Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
LIfe Hack. Do you know what that is? I had to look it up to make sure I wasn’t misusing it. But….here’s the “official” definition. That’s what I love to talk about here on Sidetracked Sarah. Ways to save us as moms and home managers, time. We don’t want to waste our days away spending too much time on things we don’t enjoy. We want to spend our days on
I recently got a new smart phone and I love trying out all of the different apps available to me now! I’m still sometimes surprised at all of the information that is available to me at my fingertips! I found this cheeseburger recipe on the Blippar App. Have you heard of it yet? The Blippar App is really cool. It is a free app for your Apple, Android, Blackberry or
Mmmm, doesn’t this look like the perfect dessert for summer time? My friend Holly (I’ve told you about her before), she loves trying out new recipes. I asked her if she’d share her special creations with us every now and then, and this is what she came up with! Isn’t it so cute?! It looks scrumptious, too! 1. Take a watermelon and chop off the bottom and
Before we start, many of you have asked me what the best slow cooker you should get is. It varies for every family, but I tell you all about it here: Best Slow Cooker Choices. You all may (or may not) know how much I love Dr. Pepper. It’s true. It is my coffee, but I always wait until lunch time to drink it, unless I’m driving somewhere. I was looking for new recipes
This post brought to you by FrogTape Brand Painter’s Tape. All opinions are 100% mine. I have always loved Americana decorations. I have a whole Pinterest board devoted to the 4th of July and the crafts and foods I can make around that day. This year, I actually started planning to make this sign early enough to enjoy it for Independence Day. I kept seeing different Americana decorations on Pinterest
This is another camping meal that I managed to throw together at the last minute. It was originally one of those camping packet meals that you place in the fire while you’re camping, but since I try to minimize any work I do while camping, I prepared 8 individual packets for my family before we left and we cooked it in the slow cooker! It turned out great. A tasty
A couple of weeks ago, we went on our first camping trip of 2014, together as a family. It was a church camping trip and the kids, of course, had a great time! It’s so much fun for them when their friends from church are camping with them, too! For mom, getting ready for camping is kind of a big deal! Let’s see. A popup camper. Food for 9 people.
Being a mom of 7 amazing children, I have lots of opinions to hear out. Sometimes, I really don’t feel like sorting through all of those opinions. I hear things like: “Mom, will you tell her not to say that.” “Mom, she won’t stop singing, tell her not to please!” “Mom, she doesn’t want to play what I want to play, can you make her play it with me?” “Can

Remember how I am trying to say yes more often? It’s sooooo hard! But, I’m mastering it, slowly but surely. Do you know what I said yes to last week? Finger painting in the kitchen! I had the intent to do it outside, but the sidewalks were all wet from the rain we had the night before and if I would have put paper down, it would have gotten all
Crockpot Freezer Meals are a hot commodity here on SidetrackedSarah! Over 12,000 people have subscribed by email to Sidetracked Sarah, most of whom arrived because they wanted to get their hands on a free printable menu! You all asked and I listened. You wanted to know if I would convert the other menus on my site into a printable menu. Slowly, but surely, I’m getting them done. Today, I’m
We love camping. Several years ago, we bought our pop up camper sight unseen on Ebay. We drove the 12 hours to Michigan to pick it up and enjoyed our very first camping vacation using it. That was back when we only had 4 kids. Now we have 7 kids and this past weekend, we all crammed into that pop up for another weekend. We had set up a tent
