    5 Fall Fashion Essentials for Moms

    September 28, 2016 /

      Yay!  It’s that time again for (most) of the country to pull out their Fall sweaters, boots and coats.  Never mind that we are experiencing 100 degree days here in Southern California, I can still dream about the days we can pull out our Fall clothing.  Yes, eventually, the days will become cooler and we can join the rest of the country – though our winters are pretty mild as you know.  Trust me when I say there are many-a-day when I would love to wake up to seeing snow falling from my bedroom window. I can’t complain and won’t though I do have a little cold-weather envy… Here…

    LuLaRoe, Unicorns and Being a Consultant

    September 22, 2016 /

    How familiar are you with LuLaRoe (LLR)? I know for the past several months I’ve either heard it in conversation, seen it on my newsfeed (Facebook), or commented to a friend or stranger on their outfit to find out that it’s what they’re wearing. I had no idea that LLR had been around much longer than the seven months I’ve been aware of it. It’s a huge brand and it’s expanding and the women and their children that wear LLR have nothing but wonderful comments and statements to say about the clothing. I’m going to introduce you to one of the consultants, Cheryl Brewer of LuLaRoe Decadence with Cheryl, and introduce…

    The Importance of Stretching

    September 21, 2016 /

      Last month I wrote about the many benefits of a 30-60 minute daily walk.  It has helped me lose that extra weight gained from taking steroids (yuck) and lately I’ve been incorporated some of my favorite yoga stretches about halfway through my walk.  If you didn’t get a chance to read the post about the health benefits to walking you can read it here. Stretching every day with some easy yoga poses will help you in so many ways! It can help improve flexibility, and, consequently, range of motion in your joints. Better flexibility may improve your performance in physical activities or decrease your risk of injuries by helping your joints move…

    Spaghetti Pie Recipe

    September 19, 2016 /

    Ahhhh, pasta! I love all things with pasta and cheese. So does my daughter. My son eats nuggets. And tenders. A few other items but basically he’s going to cluck one day *lol* From lasagna (roll-up’s too) to manicotti and all the in-betweens. I make an awesome baked spaghetti too – there is a difference between spaghetti, baked spaghetti and spaghetti pie. Making any of those with my daughter takes me back to the summer’s I spent up north with my Gramps. He was a great cook and I spent hours upon hours with him in the kitchen. Now I get the same joy teaching my daughter these recipes –…

    Yummy Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

    September 19, 2016 /

    Ooey, gooey, yummy cinnamon rolls! They’re a favorite here in our house. Several years ago, I started teaching my kids to make them and before that having them help me. They love being in the kitchen and these are really easy to make – as the girl loves surprising me with them! Sometimes we change things up (for the filling) or will do a half and half alternative if we’re running low on milk or sugar. We’ve even used packaged (boxed) bread mix, only if they call for water we will use milk or half water and half milk. Hey, you do what you have to do when you want cinnamon…
