I love to do little crafts and make treats around any holiday. Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that tends to get overlooked, so I like to be sure to celebrate it with my kids and help them understand why we celebrate Thanksgiving. Tonight we’ll be watching Peanuts, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving”, and we’ll probably…
You would have thought it was Christmas morning at my house today. I got a notification that Amazon had delivered the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book to my house, and I had my 11-year-old son go check to see if it was there. He is a big Diary of a Wimpy Kid fan….
I need to introduce you to another member of our family, our beautiful black lab, Knight. My boys named him after Batman, the Dark Knight. Well, that was after much deliberation, writing name suggestions on pieces of paper and drawing them out of a bucket. We have 2 boys, and they could not agree on…
Yesterday my kids had a Fall party for a class they are taking, so I whipped up some Gluten-free and Egg-free Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes for them when they got home. I freeze half of the batch to have them ready for another time. If I don’t put frosting on them, then we consider them muffins,…

My Mom has been making homemade hot chocolate for years. I remember playing outside in the snow with my friends and coming inside to her stirring hot chocolate on the stove, and having warm chocolate chip cookies for us. Now that I have my own children, I love to make hot chocolate for them when…
Anxiety, what an ugly word. If you have ever experienced it before, just hearing the word anxiety might stress you out. I have, unfortunately, dealt with anxiety for years. I want so badly for things to go well, that I tend to overthink things and get nervous about them. As a nurse, I was taught…
We try to do projects and fun things with our kids on the weekends. My oldest son Cole has been asking to make these chocolate truffles ever since he studied about Brazil a few weeks ago. He had gotten a Little Passports kit in the mail, and his subscription is the one with different countries….
