Finding The Good
Are you ready to make some super easy French Toast?! I mean, this is so easy that my kids (including my youngest) can totally make their own French toast without my help. It’s basically the easiest french toast EVER. I discovered this crazy breakfast hack oddly enough when I was making dinner–not breakfast. One night a week we have a… Read More
Hey, I know it’s hot outside. I’m dripping with sweat after just going out to get my mail. Ugh. I’m in the mood to think of cooler temperatures and the warm fuzzies of Christmas. So this week Our Picnic Tree and I have teamed up to bring you a fun Christmas in July giveaway!! If you have a Lego… Read More
We’ve been needing to reconnect with our teenagers lately. I’ve got a houseful of teens and tweens so sometimes the face wash, the drama, and the text messages in our home are just maxed out. I’ve been trying to remember why I enjoy them so much like when I wrote this post. We needed some time to just enjoy our… Read More
When we think of the beach, we always picture a calm, sunny paradise, relaxing waves, and people lounging under big beach umbrellas. The beach is awesome and I know many of you are thinking of heading there very soon! And I hope you have a glorious time. BUT THE BEACH IS DANGEROUS TOO. Today I’m sharing our scary experience with… Read More
I get it. It’s hard to find Mom a gift . . . whether it’s her birthday or Mother’s Day, I think finding the mother in our lives the perfect gift is HARD. There’s even a whole TV episode about it on my favorite show The Middle on ABC (Mother’s Day Season 1, episode 22) where the whole family forgets… Read More
Have you been to the new SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium yet? I’ve talked about it a few times HERE and HERE. It’s a totally new museum at the Layton Hills Mall in Utah. The fun part about it, is that you can touch the animals and be immersed in the experience of live birds, reptiles, and sea life. I want to… Read More
Parenting isn’t easy. It’s not enough being your kids taxi driver, 24-hour ATM and most days a sibling boxing referee; you also have to make sure you’ve developed a close, positive relationship with each of your kids. The secret to being a good parent and raising good kids in a happy home is building that positive, close connection with your… Read More

Hard Candy Cosmetics has a new limited edition line of color correcting primers and concealers. It’s actually pretty cool to see how the… Read More
“I’m sorry.” It takes a lot just to say those two little words. When you’ve wronged someone, it is so hard to admit that you hurt them and that you want to make it better. It can be a little awkward too, to break the ice and actually say what you need to. Which is why I have come up… Read More
My old spring wreath died in the garage this winter. It was all dusty and smashed thanks to some big projects that went on in there, namely the mudroom shelves that my husband built for me–and I love the shelves–but the project killed my wreath. So I had about 20 minutes max one day to throw together a new wreath… Read More
Friends, you may have already guessed by the lack of organization posts on my blog, that a perfectly organized home is not my forte. I am very organized in some areas, and horrible in others. It is something I am learning (and getting better at little by little) and I am learning that even a little organization brings us bliss… Read More
Christmas Break is here, and we could not be more excited. But sometimes my kids get bored over the break, and it’s hard to entertain them for such a long time. Well, here’s an activity that’s super fun for kids, indoors (so you’re not cold), and somewhat educational (but don’t tell your kids that.) In Layton Hills Mall in Utah,… Read More
