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 …
The end of summer is super busy, so for this week’s blog post I am sharing an oldie but goodie post on whether to meal plan or not and how to get started!! Luckily, we are no longer buying diapers! To meal plan or not to meal plan… – Smart Mama, MD (smartmamamd.com) Stay tuned …
This week marks my husband’s and I’s ten year wedding anniversary (and 16 years together!). I was looking at cards to buy and so many of them talk about how the other person makes them happy. This got me thinking about that topic. It seems like a very big burden to have to make people …

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. I also enjoy cooking with zucchini and yellow squash because they are so versatile! Cucumbers are good too but I mostly …
If you are lucky or planned better than I did last Fall when I was signing up for camp, your kids may have already been in camp for 1-2 weeks. I thought I would be taking some amazing vacation and opted to have my children start camp on week 2, which was a mistake. We …
