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…

The Peanuts Movie Brings Back Memories
Ever since I’ve seen a preview for The Peanuts movie at a Knott’s Berry Farm event last year, I have been on the edge of my seat waiting to see this movie.

Plus my daughter loves their roller coasters! If you…

Exploring the Outdoors with Your Kids
Raising Happy and Healthy Kids: What is the best way to keep our kids happy and healthy? Take them outside. Now do not get me wrong, this is not going to be some post about how our kids should never play video games (my daughter loves Minecraft) but we should not live in a society where it is considered a punishment for your kid if you take away the electronic devices and make them go outside to play. Keep it Simple: A lot of times as parents we overthink things. What kind of craft should we do? What kind of game should we play? I need to set up…
