Disclosure: I received the book Power Vegan for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. We all know that eating fresh fruits and vegetables, and non-processed, preservative free foods are key to a healthy lifestyle. As mothers, and ultimately the captains of our ships called ‘Family,’ it’s important that we take care of ourselves [...]
Reading the Bible can be boring or adventurous for young children. It depends on how you deliver God’s Word to them. This post will talk about 2 Bibles that kids ages 4-7 like to read. I have found several products from Zondervan that deliver age-appropriate Bible stories and Bibles to kids based on their age [...]
I’m not a short order cook, however my family like variety. I only prepare one meal for each meal-time, however I like to offer choices. That is why I was thrilled to receive several packages of the new Quaker Perfect Portions oatmeal for review. Quaker Perfect Portions are multi-serve, re-sealable packages of oatmeal with no [...]
The “work” of kids is play. I have always been the mom that encourages their kids to play – without worrying about getting dirty. My kids play hard so we need clothes that are made to keep up with them. A few years ago, I started shopping at Gymboree for their adorable styles. They offer [...]
If you are like me, you are a mom who cherishes quality time with your children, especially on Mother’s Day. I specifically like to schedule family activities for Mother’s Day weekend.

Guessing. Getting suggestions from neighbors and family- that’s how the art of vegetable gardening happens in most backyards yards around town. But what grows well in one yard might not always work in the next- what’s the deal? You can shake your head and suffer from your fate of thinking that you did not follow [...]
“What?” you say, “National Record Store Day? Never heard of it!” A week ago, I would have responded the same way. But since then, I’ve learned of the annual National Record Store Day, which celebrates “the art of music,” and the local stores that, for generations, have brought our communities together through a combined love [...]
My family loves dining out at Olive Garden. When they were younger, I found it to be one place that both my kids enjoyed the food and it was a very comfortable family setting. It has become a family favorite and the place that my in-laws enjoy going to for many birthday celebrations. I like [...]
I do everything I can to keep my family healthy. I buy tons of fresh produce, pack healthy lunches, prepare balanced dinners, and ensure plenty of physical activity outside. I try really hard to ensure their health, it is our job as moms, right? Even though I do this for my kids, sometimes I don’t [...]

Another introduction to warmer months have arrived too – pesky insects, especially mosquitoes. How can they show up [...]
My family enjoys the outdoors. We are often found hiking in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park – year-round. My son has been into the minecraft game lately and it is hard to tear him away – but we do – and he always has fun once we get outside. Last week, we took a trip [...]
