Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
Do you ever just have one of those days? A day where everything you try just fails? Yeah, this was my day last week. The time got to be 6:00 p.m. and I still hadn’t made dinner! The kids had been bickering all day and I wanted to go and hide in the bathroom. But, I didn’t. Instead, I realized the problem was that everyone was hungry. Again. It
This is a sponsored post written by me, for Minute® Rice. I have always loved how quick and easy it is to use Minute Rice, so it made sense that I should share how I use it in this recipe. I hope you love it! Cold weather is the perfect time to have comfort food, don’t you think? Growing up, I remember wanting a late night snack on a

Have you ever just been so busy that you feel your mind shut down a little? That week had been one of those weeks.

It was one of those days. Stressful. I really needed to get my Crock Pot Pork Chops going in the morning, but….it was not happening. I have 3 kids with some health problems, 2 of which I’ve been dealing with on a pretty regular basis. We went to the city to take each of them to see their individual specialist yesterday. The trip went well, but after some discussion with their
It’s just now starting to get colder outside here in Kansas. We had a very moderate fall, so our leaves are barely changing here, which is very unusual. Have you started to see more colds and flu viruses going around? Our family has just experienced our first one. My 16 year old daughter got it, but, amazingly, she managed not to spread it to anyone. I was shocked! Finally, what I’ve
Don’t you just love the fall weather? It is FINALLY starting to cool down here in Kansas and I’m loving it. It’s been a weird fall though. The leaves have been slowly changing, but they’ve been falling faster than they’re changing. It’s not been nearly as pretty as it normally is, here in Kansas. But since it’s finally cooling down again, when I think of the fall weather, I
Thanksgiving is a big day that requires planning ahead! But for the sidetracked mom, sometimes days pass us by and before we know it, it’s here! No need to panic though. We’ve got some great ideas brewing…. Last year was my first year ever hosting Thanksgiving at my house. We served 21 people. We pushed our two dining tables together and managed to seat everyone at what appeared to be one

Have you ever wished you could find the perfect meal to feed your guests? Mmm, this is one of those AMAZING meals! It is cooked together with the perfect blend of spices and flavors. We have discovered that we love pork so much more than I ever imagined. Especially pork tenderloin. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to embrace it as I do. The next time I make
When I think of the fall season, my memory immediately think of pumpkins, Thanksgiving, crunching leaves, cooler weather and most especially warm, hearty soups. Whether on a chilly day or a cold night, slow cooker soups are as heartwarming as eating it together with family and friends. If you’re like me, you like a really good soup that was simmered for a long time. But that requires time and effort which not a lot
I love the fall season! I also love all of the vegetables and fruits that seem to be plentiful during these months. Pumpkins and apples, corn, sweet potatoes and cranberries and more! Have you been looking for different ways to cook your fall harvest? Fall is slowly creeping in and I just love the colorful harvest that is slowly finding it’s way to the grocery stores. I have prepared a list of recipes
I have been making Crockpot Freezer Meals for about 5 years now and let me tell you, they are a lifesaver for me. On the weeks that I have all of my meals planned out and in the freezer, my supper time (which also coincides with my busy time of driving kids to karate, play practice, etc. ) becomes so much less stressful. The hardest part? Remembering to
