I am excited to work with Kelley Blue Book to bring you these great packing tips. Kelley Blue Book is sponsoring the giveaway kit as a part of the promotion, and I also received a kit as part of the promotion. We are a road tripping family. You kind of have to be good at…
What’s Your Lobster-Worthy Moment?
This post is sponsored by Red Lobster, but all thoughts, opinions, and #LobsterWorthy moments are my own. How do you like to celebrate your family’s happy moments….birthdays, good grades, a promotion, etc? I admit – I love celebrating even the smallest achievements with dinner at a favorite restaurant.

Layered Strawberry Jello Salad: An Old Family Recipe
There’s a funny story about this layered strawberry jello salad with banana and pineapple… When I was growing up, this strawberry jello was at every family gathering that I can remember. Christmas with the aunts, uncles, cousins, and Grandma and Grandpa? Strawberry jello. Easter dinner? Grandma brought the strawberry jello there, too. It was a…
25 Days of Christmas Books for Kids
One of my favorite traditions over the years has been spending the month of December reading Christmas books with the family. We have gathered a huge collection of Christmas stories over the years (two boxes full!). I am quick to grab any Christmas books that I see at used books stores or thrift stores (I’ve…
Make-Ahead Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes
Thanksgiving simply wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a big batch of mashed potatoes. And these mashed potatoes were the best mashed potatoes I have ever made (rivaling the best restaurant mashed potatoes, if I do say so myself). Note: affiliate links used within this post.

Sponsored Video: The Flavors of Home

Memories of the Christmases of my Childhood
One of the Christmas memories from my childhood that shines the brightest, despite the years since I’ve experienced it, is the yearly drive on Christmas Eve from my grandparents’ house in San Leandro to my home in San Jose. Every Christmas Eve, we gathered the baked goodies for our big family dinner, the wrapped…
Christmas Tree 2014 #PSF
I’d love to say that we waited to buy and decorate our Christmas tree until this past weekend because we couldn’t imagine decorating for Christmas without the whole family together. As it turned out, the fact that we bought our tree this past Saturday and decorated it that night, shortly after our college-aged daughter…
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Turns 50! #Rudolph50
I am thrilled to celebrate Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’s 50th Anniversary with this fun giveaway, sponsored by Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group. All thoughts and memories are my own. Christmas time is a season full of family traditions. From decorating the Christmas tree with mis-matched ornaments that we’ve collected over the years to baking the…
