Peyton has the most beautifully curly hair. But in the summer it can get a little frizzy and crazy. And if it's humid outside....there's no hope. I just pull her hair up in a ponytail and hope for the best. But Peyton has always wanted to have straight hair. With corkscrew curls like she has that can be a challenge. Often I need to use such a hot iron it ends up frying or frizzing out her hair. It doesn't look smooth and straight. Today we are going to try the Cool Tools 1 ¼ Inch Conditioning ...

Breakfast in One Pan!
We had a long day at the zoo and when we got home the kids were hungry. Since I was in a hurry to get to the zoo before the crowds started we may have skipped breakfast. I didn't starve the kids, I just got them a snack at the zoo. So by the time we got home these guys were starving. Instead of taking out 4 different pans and starting breakfast I reached for my MasterPan and started cooking. I was able to make 2 different types of potatoes, scrambled eggs, over easy eggs and sausage all at the ...
Caramel Corn the MELT Organic Way
We are huge caramel popcorn lovers in this house. Whenever I buy a bag, Peyton eats it the instant we get home. She even hides it so she is the only one to get any! But the store bought caramel popcorn is full of preservatives, trans fat and lots of other ingredients I rather keep out of Peyton's diet. MELT Organic sent me a recipe for Caramel Corn to try out. With the holiday weekend, I thought it would be a good time to make a batch to take with us to watch the fireworks. Here's what you'll ...
Chicken and Steak Fajitas in One Pan!
Yes, you read the title right. I just finished making chicken and steak fajitas in one pan, along with fiesta corn, refried beans and the peppers! And I did it all at the same time.

If you want to make the same dish you'll need the following - 1 Red Pepper 1 Yellow Pepper 2 Chicken Breast 1 lb Steak Strips 1 can Fiesta Corn 1 can Refried Beans Olive ...
Don’t Forget the Popsicles!
The 4th of July is right around the corner. In less than 4 days families will be getting ready to celebrate our independence on a (hopefully) beautiful summer day. With all the kids we have coming over to our house I stocked up on some Popsicle treats. What better way for the kids to cool down after a day of swimming while waiting for it to get dark for fireworks?While I was at the store looking over the impressive selection of Popsicles I thought back to my childhood. We did not have nearly the ...
Music Festival Bratz are Here for the Summer
It's summer time! Music festivals are going on everywhere. Bratz sent us some wonderful new dolls from the Music Festival line. I must say they bring back memories of pre-kid life when I went to music festivals. But those days have been put on hold for a few more years while Peyton is little.The Music Festival line has taken the girls and dressed them up in festival attire. They even have a tent for the girls to sleep in while they are taking a break from the music. Peyton and I received 2 of ...
