The book is called A Thankful Book for Kids: Giving Thanks, Helping Others, and Feeling Grateful. I’m so excited to get to announce this book and share more details on…
Do you ever find a piece of clothing and then realize it’s clearly a trend? I didn’t realize how popular a yellow midi dress was for spring until I started looking. It seems now that every way I turn I see another store selling a yellow dress. I recently got this marigold yellow silk dress…
I recently got this amazing new pan from my friends at Ninja, so I wanted to try out a one-pot meal to see how it works. I chose this puff pastry chicken pot pie meal because it was something I could accomplish in one pan and it looked delicious. This is such an easy chicken…
Today is National Zucchini Bread day! I’ve always loved veggie bread. Pumpkin bread (check out my pumpkin recipes) and zucchini bread are two of my favorite things to bake and enjoy because they are so simple to make and always taste delicious. My mom didn’t bake a ton when I was a kid, but she…
I bet your kids are talking about recycling in school today. I bet they made some earth-shaped crafts, or something similar. I’m sure their teachers talked to them about the importance of caring for our planet. All of that is great, and a worthy thing to teach kids. But have you ever thought about sustainability…

I recently got this cute crochet cover up that doubles as a dress for a nighttime look. So I thought it would be fun to show how to style this knitted beach dress in two ways. When I got this dress, I wasn’t sure I’d be that into it. I don’t really wear beige too…
Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line hosted us, including our excursion to Pearl Island. All opinions are my own.

Last summer, my kids attended Camp Galileo, a leader in innovative summer camps.This year, Galileo Learning reached out to us and offered us a free week of camp and I can honestly say that it was my kids’ favorite week…
About five months ago, I met the owner of PKLR sport. I had no idea what PKLR stood for. He explained PKLR stands for ‘pickler’. So what is a pickler you ask? Someone who plays pickleball. Prior to meeting him, I had never even heard the term pickleball, I knew nothing of the sport, and…
I recently got this bright pink pleated dress. I love how classic the style is, yet the bold color makes it so perfect for spring. Pleats are such a classic style and definitely a wardrobe staple. I can still remember a teal pleated skirt I had back in the mid-2000s. It’s one of those pieces…

My favorite candy bar, by far, is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. But, I actually love the holiday-shaped Reese’s even more. I don’t play favorites, I equally love the eggs, trees, pumpkins, and hearts.
