Spruce Up Your Space
Do you let your littles help in the kitchen? I do! It helps them learn new skills and feel like they’re contributing, although it can be made a little quicker than if I was cooking solo, and it can be less dirty, LOL! My weekly meal rotation almost always includes our favorite family recipe: a [...]

My family attended a neighborhood trunk-or-treat Halloween party this weekend. It was so fun seeing all the kids we attend church with dressed up as their favorite characters. The nacho bar was really yummy and so was the dessert…as were the candy bars I snuck from my kids’ Halloween bags (; My favorite part was [...]

Summer is in full swing around here and it seems like our littles constantly have a cool treat in their chubby fists to beat these triple digits!
