How Do I Know if I Have a Sleeping Disorder?
How Do I Know if I Have a Sleeping Disorder? Life can be so full of change and stress from a number of causes that (especially if you are a parent) just about anything can trigger sleep loss. We all know how important sleep is to our overall health and how miserable life can be when you go without it. Lots of people have trouble sleeping. But, how can you tell if your problem is just a temporary imbalance, or if you have a more serious sleep disorder? What is normal?

Inspiring New Family Holiday Traditions
This quote by the ever so wise Dr. Seuss is one of my favorites! For me, the holidays represents a time to show those we care about that we are thinking of them. And this can be done with a handwritten holiday card, a present that you thought would be just right for them or spending time together. It really isn’t about how much money you spend but more the thought that goes into letting them know you are thinking of them! Spending quality time together really is what it is all about don’t you think?! What are some family traditions in your home? We really love family movie night,…

Easy Holiday Entertaining Recipes
When it comes to holiday entertaining, I like to keep things simple. Think The Dude’s vibe from The Big Lebowski when it comes to my cooking and baking. So this holiday season when I was asked to put together a sweet and salty recipe on behalf of Betty Crocker and WinCo supermarkets all I could think was – let’s make this easy on us moms! Don’t get me wrong, I love to scroll through Pinterest and Instagram eyeing the amazing recipes the other (and very talented) moms have put together but I just don’t have that in me. I like easy! But that doesn’t mean with a little creativity you…

Marie Callender’s Comforts From Home Project Aids our Troops
There was a Marie Callender’s restaurant near my childhood home in Tustin and our family use to go quite a bit. Their homemade chili and cornbread are just amazing and I loved ordering their pot pies as well. For me, Marie Callender’s offers such comfort food. And every now and then we all need that, don’t we?! Thankfully, they started offering frozen meals using high-quality ingredients that are available at your local grocery store so you can pick up a comfort meal at any time for yourself and family. The are also famous for their pies and one of my favorites is their apple pie. Warm or cold, topped with…

Breaking Bread with Brooke Burke
With the holidays upon us hosting or attending family dinners can be so much fun or chaotic or a little of both don’t you think? One of my favorite memories is the year my mother thought it would be fun to have a food fight on Thanksgiving. Yes, we were all sitting around the table enjoying our turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole (well, at the time my mom was the only one who liked that dish), and dinner rolls when my mom picked up a handful of mashed potatoes and threw them at my dad, laughing the whole time. After a few moments of complete shock…
