There is this frustrating line that I always seem to be fighting against and striving for at the same time. The line of being honest, raw, real but staying away from being whiney, ungrateful, and too negative. The opportunity to be able to move abroad with our four little kiddos is wonderful. I have a […]
Abby has been a doll lately — so well-behaved, helpful, patient and caring. I just have felt so lucky to have her as my oldest the past few weeks. So I secretly made her this poster. It reads: Hey BABY (RUTH), thank you for being my LIFESAVER. Seriously, you are a SKOR and I’d give […]
I put Abby into afternoon Kindergarten for a reason. Shae takes her longest nap in the afternoon, exactly during Abby’s school time, so now Poki (Cameron) and I can have the afternoon all to ourselves!! I get them both ready for school at the same time and they both pack up their backpacks. I put […]
I promised I would share with you the… dun dun dun…Chocolate Chip Cookie War we had while in California. My husband Tyler tells everyone he makes the best chocolate chip cookies. And HE does. They are better than any bakery cookies I have tried and better than any other cookies that have been brought to […]

I am beyond excited for my newest project to help spread the word about a Food Revolution in America. I will continue to share one recipe a week like I have been doing, but now it will be on Tuesdays and will be focusing on Raising Kids on REAL Food. This will be about REAL […]
Very simple and easy idea to spice up coloring time: Take an old poster board, flip it over and trace an over-sized “coloring page” on the page. For some reason, having it over-sized and drawn by Mommy is very exciting. Ahh, the little things that make them feel like they are really living the life. […]
A few weeks ago we started rearranging all the rooms in our house and Baby Girl’s room has been sitting…well, like this…for quite a while: Embarassing. Ok, well I am redoing it and using the song, “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley as the theme. JUST YOU WAIT, it is going to be amazing. I am […]
I officially have the winter blues. Do you? Remember this post and contest I did back in October to help us? I am re-posting it in attempts to help us fight back the winter blues. What activities do you do with your kids when you are stuck in the house during cold weather? (You know, […]
