Do your kids like to join you in the kitchen? If so, Princess Pink Jello Salad is going to be a new favorite in your side dish repertoire! I’ve been making this “salad” since I was a little girl and it has been so fun to pass it on to my daughter. She has dubbed …

When I was in my early twenties I worked at a darling Italian restaurant. And that, is where I learned to love gnocchi. Everything there was fresh and delicious. True Italian food. There were veggies and varieties of pasta, and one of my favorite things was to sit down at the end of the evening …

Spring break is way different for moms than it is for kids. For kids it’s all about taking a break from school, sleeping in (or not), enjoying some down time, and doing a fun activity or two. For moms spring break is about juggling. Who needs to be where and when. What needs to get …

My youngest is 4 months old and right now he loves wearing hip hats, laughing with his siblings, “reading” during tummy time, and hanging out in his Snuggle Me Organic baby lounger. Life is easy and life is good for this little cutie! When I was expecting, I really honed in on what was truly …

Two years ago, I gave birth in the heart of winter. All my other babies have been born on warm days in the summer and fall. But this little one arrived with a snowfall, and it was the most beautiful experience. While the degrees plummeted outside, I was inside, bundled in flannel sheets with a …

I’ve always been one who believes in breakfast. Nothing like starting the day with a hearty meal! I’m raising my kids to feel the same way and together we enjoy a rotation of bacon and eggs, oatmeal, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and most recently, this scrumptious overnight baked French toast.
