March 9, 2018 By Lauren

Easter dessert recipes the kids will love

Below: These 12 Easter dessert recipes will be loved by kids and adults alike.  Easter is one of my favorite holidays. Since we live a few hours away from my husband’s side of the family, early in our marriage we “claimed” Easter as our holiday. That means that we host every year. We have a […]

19 Homemade Cleaners You’ll Feel Good About Using

March 29, 2016 By Lauren

These homemade cleaning products are ones that you'll feel good about using and they're easy to make.

Before I had kids, I never really thought about the types of cleaners I used, and using homemade cleaners never crossed my mind. I figured the worse it smelled and the more chemicals it had in it, the better job it did at killing all the germs. Then I had my oldest and before I […]

Irresistible Cream Puff Recipe: Betcha Can't Eat Just One

This post contains affiliate links. Almost everyone I know has a recipe they’re known for. It’s their go-to for get-togethers and, if for some reason they ask what they can bring, it’s the one that’s always requested. My sister’s go-to is her cream puffs. Every Christmas Eve she used to whip up a batch for dessert and […]

70+ Spaghetti Squash Recipes

April 10, 2015 By Lauren

Over 70 Spaghetti Squash Recipes

Lately I’ve seen a lot of people using vegetables in place of pasta. Since my kids are big pasta eaters and we want to make healthier choices whenever we can, I was intrigued, but dubious. It sounded like a good idea, but I wasn’t sure I could get away with it, even if it was […]

Easter Desserts Your Kids Can’t Screw Up

March 19, 2015 By Lauren

Easter Desserts Your Kids Can't Screw Up

I know, the title is a little harsh. I have a reason for it though! Last year, just before Easter, I wrote a post entitled Our Cookies Look Like Crap and They’re Absolutely Perfect. You should go read it, but the gist was that when you get your kids to help decorate, the results don’t always turn […]

One New Food: Roasted Red Potatoes Recipe (Sort of)

December 6, 2014 By Lauren

Roasted Red Potatoes

I’m the kind of girl who needs a recipe to follow. My hubby can just toss things in a wok and end up with delicious fried rice, but if I tried something like that it would be completely inedible. HOWEVER. The other night I made roasted red potatoes. There’s a recipe I’ve followed in the […]

One New Food: Meatloaf Recipes (and Giveaway!)

November 21, 2014 By Lauren

One New Food Enjoy Life

I know, I know, when you think about healthy changes, meatloaf probably isn’t the first food that comes to mind. One New Food for me, though, is just as much about expanding my kids palettes as it is about getting them to make healthier choices. When it comes to meat, the kids will grudgingly eat […]

One New Food Parsnips

Did you ever read Bunnicula when you were a kid? It’s about this vampire bunny who, instead of drinking blood, sucks the color out of vegetables. When I look at parsnips, that’s what comes to mind. They’re like albino carrots. One New Food: Parsnip Recipes Last week we were successful in our attempts to feed […]
