Hi, friends. I have something really important to tell you about today. You might know that April is Autism Awareness month. This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Although my own two kids are not autistic, they do have some sensory processing issues that make life interesting. I’ve also volunteered an unmeasurable number of hours at our elementary school, where I have spent time with … Continue Reading →

Happy Monday! I hope that everyone had a good Easter weekend. We ended up not doing our traditional family photos – yet. Everyone had a long, rough week and was pretty grumpy by the weekend. The idea of spending a few hours at the park to get frowny photos wasn’t even a little appealing to me. Sometimes it is important to know when to just take a break and do … Continue Reading →

I love a simple recipe. Especially one that turns out looking like you spent hours on it, even if it took you less than one. This is that recipe. Honestly, it took me all of 20 minutes to make these from start to finish. I was inspired by the Homemade Pop Tarts recipe in the Weelicious Lunches Cookbook. Mine would be okay for breakfast, but they also make a fairly … Continue Reading →

We love decorating hard boiled eggs for Easter at my house. We usually eat all of them too. (It helps that we don’t dye more than a dozen.) What I don’t love though, is the mess. Dying eggs is only a little messy and fairly easy to clean up. After we dye the eggs and pop them back in the refrigerator though, they sweat. Does anyone else have a sweaty … Continue Reading →

When I was a kid, my favorite Easter candy was Peeps. You know, those neon marshmallow things with extra sugar added to the outside? Now, just thinking about them makes me twitchy. Don’t get me wrong, I still love a piece of Easter candy or three. So do my kids. I think that holidays are a time to indulge. However, if you’re only going to have something on special occasions, … Continue Reading →

My family loves chicken parmesan. Hubby likes to joke that when we are really tired and the pantry is empty, we always make it. Chicken parm is really a lot of work and plenty of mess, but for us it is the perfect comfort food, so the effort seems effortless. The problem comes when trying to feed the kids. Cutting up a big piece of chicken and not spilling red … Continue Reading →

Happy Monday! Kind of. I’d really rather just go back to bed right now. It is chilly outside and looks like it is about to rain. That isn’t really an inspiring way to start of the week though, is it? Last week’s meal plan went as scheduled. The new spaghetti recipe we tried on Monday was delicious and simple. You might notice it is on the menu again this week. … Continue Reading →

I don’t really wear a lot of jewelry, but I do have a lot. I tend to wear about the same five things over and over. Most mornings, I’m kind of in a hurry, so I just grab whatever I see and go. I know I have lots of nice things, buried in my drawer. Somewhere. Finally, I had enough of the mess and decided to get organized. I pulled … Continue Reading →
