My 15-year-old daughter inspired me to make this craft after making her own Memory Jar for 2014, and I am so excited to start Memory Jars for the whole family for this coming year. It’s a perfect (and perfectly easy) craft for kids and adults alike. Each person, regardless of age, can decorate their […]
As if 2014 weren’t amazing enough for movies with some of our favorite films ever (Maleficent, Guardians of the Galaxy, Into the Woods, Big Hero 6, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day, etc)….2015 looks to be an even more epic year when it comes to upcoming Walt Disney Studios movies. […]
My sister shared this salsa recipe with me years ago and it quickly became a family favorite. We make it at just about every family gathering (it’s wonderful during the summer with a few extra fresh tomatoes) and it’s always a hit with company. While this salsa is delicious any time of the year, […]
I made a delicious and easy dinner using Johnsonville® Meatballs as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. All opinions are my own. And my family’s…because they like to be vocal and opinionated whenever food is involved. #MeatballMasters Sometimes cooking for a family of seven is not an easy task. Sometimes, like this past week […]

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! We’ve had a wonderful holiday, despite the fact that we’ve all been so sick. I hope that you’ve had a wonderful week, whatever holidays you and your family celebrate! And I hope you’ve had a nice break away from the normal routine for some unplugged family time. […]
This post is sponsored by Natera, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. It’s hard to believe that I became a mother 18 years ago tomorrow. It feels like yesterday and it feels like a life time ago, all at the same time. I am proud of the woman my daughter has become, […]
One of the Christmas memories from my childhood that shines the brightest, despite the years since I’ve experienced it, is the yearly drive on Christmas Eve from my grandparents’ house in San Leandro to my home in San Jose. Every Christmas Eve, we gathered the baked goodies for our big family dinner, the wrapped […]
Wondering what to do after the Christmas presents have been opened this week? I am taking my family to see Disney’s Into the Woods, which opens Christmas Day. My 9-year-old son and I were able to see an early screening of the movie a few weeks ago, and the very first thing out of […]
I’d love to say that we waited to buy and decorate our Christmas tree until this past weekend because we couldn’t imagine decorating for Christmas without the whole family together. As it turned out, the fact that we bought our tree this past Saturday and decorated it that night, shortly after our college-aged daughter […]
