DIY Play Dough
April 17, 2025
My kids love play dough but I do not know how many times over the years I have had to buy play dough because my kids leave it out and it dries up. Those little cups add up because of course they all want different colors.It wasn’t until my middle was in preschool that I even thought about making it myself. I mean there’s no way the school was going to buy that much play dough. So I asked how they made it. And of course I’m going to share the recipe here for all of you!What even better...

It’s that time of year again!!! It’s time for football! My family are huge football fans. We have always watched football together for as long as I can remember. Football season brings back so many great memories! My family keep the tradition going. Every year we all get together on Sundays or whatever day our team is playing and watch the game. Of course we always have snacks and food! It was always tough being together and being the only one who couldn’t enjoy all of the yummy treats. But, I have learned to adapt and create my own...
I love when I can have made ahead meals on hand. Especially now that the kids are going back to school. It can get pretty chaotic in the mornings. Somehow, they all seem to need my help at the same time. So, to be able to have a breakfast already made and ready to go is a life saver! My kids are really starting to love oatmeal and that makes this mama so happy. But I know they don’t want it the same way every day. I try to keep it interesting by playing around with different mix ins...

Hello friends! I cannot believe that July is almost over! Where has the year gone? That means grilling season is almost over. Unless you’re like my family who will literally grill in rain. We don’t play when it comes to BBQ’s. Our last barbeque my husband wanted to try something different. He’s kind of been on a health kick lately which is amazing!! So of course, I would grill him whatever he wanted. Which happened to be shrimp. We are not seafood eaters! I don’t think anyone in my family has ever cooked fish or shrimp, so I decided...

DIY Yogurt Pouches
April 15, 2025
Hi friends!! I’m back with a money saving hack for all parents!! I’m sure most of you know how ridiculous the prices of everything is now a days with baby food/ yogurt pouches being between 1.50 – 4.00 dollars a pouch!! Which to me is just crazy! So if I wanted to feed my son one premade pouch a day it would around 45.00 to 120.00 a month! Not to mention a lot of them have added sugars or a high amount of sodium. And while there are some good brands out there not everyone can afford it. Funny...
My kids are super picky eaters! They will not touch a bowl of oatmeal, but they will snack on granola all day long. I never used to eat granola because when I looked at the nutrition facts not only were they full of sugar but also full of fat. So, they tended to be very calorie dense and not very helpful if you’re wanting to stay in a deficit. That changed when I needed something to aide in milk production after having my kids. So, I decided to make my own granola. I wanted something that was going to...
I don’t know about you but as a mom of four rambunctious kids, everyday someone is getting hurt. My girls are like little tomboys, and they like to play rough. My son is always getting knocked down by either his sisters or the dog. It’s never ending! So, what’s a mom to do? Well, for one I have a never-ending supply of band aides and two I try to keep an ice pack in the freezer at all times! I used to buy ice packs you know the kind that have little beads in them but somehow, they all...
Hello friends! Can you believe tomorrow is the Fourth of July! This year has just flown by! Fourth of July is always a fun holiday for me. Ever since I was a kid my family always celebrated with swimming, food and fireworks. I can still remember my brother, sister and I swimming until it was dark enough for fireworks which always seemed like forever thanks to the summer solstice which makes it dark later. I still tease my sister about burning me with a sparkler when we were kids. Its all about making those core memories. I want to...
