Does This Make Me a Bad Mom?
Several weeks ago, my kids were bickering like nobody’s business. We have this ongoing fight with the teen girls. One of them loves to sing. The other gets annoyed by repetitive singing. On this particular day though, the teen girls were fighting about everything, including singing. The toddler was crying about EVERYTHING. The preschooler was enjoying annoying his 7 year old sister a little too much. And, EVERYONE was tattling! It
Encouragement for a #momfail day
The kitchen is a disgusting mess. You’re walking to the laundry room to find your 4 year old a pair of jeans because for some odd reason he wet his pants. Instead of making it to the laundry room, you slip in some spilled juice on the floor. Your kids need a bath (and a haircut, too) and the toddler is drawing on the wall. Dinner is looking like spaghetti (again).
Slow Cooker Beef & Cheese Pasta
The funny thing about blogging about crockpot meals is that my family doesn’t get to eat the same meal twice very often. I mean, we do go back and repeat things, but I’m always so eager to try new things, that we often don’t get around to eating a favorite until months later. My poor family. That is happening with this meal. Apparently, it’s one of my best slow

Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Nachos
This recipe started out as something different. It wasn’t originally going to be served over chips. It was supposed to be a low carb recipe, but then… when I made it, it just seemed weird. It wasn’t very tasty. It was bland chicken in the slow cooker. There wasn’t enough seasonings. I couldn’t feed it to my family, much less tell you the recipe. So… I did what any cook
9 of the Most Appreciated Clutter-Free Baby Gift Ideas
As a mom of 7 kids, I’ve been on the receiving end of baby gifts A LOT in my life. You would think that would mean that I know exactly what I should get new moms when it’s their turn to get a gift from me. The funny thing is that I’ve had my fair share of struggling with what to buy new moms, too….that is until recently. I think we all
Chocolate Lava Brownie in the Slow Cooker
This Chocolate Lava Brownie was so amazing! It’s super easy, too! It cooks in the slow cooker on high for 2 hours, so it doesn’t take long for it to be done either.

Making a Frozen Themed Easter Basket for my Princess
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of ©Frozen. The opinions and text are all mine. Once upon a time, in a house not far away in Kansas, lived 5 little princesses with their parents. The oldest two are too old to like childish things, the next two already had so many pretty things that they didn’t need any more Princess-y items, but the youngest one, she was
Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Soup (Low Carb)
It’s time to get back to cooking for me. My family has been eating way too much fast food and pizza! It’s easy to get out of the habit of cooking on a regular basis when you’re busy, isn’t it? Well, since I’m the girl who’s halfheartedly trying to stay on a diet, I figured I should find some low carb recipes to try. I’m half-hearted after my trip to Colorado
9 Reasons To Choose Breckenridge as Your Next Romantic Destination
(This is a sponsored post written on behalf of Wyndham Vacation Rentals. All opinions shared are 100% my own.) I remember listening to a speaker at a conference I was attending talk about how he and his wife planned to take a trip together without kids EVERY YEAR. I was astonished. I remember thinking, their kids must not need them as much as my kids do. My kids would be a basket
