Summer gets unbearably hot in the Arizona desert. Even swimming doesn’t beat the heat but it sure makes in a little easier to take. I grew up hearing my mom’s stories about Big Surf Waterpark in Tempe, Arizona and loved it when we got to visit the waterpark ourselves. Big Surf has changed a lot since […]
Six Classic Live Action Disney Movies Your Family Will Love

Breakfast at Home Makes Cents
We live about 30 minutes from everything. It takes us about that long to get to school, church, scouts, dance class, you name it. Add that to the fact that my daughter takes forever to get ready and my son and I really drag in the morning and it can just be easier to hit […]

How to Protect Your Child’s Eyes From Harmful UV Rays
I live in Arizona where the sun shines bright. A little too bright if you ask me. In fact, Phoenix is one of the top 10 American cities for UV danger. Most of us work hard to make sure our children are wearing sunscreen, but many of us do not require our kiddos to wear […]

Del Monte Inspired Recipes
Del Monte is a household name and one that I grew up with. Though I tend to use fresh fruits and vegetables I do buy canned and keep them on hand for conveniences’ sake. I was excited when I was contacted by Del Monte and asked to create a few recipes using their canned products. […]
