We have made it past the first week of school and are adjusting to lots of new things. New routines, new nanny, new activities, everybody on the bus… It has been very exciting to say the least but also brought some chaos. I remember when my first born was a few weeks old, there were …
Transitions are hard. I think we all know this in our hearts but if you have young children, you witness this hardship multiple times a day. Even if your child likes what you are offering, they may not want to stop doing what they are doing. My son never wants to take a bath but …
As you all probably know by now, I love a good Costco trip! Luckily, running out of meat and back to school dates coincided for me to go just at the right time. I bought the usual good deals, such as the individually-packaged chicken (breasts were $7 off per package!) and canned salmon. I also …

I love to work out. I don’t always like it while it is happening but I love how I feel when I am done. It is upsetting to me if I don’t feel like the work out was hard enough. I know I had a good one if I felt like I was almost going …
Summer is finally here…hot sun, pool weather, playground, beach trips but also…rain. Lots of rain. I guess it depends where you live but if you are in the Northeast or Florida (the two areas I am familiar with), you have been getting lots of rain recently. Rainy day activities in the summer are different than …
Fall may have my favorite pumpkin-related items but summer is full of fresh fruits and vegetables. I love being able to eat lots of good fruits as snacks and share those with my children.
