I have to admit, my brain doesn't work in Minecraft ways, but my 7 year old has picked up Minecraft lingo very quickly and enjoys building her worlds and occupying her free time in the Minecraft world.

All you need is love, and coffee..
Coffee.. I really don't have to say more. Just the word invokes a sense of calm, or a feeling that you can conquer everything on your to do list before 1pm. It's the sweetest "pick me up" and the best way to catch up with a friend. It's something to look forward to each morning. I always remember a fresh pot of coffee brewing each morning in my parent's house, but I didn't know the importance of coffee until I was a parent myself. You can say I ...
Will Early Introduction of Certain Foods Prevent Allergies?
This post was sponsored by Aralyte. All opinions and experiences are my own and may differ from yours. Be sure to speak to your doctor before starting a new regimen. With so much attention and knowledge about food allergies, it's easy to become so wrapped up in fear for your kids that you are afraid to try new things. As a person with food allergies myself, I spent years in fear that something I eat may trigger a reaction. Although ...

PJ Masks are On The Way to Halloween!
Halloween is a little over two weeks away and "Miss. Indecisive" AKA my middle child, has gone from wanting to be a super hero to being a princess, then back to a superhero. She fears that being a superhero makes her look like a boy, but I've assured her MANY times that it doesn't, and that girls can be superheroes too. It took a lot of convincing and I wasn't quite sure I got my point across because my stubborn little girl wasn't having it. Then ...

The Virus That Never Seemed to Go Away
About a year ago the "virus that never went away" started in my household. It was right after Halloween. My middle daughter came home with a runny nose. From a simple runny nose everything else seemed to spiral downward. Soon after my oldest daughter was diagnosed with an infection. My little guy started displaying symptoms of a cold in the meantime. Less than a week later I had all three kids sick. I saw a light at the end of the ...
