Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
Who has never eaten green eggs and ham? You’ve surely read the Dr. Seuss book though, right? I was reading about how Read Across America Day is March 1st and Dr. Seuss’s birthday is March 2nd, so why not make green eggs and ham in honor of that? Right? Of course, if you need another reason to eat green eggs, you could always say, it’s almost Saint Patrick’s Day, so
Hey friends! I’ve been very few and far between on these pregnancy updates. I figured I’d better get at least one more in before baby gets here. I turned 37 weeks on Sunday. That means, I’m in the I’m so ready to have this baby club. But, I probably have a full 3 weeks left. The earliest I’ve ever gone is 4 days early. The latest I’ve ever gone is
This post brought to you by Bakery Crafts. All opinions are 100% mine. Avery, my younget daughter, turned 5 this week! How can she be this old already? We gave her the option to have a friend party or a family party this year. Since I’m nearly 37 weeks pregnant, I was pleased when she decided on a family birthday party. Having 8 people in our family and 2 sets

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. Today, I was trying to figure out what I could quickly throw into my crockpot using ground beef. After our chili cook off on Sunday that my husband had entered, we had 2 pounds of ground beef sitting in
Eating together as a family is so important, but with the busyness of life, it can be hard to find the time to actually sit down and eat together. In our family, we have 3 main challenges. Dad’s coming home schedule is ever changing. Kids have activities outside of the home, 3 nights a week. Sometimes dad just wants to “veg” out in front of the TV after a long
It can be so easy to start feeling the winter time blues start to creep in. Being 36 weeks pregnant, I’m not very excited about doing anything very active. I know I need to be more active, but it’s cold outside, I ache when I move and I get out of breath extremely easy due to a baby being all up in my lung capacity. While I do try
Mashed potatoes is one of those dishes that I put off making. The peeling and chopping of the potatoes is so time consuming……… Then we have to wait for them to boil…….. Mash them and add the butter, milk and salt/pepper. ….. This is taking forever! The other day, (the day that I made that yummy Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak), I decided to try a new thing. You know, since

I’m usually really good at brushing my teeth morning and night, but when it comes to flossing and rinsing with mouthwash, I tend to only do that near the time of my dentist appointments. I normally have one goal in
This Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak has been on my menu for weeks, but I kept putting it off. I’m the one who likes the dump it in recipes and this one requires that you actually have to at least form patties and partially precook the meat. To be honest, I was dreading it, but really wanted to try out this recipe. Well, let me tell you, it really wasn’t any
This post brought to you by PERK. All opinions are 100% mine. Having 6 kids, I know all about how quickly a car can start smelling badly. We travel together often and many times, there are yucky treasures left in the back seats, as well as the little nooks and crannies of our van. We can trash out a van in the blink of an eye. I’m sure most
(This is a sponsored post, all opinions are 100% my own) I’ve been a homeschooling mom for 11+ years. While that sounds like a long time, I still never tire of getting my yearly recharge when I attend a homeschool convention. Every year, I search out that perfect convention and go with another homeschooling mom (or my husband, depending on the year). How Does a Homeschool Convention Help to Recharge
