Sometimes it's just too hard to come up with a meal for the kids. Sometimes it's discouraging because what they loved for the past week is now their least favorite food and are acting like you're potentially poisoning them. Just me? Just my kids? Well this is just too simple. A handful of ingredients, 5 minutes, and happy kids. For now. [...]
This post may contain affiliate links. Gardening with your kids can be frustrating and fun! It's so cute to see a three year old point out fruit and vegetables that are ripe enough to pick. He is proud of all his harvests and wants to show them off AND have you smell every flower and pepper. There's quite a few books to help explain and teach kids about gardening. So far[...]
Miscarriage. It's not something that you deal with for a day, or a week, or a time frame that I've yet to discover. If you've shared about your miscarriage, people ask how you are, talk to you, check on you, and pray for you. Until they move on.

Beautiful, soft, large enough to cover the car seat and stroller, thin enough to not smoother our child in this Louisiana heat. First, the packaging is so pretty and sturdy. I lo[...]
The Wrap by Solly Baby is amazing. I knew that I wanted to wear our baby (Hello...HANDS FREE!) but I wasn't sure about which carrier/wrap to go with. A lot of research was put into this. We live in Louisiana and it's hot, humid, and gross most of the time. Why would I want to wrap a bunch of material around me and strap a warm baby to me also? The Wrap is e[...]
