Farm to Table Activities for Healthy Kids
Image courtesy of Flickr With the rate of diabetes and obesity skyrocketing for children across the country, it’s more important than ever to instill an understanding and appreciation for whole and natural foods in our children. The “Farm to Table” movement aims to help children and adults ditch processed, chemical-laden foods and get back to eating healthy, farm grown foods that our bodies were designed to eat and enjoy. These activities can help educate children about whole, healthy foods in a fun and interactive way.

Enjoy Some Oldies But Goodies on Netflix
These days, it seems that every Thursday our Instagram feeds are filled with baby pictures, awkward family photos and bad, bad haircuts. And we love it. So this month we’re taking a page from the #TBT trend with a trip down memory lane, compiling a list of our favorite blasts from the past. Have fun introducing your brood to your childhood faves, like Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell and Alex Keaton from Family Ties. My family use to call me Mallory from Family Ties for some reason! Ha! Guess I had my head in the clouds as a kid! I plan to try out the…

Thinking Outside the Box with a Mother’s Day DIY Party
Image courtesy of Catch My Party While no one is mistaking Mother’s Day for other holidays around this time such as St. Patrick’s or Easter, it really should be a more special day than it is. I’m not sure about anyone else, but I take all that my mom has done for me for granted. While we may tell our mother that we love her and appreciate everything she’s done for us (including giving us the chance to live!) To show your mother that you truly care, why not throw her and her friends a DIY party especially for her?! Marvelous Mommies An easy way to…

Unique Easter Egg Coloring Ideas
Easter and springtime is one of my favorite times of the year. When I was a child, we would spend hours decorating our Easter eggs in hopes that the Easter bunny would like them. One of my favorite memories – and one I still laugh about today – is the one where my younger brother and I walked down the stairs on Easter morning only to find that our standard poodle, Max, had gotten into our baskets filled with candy. The chocolate was all over the carpet and pieces of candy wrappers were strewn throughout the house. Upon seeing this my brother who was around four years old at that time…

Garden :: 10 Unique Container Gardening Ideas
Yesterday my daughter and I visited our local nursery and I was inspired to work on my back patio this spring. We don’t have a large area so the following are great ideas for small spaces. It is probably a good thing since I don’t have a ton of extra time like most moms – but I do get a lot of pleasure working in the garden and love to see when it is all cleaned up and looking good! Now if I can just get my (almost) one year old 110+ puppy to not eat the new flowers we planted! Fabric Covered Planters = Divine! Hands down…

Recipes :: Adorable Spring-Inspired Snacks and Lunches
Now is the perfect time of year for a picnic in the park with the family or if weather in your neck of the woods won’t permit that – try a picnic in your living room! My daughter loves when I make her fun lunches and I wanted to find some ideas to try out over spring break. There are so many adorable bento lunch ideas but I am not that gifted! So I found ideas via Pinterest that are doable for folk like me – something fun but won’t take all day to make. A Birdhouse: Now this is my kind of lunch! The Cookie Cutter…
