Anyone with a busy schedule or picky kids knows that pasta is a staple in the pantry. I always loved plain pasta as a child, but as I grew into adulthood I started appreciating different flavors and ingredients to compliment the pasta I was eating. After I had kids, I tried to make healthier dishes with fun pasta they would love. From homemade mac and cheese with a twist to sneaking veggies in pasta sauce, I've tried it all! I always find the ...

Mini Babybel Cheese Are a Perfect Snack!
It's time to start thinking about what you will be packing your little ones for lunch! I guess we live in an era of over achieving parents with Pinterest at their disposal, but the new trend in school lunches is not what your mama packed for you growing up. I love the idea of bento style lunches since it gives kids a taste for a little bit of everything in a fun presentation that will make them want to try new things, or at least I hope that's ...
Never Burn Popcorn Again! @PopSecret #Sponsored
Family nights are becoming more frequent now that my daughters are old enough to sit through a movie. We've enjoyed many of the recent hits like Lego Movie, Pirate Fairy, and Frozen (over and over) and have perfected our movie night routine. We lay out a big fluffy blanket in the living room, pop some Pop Secret popcorn in the microwave, lay out some pillows, and start the movie. Speaking of popcorn- have you ever had that lingering smell ...

Trying Out Healthy and Delicious thinkThin bars On The Go
Eating on the go is something I think all moms can relate to. Whether it is finding quick foods for your kids to eat or something healthy for you to snack on, portability is key for the on the go eater. The problem with eating on the go is that convenience foods may often contain ingredients that are on my no-no list. I prefer whole foods and ingredients that are common and "clean." When I found out about thinkThin protein bars, I was ...
Pack @RevolutionFoods for Your Kids During Your Travels! #Sponsored #MC
Raise your hand if you have a picky eater! I DO I DO! Although compared to many of my friends, I feel that my girls do eat healthy and love their greens, but when it comes to meal time I feel that it is always a battle. My girls stick to the same foods, which are generally homemade organic chicken nuggets, whole grain pasta, and organic broccoli. Other things they might eat are spinach pies, home made pizza, and spinach ravioli. I know- it sounds ...
Healthy Snacking On The Go With Stonyfield #RealLifeMoments #MC #sponsored
Finding healthy on the to snacks for kids can sometimes be tough. I don't want to sacrifice nutrition for convenience, and now with Stonyfield yogurt pouches I don't have to. My daughters both started their first yogurt with Stonyfield because I like the flavors they offered, and most importantly, their dairy cows are no treated with hormones or antibiotics. Now that Stonyfield offers on the go yogurt pouches, I know my girls can eat healthy ...
A Movie Night Featuring Brancott Estate Flight Song Wine
Many of my mom friends always complained that they never get enough time with their friends. After becoming a mom, I finally understood and after my second child I made it a point to get out more. Don't get me wrong, motherhood is wonderful and something I looked forward to since I was a kid. I do, however, see how easy it is to get lost in the humdrum of routine, diapers, and goldfish crackers. It doesn't have to be like this! Taking time out ...
