November’s focus at our son’s preschool is ‘What are we thankful for?’ We worked on his homework, the traditional hand print turkey with feathers he needed to decorate with things he is thankful for.

With the holidays right around the corner and Halloween candy in the pantry calling to me these peanut butter balls satisfy any sweet tooth. These tasty little treats are compliments of my mom’s toying with ingredients until she came up with the perfect recipe. My entire family can eat these when they want something sweet […]

We have a food thrower in the house. Food throwing can be cute, for about five seconds. We sit down to eat and half of the food ends up on the floor…every single meal. The other day I lunged for a half-full cup of yogurt as my son threw it over the side of his […]
It started off like a normal day. I wake up to my oldest holding a pair of wet underwear in my face saying he had an accident. We go upstairs to survey the damage and luckily the bed was dry, along with the 20 stuffed animals and pillows on the bed that are a major […]
I was so excited, and anxious, about having a second child. My first-born was getting to a place where, at three years old, he was getting easier by the day. He was way more independent and we could finally leave the house without making it a big ordeal. We got to a place where he […]
