I visited my parents this week and had a blast. We hung out, hiked, swam, the kids ran around with Nerf swords well after dark…what more could you ask for? My brother’s kids came over on the weekend and my mom had the great idea of having the kids make crushed ice candles. This is […]

My daughter was very quick to choose Fettuccine Alfredo, or as it’s more commonly made in our house: Spaghetti Alfredo. The alfredo sauce wasn’t too difficult for her to make. I think you’ll love it. I […]
There are lots of great reasons why I like the idea of making my own homemade deodorant. It’s easy, frugal, and as a big bonus, I know I can smell however I like.
