How to Remove Slime From Carpet

Hard to believe we are already a month into 2020!  Our new house has been officially started🎉, and I am excited for this year.  January seemed to drag on and on, but I took the time to make new goals and really look at where I am with this blog and where I want it to be. I have A LOT of content that I have been wanting to write and post, and I am ready to hit the ground running this month. The first post for 2020 is one you will probably need if you are a mom: How to Remove Slime from Carpet. [Read more…]

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Gluten-free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Hello friends!  It has been WAY TOO LONG since I posted a recipe.  After many months of looking for a full-time job, I finally found one and life is getting back into a routine.  As a working mom, time is harder to find so I have been focusing on being more intentional in my life.  One area that I am trying to focus on is regularly posting again on my blog and social media.   Since we are well into October, our favorite gluten-free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins sounded perfect to share.   [Read more…]

August 2019 Stitch Fix Kids Review

Stitch Fix Kids celebrated their first year in July. We were so excited to try it for the first time last summer but procrastinated a bit signing up and the girls got their Fixes late in August.  This year, we wanted to get a jump start on back to school shopping so we scheduled Fixes in July. The girls opened their Fixes together for the video below. This Fix (August 2019 Kids Review) is for my 12-year-old daughter Sara.  The review for Megan (my almost 9-year-old) is the July 2019 Kids Review. [Read more…]

Oreo Cereal Treats

Last fall, my daughter was begging me to make rice crispy treats.  They are not my favorite dessert, but I am always happy to make something my kids’ request.  After a pantry search yielded very expired Rice Crispies (gross!), we looked at what else would work.  We had a box of Oreo O’s, so we decided to give them a try.  Super easy and so good! This is now our go-to cereal treat recipe!   [Read more…]

Instant Pot Loaded Baked Potato Soup

 

It seems like every recipe I share is a family favorite.😂 Well, I guess we just have a lot of favorites, and today I am excited to introduce you to our favorite potato soup.  I have been making this recipe in the crockpot for several years (adapted from THIS one) and decided it was time to convert it to my Instant Pot.  It only took 30 minutes start to finish and was delicious!

Parmesan Garlic Breadsticks

Many years ago I found this recipe for breadsticks in a cookbook, and it quickly became a family favorite.  We have tried other recipes throughout the years but always come back to this one. It is simple and delicious with only a few ingredients.  This batch makes about 12 breadsticks in two 9×13 pans, but you can easily half the recipe if you need less. [Read more…]

January 2019 Stitch Fix Kids Review

For Christmas, we decided to get Mother/Daughter Fixes.  My girls loved their fixes for back to school and had been excited about getting another.  This review is for my 8-year-old, Megan.  To distinguish between the two fixes, I am calling Megan’s fix the January 2019 Review, and my 11-year-old’s is the December 2018 Review.   You can find links to that review and their back to school reviews at the end of this post.😃 [Read more…]

January 2019 Stitch Fix Review

For Christmas, we thought it would be fun to do Mother/Daughter Fixes. My younger two girls were very excited to get another Stitch Fix Kids.  Unfortunately, I waited too long to schedule my oldest daughter’s Fix, so she had to wait until she came home from college in February (that review will be up soon!).  Our fixes arrived a couple days before Christmas.  We put them under the tree but ended up opening them the day after Christmas.  I actually did great not peeking at the app ahead of time, so it was fun to open each box and see what was inside.
