Dwell :: Beautify Your Home this Springtime!
This post contains sponsored content. Spring is such a wonderful time of year don’t you think? I just love hearing and seeing all the birds chirping to each other and getting their nests ready for new life. One of the ways I like to celebrate springtime is to make the shift in my home. This is the time for starting fresh and I guess there is a reason they call it “spring cleaning!” Here are some ways we can all celebrate this season of new beginnings.

What’s For Dinner? Roasted Garlic Chicken with Thyme
Yesterday, a friend told me about this great Roasted Garlic Chicken Recipe that her whole family loves and that it is really easy to make. I am always up for simple and healthy recipes that my family will actually eat. My husband is not a big meat or seafood eater (yes, makes for interesting dinners) so I have to look for recipes that he might like as well. My daughter is fairly easy to please as long as it isn’t too spicy.

Note: I received free products in order to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration. The opinions expressed here are my own. When I received the email that we were selected to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration Party it was like I was eight years old again! There is just something about all things Disney that brings out the big kid in me! We had originally planned to have the party mid-February but had to postpone due to that wonderful neck injury I had last month (post coming up on how I cut the healing time in half!). But we couldn’t have asked for better weather yesterday and…

March 14 is National Pi Day! Ways to Have Fun With Math
If you take a few minutes to do a Google search about the most popular subjects in school, you might be surprised to find that math receives an overwhelmingly popular vote. Elementary-aged students seemed to be especially fond of the subject. If you dig deeper you’ll also find it gets a lot of negative votes, and those thumbs-down seem to be ever-increasing as common core curriculum is forced into classrooms. Last year, my then-kindergartner went to the library with his class and chose a math book to bring home for the week. During his reading buddy time with a 4th grader, they generally finished their reading early. I asked him…
