Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
When I met my husband he was in the Army Reserves. He had a 6 year commitment there and then after we got married and had a baby, he decided to become a full time Army employee (aka Active Duty). That commitment was only 3 years. We had our 2nd baby while in the Army. It was a great experience! I loved the Army life. It was
One of my favorite things to order at one of the local Mexican restaurants is Chili Rellenos. I’ve found that not all Chili Rellenos are made equally though. Their tastes can vary greatly between restaurants. Some put meat in and some don’t. Some do different types of cheeses. Typically I don’t try them just anywhere, but when I saw that I could try a version of Chili Rellenos in my slow
My 15 year old daughter has been wrapping presents like a crazy girl. She’s the one in our family who is already done with her Christmas shopping and has been for about a week or more. Yes, she finished on Thanksgiving Day! Me, on the other hand. I tend to wait all the way until Christmas day to get it all done. I don’t tend to plan ahead. Make
In September, our family was able to go on our yearly vacation. We LOVE vacationing in September, but haven’t been able to go these past several years due to high school sports that my kids have been involved in. This year, though, we didn’t have anyone in any fall sports (my son is in college now), so we took the chance to take off! We tend to go to
I’m feeling a little deprived on beef dishes lately. I’ve been trying to save money, so we’ve been eating more pork and chicken. But, I really LOVE a good recipe that calls for stew meat. When it slow cooks all day, it really does taste amazing! Especially if it’s been cooked in any tomatoes or tomato sauce. This one definitely fit the bill! This dish is similar to a
When I first decided to make this recipe, I didn’t really realize that it was a Mexican flavored type of dish. I guess I always gravitate towards Mexican food. I hope you don’t mind. 😀 Really though, this dish can be pretty versatile. You can have it as a Mexican food (like on tortillas or tacos with cheese, sour cream and salsa), you could serve just the meat and eat it
When I see my boys staring at their handheld devices on a nice day, I will admit – I get a little nervous. I wonder what effect the world of electronics has had on our youth, and I remind myself to encourage them to get outside and explore the world around them. A 2010 Kaiser Foundation Study found that children and teens on average spend almost 8 hours each
It’s that time of year where we start sharing all of our awesome and amazing soup recipes. Well, this one sure fits the bill. It’s both awesome AND amazing. This soup is loaded with potatoes, carrots, broccoli, bacon and cheese. It’s hearty and creamy. It’s delicious and warming. I could use so many adjectives to describe it, it’s that good. LOL Let’s just say, there were absolutely no leftovers. I
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Ragu® . The opinions and text are all mine. Even though I often write about Crockpot Freezer Meals, there’s times in my life where I don’t have enough time (or memory) to get something into the slow cooker! I am especially guilty of doing this on Sunday mornings when we’re getting around for church. You don’t want to
Do you remember when you were a newly married young woman (or newly moved away from home) and really had no clue what you were doing in the kitchen? Not only did we not have enough money for expensive kitchen gadgets, but we really didn’t have a good understanding of what we needed and why. Now that I’ve been a wife and/or mother for nearly 20 years I definitely have
I have been having so much fun finally coming up with some great recipes to have again! I must admit something to you though. We went through a busy season and we were kind of living out of the freezer. And I’m not talking yummy Freezer to Slow Cooker meals. I’m meaning, frozen burritos and pizzas. ICK. It was time to get back to the basics and start
Another ground beef recipe! 😀 I hope you all don’t mind two recipes in a row! Today’s recipe is a little twist off of the regular meatloaf. It’s Pizza meatloaf! What does that mean? It is filled with onions, green peppers and pizza sauce and is topped with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. It was nice having a little twist on an old dish. Sometimes, just changing a few things
