As a busy mom, I’m always looking for little craft projects we can do on the weekends to keep my kids entertained. Recently, we made these simple lion crafts out of paper plates. Not only did my kids have a blast, but it kept them entertained and busy for close to 30 minutes. To make…
Baby oil is a total multi-tasker. I just realized it the other day. While I was cleaning out my medicine cabinet, I noticed I had a whole bottle. Since my babies don’t need it anymore, and I haven’t used it to tan since I was an idiot in HS, I figured there must be other…

Have you tried Moscow Mule recipes before? I’ve only tried one at a friend’s house, but I’m such a sucker for the cute mugs. It’s funny, I don’t even really remember what it tasted like, but I know I just loved the whole process of drinking them. There’s just something about a cute mug that…

It’s officially berry season, and I couldn’t be happier. I love when I can get fresh berries at the supermarket for under a dollar. It feels like such a win. My family loves most fruit, but my daughter especially loves fresh blueberries. I bought so many packs last week, I quickly realized I needed to…
We make “Mom Drinking Wine” because motherhood is hard. There are a lot of days when I feel completely overwhelmed, feel major mom guilt, or some combination of the two that leads me to believe I’m absolutely failing at my job as their mom. On those days, I take a step back, think about the positive…

They generally won’t eat much protein and they don’t like avocados on their own.

My weekends are packed with running errands, taking the kids to swim lessons, trying to fit in some fitness, and all the other mundane tasks that have to happen on the weekends. It’s really hard to fit it all in, but my goals for 2017 is to focus on my health and fitness. I prioritize…
Easter is a little over a month away. Now that my kids are a little older, I’m going to put a little more effort in to making it fun for them. I already started thinking about ways I could decorate, like with this little Easter Bunny candy jar. Last year, I found a bunch of…

This year, I tried my hand at a panettone bread recipe. My grandparents are from Italy and my dad speaks nostalgically about my grandmother’s…
