How Skimmies are Saving My Summer

June 10, 2015 By Lauren

I used to really like wearing skirts and dresses, especially in the summer. I could throw one on with a pair of flip flops and instantly feel casual, comfortable, and pretty, not to mention cool, on a hot summer day. Then I had kids. Suddenly a bunch of the things I used to wear without a second […]

70+ Spaghetti Squash Recipes

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 […]

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 […]

They’re like albino carrots. One New Food: Parsnip Recipes Last week we were successful in our attempts to feed […]
