“Mommy, what’s Thanksgiving?” asked my curious preschooler.
I thought I’d keep it simple and skip the part about the Pilgrims. “It’s the day in November that we meet with our family and cook lots of lots of food—especially turkey—and take...
I love November! It’s my favorite time of year…even if it’s STILL in the high 80’s here in Florida. I don’t need to see the leaves change color (or rake and bag them for that matter) because cold weather...

If you are like me, a little chocolate or sweet bite is a must at some point in our day, so why feel guilty about it?! I am not the greatest baker, but somehow I conquered a delicious, completely nutritious...
A few weeks ago, I had lunch on a Saturday, wait for it—without the kids. Not only was my lunch date void of playing tick-tack-toe a thousand times too many, but it was full of wonderful conversation with my...

However, if you're like me and have minimal to no experience with Costco, (I had my first visit a few months...
The holidays are officially here (at least in our household); we don't necessarily skip right to Christmas but I am a firm believer that Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years go hand-in-hand. Holiday music is playing, gift shopping has slowly...
