A large family lifestyle blog about parenting, recipes, entertainment, photography tips, travel and family-friendly products.
Early in February, I was invited to attend a press day in New York City for the movie Mr. Peabody and Sherman. Travel and accommodations were provided but all thoughts are my own. Do you remember Mr. Peabody and Sherman from the classic Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons of our childhoods? My kids weren’t familiar […]
It’s almost March, and that means everything is turning GREEN! I had a little fun in the kitchen this week and made some peppermint chocolate bark - colored green, of course! I was thrilled with how easy this was to make, and YOU will be thrilled with how yummy it is! This week, we’re […]
Tonight was the annual Blue and Gold Banquet for my Cub Scout son. It has been a few years since we’ve has a Blue and Gold since my older son moved on to Boy Scouts a while ago. This year’s Blue and Gold theme was Inventiveness (or Inventors or Inventions or something like that)… […]
This post has been sponsored by Glad Black Bag, but all opinions are my own. I was just talking with a friend on Sunday about the fact that getting kids to clean up their messes doesn’t get easier as they get older. We both had really hoped that it would. When the kids were little, […]
Last week, I had the opportunity to talk on the phone with Kristen Bell. No compensation was received…unless you count the fact that I am a huge fan of Veronica Mars and I was dying (read: giddy) about the chance to talk to Kristen for the second time in just a few months. OK, […]
The 2014 elementary school Science Fair has come and gone…and my inclination is to shout “thank goodness!” Reese was excited to participate this year and completed her project and poster with a friend from school - 100% on their own. If nothing else, I was so impressed that Reese and her friend had the […]
This post-about-pies is sponsored by FOODIE by Glam in celebration of Pi Day on March 14. All opinions and lemon meringue pie recipe shared are my own. I love pies. Love them. When I turned 16, I asked my mom to make me pies instead of cakes for my birthday from then on. Seriously, […]
Muppets Most Wanted activity sheets have been shared via Disney - I didn’t create these printables, nor am I being compensated in any way for sharing them. They are simply here for the enjoyment of my readers’ kids (and thus a few minutes of sanity to the moms and dad out there. Provided free […]
This post brought to you by Giant Eagle. All opinions are 100% mine. I love to create from-scratch meals for my family, but sometimes it's just not feasible. Time and energy definitely play a factor in whether or not I put a fresh-cooked dinner on the table. Rather than reaching for pizza, frozen foods, or […]
I almost thought I was out of ideas for quick dinners this week…but I had a moment of inspiration for lunch the other day and whipped up this delicious pasta dish. What’s better (and, yes, I did think of this while I was preparing it!) it’s made up of lots of green ingredients to […]
