Hi again, Becky here from Bite of Delight! I’m so excited about today’s post because it’s all about one of my favorite discoveries… coconut oil! This amazing stuff has solved a lot of problems in my life, from cleaning to personal care to cooking. There are so many incredible uses for coconut oil, but today I want to talk about my top 10. These 10 best uses for coconut oil are in no particular order, because I love them all!
You’ve heard about The Honest Company, right?!? If not, then you NEED to know about this company! They offer more than 100 products, from diapers to lotion to vitamins, that do not contain unhealthy chemicals and compounds. And the best part is they ship it all directly to your home in the cutest packages ever (yes,…
Although my family aren’t too fussy when it comes to dinner time (ok, we’re all human dust-bins really), I do struggle with meat-free dishes.
If I serve up a completely vegetarian dish, I usually find everyone looking up expectantly, waiting for me to put the ‘main dish’ on the table.
I’ve had a couple of great successes (my Cheesy Veggie burgers were a real hit – no bacon required yay!), but for the most part, trying to get one or two meat-free dishes in per week simply isn’t going to happen.
Now fish – I know I can get away with. So meals like this Creamy Tomato Fettuccine with Salmon are my savior in trying to reduce the meat consumption just a little.
Hello! Susan from Love of Home here, I’m so happy to be bringing some Spring inspiration today. I have a simple DIY Spring wreath to share with you. This is an inexpensive way to freshen things up. I always try to make our home warm and welcoming. I think a wreath on the door or in the entry does that perfectly. This one was created for our mudroom. Do you need inspiration for your wreath? Try looking through a magazine, or check out Pinterest. I love to start with a simple grapevine wreath. The one I used is from the Target’s bargain aisle for only $3.00.
Happy Monday everyone, it’s Jen from PinkWhen back to share with you Tips for Getting Kids to Bed without Fits. Having four kiddos can be a little trying at bedtime. I never really have an issue with the older three, but it’s the youngest one who has had an issue with going to bed. I am going to share with you some tips that I learned that helped me save my sanity in this last year. If you have a toddler who refuses to go to bed and is constantly trying to get into your bed, then these bedtime tips are for you.
St. Patrick’s Day is this coming Tuesday. Tuesday is a school day for us, and most of you I’m sure. I love to make holiday breakfasts for my boys, but need something quick when the holiday falls on a school day. Today, I have a quick and easy green breakfast you can give your kids before you send them off to school.
So, last week on the ‘Or so she says…’ Facebook page, I mentioned that I had only been to Trader Joe’s grocery store one time. The time I went, I felt so overwhelmed by all the unique products, that I just wished someone would tell me everything that I must try. It’s a good 45 minutes from my house, so it’s not like I can go very often, so I want to get the good stuff while I have the chance!
Lucky for me, the Facebook page was swarming with ladies who are Trader Joe’s junkies. They shared hundreds of their most favorite products with me! Soon enough, they started asking for an official list of all the products that were shared, so they could remember to buy the things they hadn’t tried yet, but were suggested. I promised I would get that together.
I don’t know about you, but I am officially over winter! Spring fever is hard to catch with all this cold and snowy weather we’ve had (and I live in the south!) but I’ve started to dream of green grass, flowers, and bright and sunny days anyway.
I love adding a little extra color to our home this time of year, it gives me hope that color is soon to be on they way 🙂 Today, I wanted to share some quick ways to add color to your decor on a budget.
Hey Everyone, it’s Kimberly from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. I love Disneyland so much that I went again about month ago with my husband and 20 month old son… at eight months pregnant. I was a little nervous about how I would hold up but, honestly, it ended up being one of my favorite trips. If you’ve ever wondered about taking a Disneyland vacation while pregnant, I can confidently say you can still have a great time. With that said, I definitely have some Disneyland tips for the pregnant mom.
Ladies! I’ve mentioned before how I heart Stitch Fix. You know, that awesome company that learns your personal style, then send you 5 clothing items in the mail, picked JUST FOR YOU… it’s so fun. I’ve been signed up with Stitch Fix for well over a year, and it never gets old, getting adorable clothes in the mail every month! Their stylists have awesome taste!
Anyway, so one of my favorite companies just got even better because they are now offering MATERNITY & PETITE FIXES! Yay!
I remember as a child, when we had salad it was a combination of lettuce, tomatoes and sometimes cucumber. Nowadays salads are made up of a wide range of meats, veggies, fruits and cheeses. I love a good salad and this one is a good one!
My grand kids love it. We had it for Sunday dinner and my youngest grand son told me, “Granny that salad is popping!” He is so funny, but in all seriousness if you want something that is nutritious and a quick meal, this is your salad.
Heather here, from FamilyVolley.com, ready to talk about one of the most dreaded milestones in parenting: Toilet training! It can be hard and frustrating and stressful. Some would argue it is a nightmare. Today I offer some tips and tricks to help things go a little more smoothly for you and your little ones. The best place to start?

Here are some things that parents can do before they toilet train to help get kids ready, as well as how to know if your child is ready to be trained:
