Summer Kitchen Basics with Neoflam Midas Plus Cookware
Almost a year ago my husband gave me the green light to start planning our summer kitchen. From new cabinets to new appliances, and everything else that comes along with building a new kitchen, we had fun designing and creating our entertaining area. Now that we have completed the work and entertain in this new kitchen regularly, I find myself constantly running upstairs to our everyday kitchen to get utensils and cookware. I just need simple ...
Starting off the school year with Peppa Pig
I can't believe my second daughter will be headed to school in just a few weeks. It's not mandatory she goes, but she's been begging to go to school and I'm sure breaking up the daily monotony and socializing her will be a good thing for all of us. She's way more excited to start school than I am about letting her go, but I won't let her know that. Instead, I celebrate her excitement with her and let her choose her back to school ...
Getting Creative on Rainy Days
My girls are absolutely amazing when it comes to creativity, building, and using their imagination. I love the story lines they come up with and listening to how they interact with each other, as well as learn from each other.

Right out of the box, the girls were enthusiastic about trying out a new "toy." I say ...

The Little Tikes Giant Slide Bouncer Is A Hit!
While the summer days are dwindling, time spent outdoors doesn't have to. Sure, our schedule will start filling up once school starts, but that doesn't mean we stay indoors a whole lot when we are home. While school and homework and learning are all important, so is fun and activity. I know those harsh winter days are on their way and we will inevitably be stuck in the house, so I try to enjoy it now while we can. Some of our favorite ...
My Favorite Apps for Staying Organized
As the new school year begins, staying organized is my top priority. I rely on my phone a lot and various apps to help me stay on track, and I'd love to share some of my favorite apps with you. Saving money and sifting through weekly circulars is something I do every Thursday. As soon as those weekend flyers come in, I'm already looking through my go-to shops and making lists that I hope I won't forget about. And then I lose my list, ...
