I have no idea what to do for Sam.
I never say the right thing.

I’m not cut out for this. My house is a wreck.
We fight. The kids fight. Quarantine has been one big ginormous fight.
I’m not sure where or how I fit as my kids become adults.
Clark won’t eat anything besides macaroni and Gushers.
I try every day. And I mess up. Every day.
From the mouths of moms, these are things I have heard-and quite recently at that.
You’ve heard them too.

One of the 10,000 things I love about fall is apples. And with apples usually comes caramel apples, right? Today we have an awesome little twist on the normal caramel apple.

October: Strength Train
So…did you say no to soda last month? I sure hope so! I can’t even believe we only have 3 more months until 2014 is behind us. I hope you are feeling healthier and finding that these small changes each month are making a difference.
The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie
Look, we’ve lived all around the country. Between the four of us kids, that’s a lot of block parties, bake sales, birthday parties, and every other kind of place or event that might call for a chocolate chip cookie. After a lot of searching (and personal research-which was all kinds of fun), we found the…

Trick-or-Treating for the Food Bank
So here’s the thing. I’m 23 (24 next week!). Which means I was in Young Womens a short 6 years ago. Which also means that when I help the girls plan activities, often times the ideas I have are of activities I did myself and enjoyed not so long ago. Trick-or-Treating for the Food Bank…
How to Make a Family Cookbook
Last year, the girls and I had what we thought was a pretty rockin’ idea for mom’s Christmas gift.
