This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tyson. The opinions and text are all mine. The fact that my kids feel like this when back to school season comes around every August is a great testament to their schools: Yes, our kids love heading back to school because they have…

Arches National Park #PSF
I am finally home for good from my summer of traveling. I miss it. I miss being on the road and having daily adventures. I miss the chance to be with my kids – no distractions (because, let’s face it…most of the remote locations we visited did not have great cell phone coverage, and I…
What You Should Know Before Starting Invisalign #InvisalignMom
I am a member of the Invisalign Mom Advisory Board and my daughter, Necco, is currently receiving her treatment for free. When Necco started her Invisalign Teen treatment a few months ago, she had a perfect resource for information and advice: her older sister. My oldest daughter, Kim, is away at college now but…

Crispy Treat Ice Cream Sandwiches
This recipe for crispy treat ice cream sandwiches (perfect for summer evenings!) is sponsored by Target, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Last month, I shared a recipe for 15-minute grilled kabobs and mentioned that grilled foods were made for summer—and summer was made for grilled foods. But what about after-dinner desserts?…
Skillet Apple Crisp #CreativeHOP
‘Tis the season for apples and apple recipes! Apples were always my favorite fruit, but I’ve been allergic to them for the last 16 years or so (it’s a long story…something called oral allergy syndrome). Since I can’t eat many of the fresh fall fruits that I used to love, and since I can…

Slow Cooker Pepper Jack Chicken
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Crystal Farms Cheese. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s no secret that I love cheese. Especially pepper jack. I like to keep a block of pepper jack cheese in the fridge for myself. It’s a favorite mid-day snack. So when I was challenged to…
