Remember the days when our DIY Halloween costumes consisted of something super cheap from the thrift store and we just said we were random characters from a 70's tv show? Now as a parent, things are a bit different. There is so much pressure to figure out what costume everyone is going to wear. When [...]
We had an opportunity to go downtown San Diego to Balboa Park and visit the Natural History Museum. They invited us down to check out The Backyard, a brand new space specifically designed for kids up to 5 years old. Perfect for my Nuggets. Last year, I took the girls down to The Nat to [...]
It's easy for us to get into a routine on our annual summer visit back to Michigan. We do the same things we always do and rarely break out of those routines. I think it's part of visiting where you grew up. I have certain places that I want to visit (ok, well, mainly eat [...]
Amazon Prime Day is nearly here. In year's past, I've gotten some really good deals on stuff. Ya gotta put your time in and be on top of things but lucky for my bank account, we'll be on vacation. So there won't be an all day online deal stalking session. via GIPHY Have no fear...Amazon [...]

Of course you need a good bag, lots of towels and snacks....lots and lots of snacks. But this is my list of summer essentials beyond [...]
While waiting for the preschool doors to open at pickup the other day, one of the Mom's said: "I can't believe summer is only 9 weeks long." ONLY? NINE WEEKS. Ya'll, I'm starting to panic. That seems like an eternity to me. To quell my anxiety, I started to make a list and break it [...]
Peeps can be one of the more controversial aspects of Easter. People either love them or hate them. Personally, I'm on the fence. I don't mind them but they aren't my favorite. Then again, I'm not a huge candy fan to begin with (unless you are a bite size Snickers, then it's game on). One [...]

I'm starting to pull together my menu for the day but I can guarantee my favorite dessert and these raspberry sweet rolls will be included. The Easter bunny already finished it's shopping [...]
