I spent the first seven years of parenthood in a small town where everything was at least 30 minutes away. It sometimes felt like we lived in our car. I learned very quickly to have snacks on hand when hunger pains struck. My second oldest can go from fine to starving in 60 seconds flat,…
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Chuck E. Cheese. All opinions are 100% mine. Whenever I ask my kids where they want to go for a special family outing, birthday trip, etc., their answer is always Chuck E. Cheese’s (My little guy calls it “Chunkin’ Cheese,” which is adorable!). We’ve spent his…
Happy October, friends! Do you love the changing weather? One of my most favorite things about Utah is the notable seasons and fall is my favorite. After a busy summer, fall just seems to have a way of relaxing me… just a bit. I love the changing and falling leaves… I love them all over my yard, it’s alway sad to have to rake them up!
Anyway… let’s see, what’s going on at my house…
My fourth baby just turned two months old, which means he’s babbling and smiling all over himself … especially when he manages to get his poop out! The faces that he makes when he’s working on a poop are hilarious.
THOSE faces used to stress me out with my first baby, but with my fourth I realize it’s just what babies do. And pooping is serious business for them! It’s one of a baby’s three main purposes in life, aside from eating and sleeping.
It’s coming … the dreaded cough and cold season. All those cute kids head back to school and share their not-so-cute germs with each other. It’s inevitable that someone at my house will end up sick, so I try hard to be prepared before the fevers, coughs and sore throats that appear (usually during the wee…
Happy September, everyone!! I’m pretty excited about these favorites of mine, this month. There are always some things that stick out to me as just being super awesome, as I go about my days, and these things are super awesome. I hope you love them!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Stride Rite. All opinions are 100% mine. How to make shopping for kids’ shoes easy… I don’t know about other moms out there, but I do everything possible to avoid shopping with my kids. I don’t think I’ll ever recover from the epic, triple…
School is starting up soon for my kids, so we are trying to squeeze in as much fun as possible! We’ve hiked a lot of trails as a family, but I’ve also taken my 4 kids out by myself, and sometimes we hike with friends. They love it every time! One of the ways we like to fuel up before a hike is with a smoothie. Since my kids love No-Bake Cookies so much, we came up with a no bake cookie smoothie!
Happy August! I hope you had a great July. 🙂 It was a super busy month for us. How about some favorite things, friends?!? Here’s my top 5 picks for August:
I don’t know about your kids, but mine absolutely love milk! They ask for it all the time throughout the day and I don’t mind one bit. So for our treat this week, of course, we had to incorporate milk into it some how. Bingo! Milkshakes!
We took all of our favorite ingredients and created this chocolatey hazelnut pretzel milkshake with a little hint of peanut butter, that I know your kids will love and will leave everyone savoring summer for a little while longer.
Happy July, everyone! It’s that time again where I share my top 5 favorite things of the month. It’s always so hard to narrow it down, but it definitely seems that from month to month, there are always a handful of things that stand out as absolute favorites in my life… at least, for the…
