Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
‘Tis the season for lots of apples. I do love the apple season when the apples are cheaper and we can afford to get them more often!

I haven’t had time to try them all, but I’m sure they’re all delicious! There are 50+ recipes on this list! If you have a recipe that should be on this list,
Do you have an over abundance of leaves? Yeah….I think we all do. Don’t you just wish there was something we could do with them besides mulch them or rake and bag them? I found one thing! I ran across this craft the other day and set it aside for another day. This morning, I announced to my kids that they could go pick out a leaf or two and
Nothing says “Welcome”, like a beautiful wreath on the front door. It is so inviting and really dresses up the atmosphere of your home! Unfortunately for me, I have yet to dress up my home like anything. I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of the clothes in my house (from the summer to fall clothing switch) and can only dream of doing one of these wreaths in the
Today marks the end of Week 6. We are officially to the halfway point of my 12 week commitment. I am back down 1.8 pounds (after last week’s gain), making my total pounds lost 10 pounds! Yay! I’m not sure how though, because I’ve not been doing very well when it comes to sticking to my plan. Announcement: At the end of this post, there will be a link up
My 3 year old daughter loves playing with her older sisters! I hear her many times throughout the day, begging the 12 year old to play dolls with her. My 12 year old is usually more than willing to entertain her younger sister for a little while, but many times she’s not too thrilled about playing doll. She normally decides to get a bit creative and comes up with a
Today is Day 4 of my 10 day series, Family Friendly Fall! It’s time to enjoy some reading time with your little ones! . If you’d like to see what I offer on the other days, go to my Family Friendly Fall page. My little ones love reading books, but I’m not very good at taking the time to read to them very often.

Welcome back to Day 2 of Family Friendly Fall! If you’d like to see what I offer on the other days, go to my Family Friendly Fall page. I’m spending this week and next week, telling you all about the fun ways that we enjoy fall. How can you do that without talking about food? Fall is when the weather cools down and suddenly we don’t mind eating soup again!
Hello dear friends! Today marks the beginning of week 6. At the end of this week, we will be half way to our 12 week goal! I am in a slump here in weight loss land. I’m not feeling very excited about losing weight any more. It’s coming off slowly and this week, instead of losing weight, I gained a pound. 🙁 I’m trying not to be too discouraged,
Today marks the first day of a fun series that I’m hosting here on Sidetracked Sarah! With the weather getting cooler, our family LOVES to spend time outside! We’ve been so busy, sometimes it’s hard to stop and enjoy the crisp fall weather. We need to remember to enjoy our children while they’re young and to make memories with them! Here’s some ideas to get you (and me) going!
