Do you get intimidated by the thought of making a cocktail? Mixed drinks or cocktails intimidated us for a long time. We left it up to the mixologists and bartenders at restaurants to make special drinks. But now we're making cocktails like a pro. Having the correct accessories and ingredients on hand will help you…
Do you know what one of the great things about meal planning is? Other than saving time and money, you can use this system at any point in the week, to get on track with meals. For the past five weeks, we've been sick and went on two trips, so what's for dinner has varied. Guess…
Special moments - big and small, bring people together. With life being so busy and hectic, sometimes you have to carve out time for those you love, so you can create those special moments. Families can slow down and celebrate life together. One company believes the same thing - Dewey's Bakery. Dewey’s Bakery is a…
As a busy Mom, I know how difficult it can be to get a home cooked meal on the table. If you're like me, you're busy but you also take pride in fixing a nice dinner for your family. No matter who cooks dinner (Mom or Dad), a little preparation goes a long way. To…
Here we are - another week, another menu. I've been having fun sharing what we are having for dinner a few times throughout the week. If you're not aware, my husband works from home and our children participate in public online school, so our entire family is at home A LOT. Most days that means…
Red Beans & Rice Red beans and rice is super easy to make, though it takes a while, unless you use a pressure cooker. Normally, I soak my beans overnight which helps with bean digestion and reduces cook time. With all that being said, it takes me about 2 hours from the time I start…
This year has been a busy one including, deaths in my extended family, trips to visit family in Georgia and Texas, and finishing up the school year at home. What does all that mean? After a couple of trips and just everyday life, our laundry got behind. I didn't see a way out of the…

My favorite season, summer, is well underway. It's already been an adventurous summer keeping the kids busy, car trouble, and lots of outdoor activities. One thing we haven't done much of is make cocktails. This was last year's summer cocktail. But, enough is enough - it's cocktail time! I'm finally sharing a delicious, original cocktail,…
It's been a while since I've shared what my family is having for dinner or just dinner ideas in general. Summer is busy and I'll be honest. I haven't been meal planning like I normally do. As a busy Mom, I just let it go this summer. Maybe you did too! With school a few…
As a child, I remember clearly watching Disney's The Lion King and falling in love with the story. I learned the music by heart and you can never forget the characters! That's why when I heard that The Lion King was coming to theaters July 19th, I was very excited! What a great opportunity to continue…
Motherhood, where do we even start? It's awesome, hard, exciting, tiring, rewarding, and even bittersweet - all at the same time. As a woman, it's definitely one of the hardest and biggest tasks I've ever taken on. In addition to everyday responsibilities, each day comes with it's own set of challenges. How do I keep…
