Menu planning for frantic moms
I don’t know many moms who aren’t frantic. With carpooling, sporting events, and the busyness of daily life home cooked meals are growing extinct.
When I was first married I vowed to never cook from a box. Four kids later and 99.9% of my family’s meals come from a box, bag, or drive-thru. Many times I [...]

I had the opportunity to review Beauty Confidential by Nadine Haobsh for the Parent Bloggers Network. I was very excited to review this book since I’m a product junkie and always looking for what products will make me look my personal best.

I gave [...]

I wish back then that I had [...]
