We’re smack in the season of pumpkin spice, which means Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. I know, you probably don’t need reminding, considering your local Walmart and Target stores probably have Christmas decor out in September. UGH. But, the season of giving is upon us. We’re starting to think about how we…
I am not a pumpkin pie person. I’ll usually eat a small piece at Thanksgiving or maybe even Christmas buried under a ton of whipped cream because…well, I guess because it’s tradition. I have never considered myself a huge pumpkin fan, although I’m learning that canned pumpkin can be a really useful and versatile pantry…
I love a good old-fashioned movie date night. My husband, Lee, and I used to go to the movies together all the time when we were dating but since marriage, kids, and all that, we don’t have our movie dates as often as we used to. We do more movie outings as a family or…

I successfully completed the Whole 30 last month and it’s completely flipped my eating habits. While I’ve added back in small doses of dairy, legumes (seriously, life without hummus is just SAD) and occasional grains like rice, oats and corn, I’m proud to say I’ve been completely gluten free for almost two months. Sure, there…
By the time mid-October rolls around, the kids (and if you live in my house, the grownups) are getting excited about Halloween. We love Halloween but OMG the time leading up to the actual holiday is crazy town. Costumes. Parties. Candy. Crafts. If your kids are younger, trying to manage the whole “is this going…
Disney Pixar’s Coco is coming to theaters this Thanksgiving – November 22nd, to be exact. We love going to the movies on Thanksgiving. There are always so many great new releases and besides, sitting down, watching a movie while eating popcorn and candy after a full day of eating turkey and pie? That sounds about…
My family and I were privileged to go on a cruise on the Disney Wonder from Port Canaveral, Florida to Castaway Key (Disney’s private island in the Bahamas) as part of the 2017 Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. Although we are not cruise newbies, a Disney Cruise is a cruise like no other. See also…
I love my trusty minivan…I really do. I traded my coolness for automatic sliding doors and the ease of getting my two seven-year-olds loaded in and out and I’m mostly okay with that. I like the space and the fact that we’ve got a built-in DVD player that will keep my kids entertained on longer…
This post has been sponsored by Aquavert. All opinions are mine. Boy bathrooms are disgusting. My boys are seven and their bathroom has been grossing me out on a regular basis for about the past four years. I firmly believe that one day far into the future, my little dudes will actually care about perfecting…
