  • Homemade Hot Cocoa on the Stove Top

    November 17, 2022 /

    A hot cocoa recipe worth the effort of a three minute stove top stir, I promise! This is our go to for those cold winter days when the kids want something to do… and something sweet to eat! Whipping up a fresh batch of homemade hot cocoa is a regular request in our home, and I’m not complaining about it! Made with everything you already have in your pantry, you won’t find any fancy random ingredients required in this homemade hot cocoa. Rich. Decadent. Sweet. Delicious. Creamy. And OH SO GOOD. Hot Cocoa Nostalgia, party of two. I previously shared this homemade hot cocoa recipe on my Instagram page when…

  • Simple and Sweet: Snickerdoodle Cookies

    October 14, 2022 /

    Snickerdoodle cookies are one of my favorites to make with littles. Sweet and sugary, soft in the middle and just the right crunch! Feel free to use a hand mixer or a stand unit for this dough, these snickerdoodle cookies mix up easily with softened butter. We find pre-greasing cookie sheets works well with this recipe (even for nonstick) to insure the cookies slide right off the tray when done. Check out this simple trick for spraying your baking pans! Tips for Baking With Littles This recipe is so simple, and *actually* fun to make with the kids. They love swirling the snickerdoodle cookie balls in the cinnamon sugar coating…

  • Easy Savory Dinner Recipe: Green Bean Skillet

    July 20, 2022 /

    It’s full of rich beefy flavor, it’s melty and cheesy, and it packs a mean veggie punch! The best part is the savory + cheesy flavor helps mask the greens, meaning even our pickiest eater asks for seconds! This recipe is so simple and uses only one pan. We love using our cast iron but a regular pan / skillet would work too! Love Your Cast Iron Skillet with these 5 simple tips! The links in the post are a part of the Amazon Affiliates Program.

    Guess who’s back? Back again? Brownies back. Tell a frienddddd!!! Okayyyy. Yes. Brownies are BACK and they are BETTER than before. Simplified recipe. Still the same fudgy goodness. And SKILLET approved! Feel free to make these in your favorite 8×8 bakeware. you can double the brownie batch for a 9 x 13 dish. But my personal recommendation, turn this simplified fudgy brownie recipe into a brownie pizza by using your favorite cast iron skillet for an epically amazing brownie show down. I love this recipe because it’s a simplified version of our original brownie recipe. Easier ingredient measurements. Still the same awesome one bowl for mixing. Less dishes means more…

As a mom of four daughters, and lots of toys with As a mom of four daughters, and lots of toys with TINY pieces, I’ve found the easiest way to store these items is just to toss ‘em in a bin. Our kids seem to play regardless of how organized their toys are. 
I do agree with the sentiment “less is always more” to encourage and spark the urge to play! But when it comes to fancy organization, sorry, that’s never been our jam. 
In fact? Half the time, the toy bins are all intermixed and guess what… the kids still play! I usually only sort them back out when I’m going through a toy declutter, and I fully recognize I’m sorting and organizing primarily for MY OWN satisfaction. 
That being said, no two kids, and no two toy collections, are the same. So when it comes to setting up organization in your home, be it a play space or a bathroom cabinet, do it so it works for YOU. 
What are your thoughts?

Why share this? Because I held on to my coffee dep Why share this? Because I held on to my coffee dependency every day because I was scared of quitting. I had heard some horror stories of how bad quitting it was. And I was wimping out. 
While working with my provider, recent lab results showed how severely my body was stuck in fight or flight mode, and I knew I had to make changes for myself. Coffee was one of the first (and actually easiest) habits I needed to address. 
And while some personalities do well with tapering out a habit, others do not. Hi, I’m the others! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I knew if I didn’t quit cold turkey I probably wouldn’t be successful. 
So I swapped my coffee with other warm mugs like herbal teas and hot lemon water, and I just went for it. 
The fatigue on days one and two were present, not going to lie! But they definitely weren’t as bad as I had anticipated. The headache, now that was pretty miserable. However, overall it only really lasted about a day and a half. And looking back, was NOTHING to be scared of! 
Curious about ditching caffeine? Have you done it before? I’d love to hear your thoughts or questions! 
PS… I don’t plan to stay cold turkey forever. I actually had a small cup on day 6 and I was surprised how INSTANTLY I felt the caffeine induced anxiety kick in. I actually haven’t had a drop of caffeine since, because in this moment it just doesn’t feel worth it. 🤎

Do you try before you buy?! The amount of money Do you try before you buy?! 
The amount of money we save by shopping our home before heading out to buy something we ‘need’ … I wish I had kept a running total all these years! Received this cute little buddy as a gift, but had no small planters on hand. Welp… that’s nothing a little creative thinking, a quick shop your home moment, a few coffee mugs and some bristle blocks can’t fix! Just don’t tell my kids about the blocks part. 😂😂 
What’s one think you’ve shopped your home for recently?
