This week was nuts. I felt like I was constantly on the go. Peyton had her school carnival, I had a concert to cover and I had over 50 payroll tax returns to do this week on top of my typical daily tasks. But I did it. I survived the chaos and I stayed on track with Nutrisystem. Remember last week when I told you that preparation is key? Well, that could not be more true this week. Every night before I went to bed I would take 15 minutes to look over my upcoming day. It really helped me focus ...

Hop Into Spring with Sweet Scented Pillow Pets
Peyton has been collecting Pillow Pets for years. When I found out I was pregnant with Peyton I had a hard time thinking of a nursery theme. I was anti-pink and did not want to do anything frilly. So, I decided to go the bug route. That's right, I decorated my newborn daughter's bedroom with bugs. At the time, Pillow Pets had a line of butterfly and ladybug Pillow Pets that were perfect. I bought every single one I could find. And I bought both the regular size Pillow Pets and the small ones. ...
Let’s Get Cooking!
I know Peyton and I have been slacking on putting up recipe posts lately, but that's all about to change! We are getting ready to get back in the groove of posting healthy, tasty, yummy family-focused recipes. But while you are waiting for those, did you know that you can sign your little one up for cooking classes at Williams Sonoma?? I had no clue, until early this morning. I was checking my emails and one of my favorite people had sent me the info. I was squealing when I saw it. But I had to ...
Fill the Air with Gingerbread
I'm going to be honest and say I am not a fan of gingerbread. I know many of you are but I just cannot get on board with it. I've tried. Just like I have no clue why pumpkin spice has a cult following. I just do not understand it! So having me try out Gingerbread coffee was probably not the best idea but I had no say in what I was sent. So here we go! Typically I'm pretty happy with Brooklyn Bean Roastery. The coffees have the caffeine level I like and I really like I can purchase Da Bomb and ...
Turn Lunch Time into Fun Time!
I make Peyton's school lunch every single day. Most of the time she wants a sandwich. Since that is an easy lunch request to fill I obliged. But I think it would be boring eating a plain old sandwich day in and day out. Last summer I started using cookie cutters to make her sandwiches fun. Cookies cutter are fine but there's a lot of wasted sandwich. Then I found sandwich cutters, they are specifically made to cut your sandwich into fun shapes without all the waste! I've used the dinosaur a ...
Let’s Bake Better This Holiday Season
With a steady stream of holiday parties from Thanksgiving all the way to the New Year, I want to make delicious desserts that are truly special to share with my family and friends.

Not only are their baking mixes and frostings completely and utterly drool-worthy—they're certified organic, non-GMO, plant-based, responsibly sourced, and contain no artificial colors or flavors. Talk about guilt-free ...
