I can’t believe the first month of 2023 is basically over! In my last blog post, I shared my new found love – the Happy Planner. I discussed a little bit about why I switched from my bullet journal to this one but today, I want to go over the process I use to help …
I hope everyone had a chance to reflect during MLK day and/or have some opportunities for service. It’s ok if you didn’t! Plan for it for next year. As I was getting ready to write my blog for the week, I realized I didn’t have anything too profound to blog about in Dr. Martin Luther …
After a few weeks off from the blog due to the BEST World Cup (Mundial) EVER and some holiday inpatient service time, I am back with some recommendations as we are once again getting ready to travel during a busy holiday season. We have been fortunate to be able to travel with the kids since …
I wanted to call this post ‘Halloween hacks’ but as someone who didn’t grow up with this holiday, that title didn’t ring true.

Last week’s blog was all about easy and fun outdoor activities for the summer, but what happens when it rains? The activities listed below are fun and can also be done year round. I am definitely not a “cool” mom that wants to go play in the rain and I am sure I probably tell …
Since I moved to the Northeast, I realized I love summer a lot. I didn’t know that until I left Florida and discovered the brutal winters we go through in Philly and New York. It becomes even more important when you have kids because you can spend time outside instead of destroying your home and …
Summer time brings camp, outside time, and… prepping lunches. During the school year, my daughter got free lunch and my son was only in school from 9 to 12, so he ate lunch at home. Their diet involved a lot of soup with vegetables and pasta, so figuring out how to make healthy lunches for …
It is finally Spring, although if you live in the Northeast you wouldn’t know it since it is cold, gloomy, and rainy today. I just got back from a wonderful trip from sunny Florida and this weather made me a little sad. However, it is April and Spring, so time to start thinking about Spring …
