Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
As I sit here typing this and cuddling my puppy, we are on day 56 of COVID-19 shutdown. In less than a week it will have been two months since I saw the inside of my office, since my children went to school with their friends, since my husband commuted to work. Since we are “enjoying” at home school these days, my son just informed
One of our favorite things about visiting Walt Disney World is definitely the food. The park is packed with treats of all types and indulging in them as you wait in line and enjoy the sights and sounds of Disney is part of the magic. One of our favorite Disney treat is the churro. It’s a soft and crispy cinnamon-sugar pastry that is long and
I am a huge fan of simple family dinners. Quick, easy, affordable, simple family dinners that I can not ruin and my kids will actually eat. It’s not that I can’t cook, it’s that I don’t like doing it everyday. Well, I didn’t until recently.

While we’re all stuck at home social distancing thanks to Coronavirus, boredom busters for kids are truly coming in handy. The funny thing about school is that, though your kids are at it for six hours each day, a lot of their time spent there is NOT spent actively learning – they spend time moving from place to place, socializing, eating, and engaging in various
I’ve never been much of a meal planner, but I’ve always craved easy weeknight dinner ideas for the family. Busy sports schedules, volunteer duties, and work responsibilities suck up most of my at home cooking time anyway so our usual process looks like this: kids come home from school, eat super heavy dinner-like snack, go to sports, inhale whatever I pick up on the way
Stuck at home? You and everyone else. Since COVID-19 (Coronavirus) hit and nations and states around the world have begun to address this pandemic with closures and quaratines, we’ve all got an abundance of unplanned family time on our hands. As exciting as that is for some of us (raises hand!), it can also be challenging and anxiety indusing when you have also suddenly found
I’ve never been great at stockpiling food for emergencies. I feel like food waste is always more prevalent when I do so I generally have avoided the practice. Now that we are living in the time of Coronavirus, a situation that is forcing quarantines and social distancing, all of us have had to get better about food storage and stockpiling. For me, that includes finding
After experiencing a ridiculously tough weekend of choices recently, this one is for all of those parents out there in the trenches of parenting teens… Here’s what I need you to know: It’s okay to not know what to do. Everything about this is new and so much about this is scary. The “right” answers feel so much more important now than they did
Have you been talking to your kids about Coronavirus? Concerns about COVID-19, more commonly known as the Coronavirus, are sweeping the nation. The disease that has infected thousands and taken hundreds of lives in China in the past three months touched down in the United States this February and people are starting to panic. Some of those people may be your children. They will have
