This post about teaching our kids to live greener lives has been brought to you by New Leaf Energy. All opinions are mine. When I was young, I couldn’t have really cared less about the environment, sadly. I was careless with my actions and I didn’t really think about conserving water, recycling, etc. Thankfully, I finally …
We celebrated the boys’ birthdays this weekend with lots of family and fun stuff to do! The Captain turned 5 last week D will turn 3 in December, so a double birthday party is always easier on everyone, it seems. Especially since D’s bday is so close to Christmas. He doesn’t mind one bit though….lots …
Our family loves tuna fish. I always feel a bit guilty about eating it, however, because of the fact that most tuna fish is not responsibly caught and fishing for tuna harms dolphins. Skipjack tuna is also good for you, which I love because it’s easy to get the boys to eat good protein …
Pumpkin is simply awesome. It is packed with vitamins and nutrients and adaptable for all kinds of recipes, and not simply sweets! In case you missed it, I compiled a list of 30 awesome pumpkin recipes. I didn’t include this recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, however, because I hadn’t whipped them up yet. But …

Fall is here and the temperatures are dropping across the country. Here in Texas, we take advantage of those colder nights with a bowl of warm crock pot chili!

Fall is my absolute favorite season and time of the year. I love it when the first cool breeze blows in, the leaves start falling, and PUMPKINS are everywhere! While you can get pumpkin year round, Fall inspires me to eat pumpkin in every way possible! I’ve gathered some pumpkin recipes from some great bloggers …
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and as a thank you for participating. I had never really heard of anyone using apple cider vinegar until recently. Well, I take that back. My dad drizzles it on …
It’s hot (if you haven’t noticed!) Cookies and oven baked treats are yummy, but I want nothing to do with the oven this time of year. Yet, somehow, the kids are still hungry, as am I. So, I rounded up a few no bake snacks that are delicious and won’t heat up your kitchen! There are …
Do you have those awesome memories from your childhood that involve food? I have a few, but this one snack is definitely my favorite. Yes, even better than eating fresh Pizza Inn pizza in the car on the way home from a long shopping trip! My mom would make this peanut butter banana with crushed graham …
