Easy weeknight dessert

My family and I are not big on having dessert at home but once in a while we do crave a little something sweet after dinner, at least I do. Monday night was one of those nights. I was feeling especially accomplished after planning the kids lunches and dinners for the...

Lunch and Life Lessons

If you have been following me for a while on Instagram you will know that I love to pack my kids school lunches. I’m however learning to let go and let my oldest 2 pack their own lunches as they’re in middle school. I seriously struggle with letting them do it...
