In my kids’ eyes, there’s not much worse than taking a big drink of milk only to find that the milk is not completely cold. Lukewarm milk is more than just an annoyance – it can be a matter of staying healthy and avoiding an upset stomach or worse – food poisoning. According to food…
Smart Summer Snacking Tips – #WonderfulSummer
Yesterday, I got back from a 1300 mile road trip. Road trips inevitably seem to go hand in hand with bad snacking…candy, chips, soda…why is it that we crave junk food when we’re stuck in the car for hours? Never mind the summer road trips…With the whole family home all summer long, our eating…
Back-to-School Survival Tips
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Bright Star Kids. The opinions and text are all mine. If you count preschool and each of my kids individually, I figured that we have survived 40 (forty!!) back-to-school seasons. That’s 40 first days of school. Back-to-school shopping times 40. Picking out first-day-of-school outfits…
How to Organize Your Fridge, Make Homemade Tater Tots, and More
About a month ago, I wrote a recap of the several articles that I had written for other sites (Spring is in the air…shoes, exercise, puzzles and more) and I realized this week that I had a new slew of posts go live since then (in full disclosure, I do get paid for writing articles…

When asked the question, “Do you feel that, on average, you are getting enough sleep?” I didn’t have to pause…

Spring is in the Air…Shoes, Exercise, Puzzles, and More
Spring is in the air and I’ve been busy this month, writing like crazy (yes, I have a life beyond this little blog!). Since I had so many articles published on other sites in April, I thought I’d post a short recap of each of my posts. PS – every time I get a new…
5 Tips for Fitting ME Time Into Your Busy Schedule
When I was a single college student, I was busy – juggling classes and homework and dating. A few years later, when I was a new mom busy with babies and dinner to cook and groceries to buy and a house to clean. Now, as a mom to older kids (and teens!) I have…
Empowering Women Together #EmpowerWomen
I never pictured myself as a business owner. I never imagined that I would feel such pride in creating a beautiful family portrait or sending in an article I’ve written for a national brand. Being a full time blogger along with running a small photography business keeps my creative juices flowing…and I love it! I…
