Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
I’ve partnered with We Are Teachers and The Allstate Foundation to talk about the importance of social and emotional learning (SEL) for teens. This post is sponsored by The Allstate Foundation. All opinions are my own. Do you sometimes look at your teenagers and wonder if they’re going to be able to survive without you? I do. Regularly. On the bright side, I feel like
If you made it to this post it’s because you’ve probably heard some stirrings about, this 50 Shades-ish Netflix flick getting all your mom friends all worked up. The 365 Days movie is a Polish erotic film based on the Polish book of a similar name – 365 DNI. It’s the story of a Polish woman who’s abducted by the leader of a mafia-like crime
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. Without the constant crazy schedule keeping me running from work to practice to game to literally everywhere, I’ve kind of
If you’re planning to send or surprise mom with a gift this year, it’s time to get on it. The idea of “last minute shopping” in the age of Coronavirus is different and, if you want mom’s gift to arrive before May 10th, you better get shopping right now. Looking for some special ideas for mom this year? Here are a few things she’ll love
With social distancing in place across most of the United States and even around the world, many of us are anticipating a much different Easter celebration this year. While non-candy Easter basket ideas have always been top of mind for us, this year it seems even more important to give our children a memorable day that is about more than pumping them full of sugar
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.
