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. Celebrating Halloween with children has truly been a fun but chaotic adventure that I have been navigating as best as possible the last couple of years. I always imagine living in Buenos …
I initially was going to write a post about what type of food children could start making on their own but I think I overestimated my children’s maturity when it comes to these matters. For what it’s worth, the Internet tells me that by age 8, our children should be fully involved in packing their …
I don’t know about you but this summer flew by! In the suburbs of Philadelphia, we have about two weeks before school starts. I am both nervous and excited for my oldest as she enters first grade and for my son’s last year of pre-school. As always, I like to deal with any type of …
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 …

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 …
Call me crazy but I love a good trip to Costco. I have dabbled in Walmart and BJs over the years but I always go back to my beloved Costco. However, it can be very easy to turn a much needed trip to the store into a several hour fiasco. Have no fear! This blog …
This post was inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The last few weeks have been filled with lots of decisions to make that felt seemingly impossible and exhausting. You can probably imagine most of them were COVID-related. As the time got close to this holiday, I felt some shame while thinking about what this …
