Smooth Out Those Curls with Cool Tools

Before and After with Cool Tools Vapor Flat Iron

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!

Breafast in One Pan with MasterPan

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 ...

Nutella Banana Sushi Rolls

Nutella Banana Sushi Bento Box

I'm trying to keep things fresh, interesting, tasty and fun for Peyton when it comes to lunch time. Plus we smushed the bread on the way home. So, this week we've been doing a lot of "sushi" rolls for sandwiches. It's a great way to take smashed bread and use it. Simply take a rolling pin, roll out the piece of bread and trim the crust off. Now you have your "sushi" roll base all ready to go. Today I took a little Nutella and sliced banana to make the main dish. Just remember to slice the ...

The BFG

The BFG

Disney's The BFG opened nationwide on Friday. Peyton and I had a chance to see it and we are going to share our thoughts with you. This was a first for Peyton. Typically, we see animated movies or movies based on princesses. The BFG is based off a book by Roald Dahl and adapted to the big screen by Disney with the help of Steven Speilberg.  It's an imaginative story about a little girl, Sophie, who becomes friends with a giant, BFG. Through their friendship, Sophie learns all about Giant ...

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 ...
