Update!
We’re working right now on an exciting announcement…we’re taking our business to a new level and can’t wait to share more with you soon!!!
What is your go-to recipe for dinner?
I will confess: I really, really struggle with cooking dinner! So, I need your help — what is your go-to recipe for a quick and maybe even healthy dinner?
Way #83: Master the meals!
Last week, my husband and I disagreed about what we were having for dinner almost every night! What should have been a time to relax and enjoy each other’s company became a time that we both dreaded. He didn’t want to eat what I had planned for that night, and I didn’t want to spend [...]
Way #82: Start a collection!
When I was a little girl I used to collect stickers. My mom use to buy me those little plastic sticker books, and boy did I have fun filling them up! Whenever we went to the store, I was always exited to get a new batch of stickers, especially sparkly ones! As I got older, [...]
Way #81: Grow a Garden!
Around the end February and the beginning of March is the perfect time to start planting a garden for the spring and summer! If you’re not really into planting fruits and vegetables, then try planting a flower garden. Either way, gardening is great activity to do outdoors and to get your children involved with. Vegetable [...]
How do you keep track of your schedule?
Lately, I’ve been feeling like I just can’t keep up with everyone’s schedule — last week, I had a “surprise” early release day for my son wreak havoc on my routine and today, a “surprise” field trip caught me off guard. I am curious — how do you keep up with the family schedule?
Way #80: Love unconditionally!
Loving someone unconditionally is much harder than it sounds. We say we truly love someone, but it usually comes with a set of conditions. I’ll love you as long you never_____________ or I’ll love you as long as you _____________. And if that person, who we are supposed to love unconditionally, makes a mistake or [...]
Way #79: Recycle!
Does it ever feel like you take the trash out on a daily basis? That the garbage man comes on Tuesday, and by Thursday, your can is already full again? One way to eliminate so much waste it to recycle. If you’re like me and don’t have space to put a large recycle bin in [...]
Way #78: Have a Snack!
During the first of the year, many people set goals to eat healthier and lose weight. My husband is one of those people, and so far he is doing a great job. One thing that’s helped him is eating little snacks throughout the day, as opposed to letting himself get so hungry that he stuffs [...]
How do you keep your car clean?
I thought about posting a picture of my car, but then decided it might frighten you! We clean out our car EVERY week, but somehow, by Wednesday, it is SCARY! Papers, shoes, socks, (disgusting) food crumbs, books, markers, crayons — ARGH! It is making me a little crazy, and I wanted to see what tips [...]
Way #77: Use your together time to teach!
Over the past couple of weeks, my almost-three-year-old has developed a little bit of an addiction with his dad’s Nintendo DS. I have to admit, it can be really nice for him to sit and play while I am trying to get dressed or get some work done, but if I don’t keep an eye [...]
Way #76: Clean as you go!
How does it happen? One minute, the house is clean (or pretty close to clean) and then, by the end of the day, it’s a disaster! My mom pointed out something that for some reason I hadn’t implemented in my household — she told me a story about how my sister and her son Oliver [...]
Way #75: Go old-school with a photo album!
Have a ton of printed pictures and don’t know what to do with them? Try putting them in a good, old-fashioned photo album! When my son was born, I felt like I had to scrapbook every picture that I took of him…and I did for the first year, but after that I was overwhelmed with [...]
How do you start the day off right?
I am struggling…each day, it’s the same old routine! The kids wake me up super early, but somehow, we’re always running behind. One of my goals this year is to give my mornings a makeover, and so I would love your thoughts and advice — what do you do to start the day off right?
Way #74: Celebrate birthdays all week long!
I think it was actually my mom who started this tradition in our family…instead of celebrating our birthdays on just one day, we would extend it for a few days! I’ve started doing that with my own family as well. For my husband’s birthday this year, we started a few days early — with a [...]
