I use to try to meal plan around the deals in the weekly supermarket circulars, but I still forget an ingredient here and there. I hate to admit it, but many nights I throw in the towel and end up ordering dinner, or I make a simple pita-pizza for the kids because it's easy. Meal planning with ...

Navigating the Journey With Walgreens #CFChampions #IC ad
It is a well known fact that most ailments have a better outcome when you adhere to doctor's orders and take medication as prescribed. Oftentimes, even with diligent care, people with Cystic Fibrosis can become dangerously ill and require a lung transplant in order to survive.

Adult Coloring Books- Because coloring isn’t JUST for kids!
If you haven't jumped on the "coloring isn't JUST for kids" bandwagon, you are truly missing out. I couldn't wait for the day my girls were old enough to color with me because coloring is something I've always enjoyed.

Sore into learning with Miles from Tomorrowland
I can count on one hand the amount of shows I love my kids watching. Of course, they have their own ideas of what they want to see, but I'm happy when they choose shows like Miles from Tomorrowland. You see, my kids think they are just watching a show but what I see is them actually learning something. It's not often you find a show teaching science skills, and as a science nerd myself, I'm pretty stoked to hear the fun facts Miles ...
Officer Judy Hops is on Patrol in her Police Cruiser
