it. You can mope around about the fact that you're not hitting the town, or you can pick some activities that the kids will really get into, celebrate it at 8pm and then toast each other when they're all tucked in bed. Last year we made our own balloon drop, drank some super yummy mocktails, ate sparkling Jello push pops, and even contemplated the 14 habits of happy families to fill out our FREE year-in-review/year-to-come … [Read more...]
Simple Holiday Baking: Peppermint Bombe Cake

You get all the credit for slaving away in the kitchen, when really you spent 20 minutes throwing it together and watched it turn into something amazing while you help the kids with their homework. I love this peppermint bombe cake because it looks so pretty on inside and out. You really can't mess up the frosting and when you sprinkle the outside with candy canes, it turns incredibly festive.
