I love cereal and it is definitely one of my top 5 favorite foods. I tend to go for the healthier cereals and my kids love them, too. Before I had kids I was known to eat cereal for dinner several nights a week by choice. These days I usually only eat cereal for breakfast or as […]

DIY Hunger Games Shirts Update (New Backs and Color)
I had a blast making these DIY Hunger Games shirts with my friend Wendy several months back. However, the iron on details on the back of the shirt came off way too quickly and I was left with a mess that I couldn’t wear. Originally I simply pulled the lettering off but that ended up looking terrible so I knew I had to come up […]
Oscar’s Oasis: Wonderful Gem We Found on Netflix
Every once in a while we stumble upon something on Netflix that we just love. The latest find is a little show called Oscar’s Oasis. This show is hilarious and the kids are often seen rolling around on the floor laughing while watching Oscar try to survive life in the desert. The show has no dialogue and is reminiscent of the […]
The Three Words You Never Want to Hear
The three words you never want to hear are “You have cancer.” What might even be worse for some is hearing the three words “I have cancer” from someone you love.

How I Clean Naturally With Non-Toxic #HeinzVinegar
I cook with my household cleaner. Sometimes I grab it from under the sink and pour it right onto the food I am preparing.

I always keep some white vinegar in a spray bottle and it is the first thing I go for when I have a […]

If you have ever had a minor cut or scrape that got infected and left it untreated then you know what I am talking about. Without […]
Delicious Zucchini Bread
Zucchini is a seriously underrated vegetable. I have never met a zucchini that I didn’t like and although I usually eat it in a healthful dish, I simply cannot resist zucchini bread.

Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, but it is important to remember that it is not a normal […]
Forgiving My Imperfect Parents
I didn’t have the most stable and functional childhood in history, of that I am sure. But I have come to realize that is really doesn’t matter. Well, not much anyway. I know so many people who still blame their parents for how their adult lives turned out and who still hold grudges against their […]
