The Perfect Side Dish :: Fresh Garlic, Herb and Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
We cook potatoes a couple times a week in our household. My daughter is quite obsessed with potatoes, preferring the creamy small ones, and complains that I never make enough! I texted her last night while she was at drums with a new recipe idea and her response was yes, make them, but make more than 4. That girl loves her potatoes! Luckily, Melissa’s Produce sent over three bags of their medley creamer potatoes and some fresh garlic and we made garlic, herb and Parmesan potatoes to go with our steak dinner. Potatoes are good for you! Potatoes are a great side dish for any occasion! Not…

Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Chicken Soup
One of my favorite meals anytime of the year is soup! We wanted to try out a new slow-cooker recipe and found this one on Food Network courtesy of Ree Drummond. Love her and the recipes she creates! She doesn’t like to skimp at meals and this soup is super refreshing with the lime and tomato base but also really hearty! And who doesn’t love to throw everything in the slow cooker and head out the door for the day. Super easy recipe and it tastes even better the next day. You will need: 2-3 boneless, skinless organic chicken breasts 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin…

Your Must-Have Travel Essential!
Between delayed flights, lost luggage, public tantrums and that one thing you forgot to pack, traveling with your family can get complicated, fast. In fact, 23% of parents in the US say one of their main concerns when traveling is keeping their kids entertained. With the holidays just around the corner, parents can look to offline viewing on Netflix to keep everything, and everyone, under control while on the go. From the tried-and-true shows you can rely on like Beat Bugs and Luna Petunia to calm any meltdown, to discovering new show obsessions like PJ Masks, Netflix downloads are a must-have travel essential for parents and their kids. So when it’s time to go on a trip…

Thanksgiving Books and Recipes to Share with the Kids
Image courtesy of Old Design Shop It’s almost Thanksgiving! Tis the season to be thankful! It’s always time to be thankful, of course, but I love this time of year because many people take the time to remind themselves and share with others what they are thankful for. This is a time to reconnect with my kids and discuss what we have to be thankful for. Instead of having a sit-down conversation, we share our thoughts while we’re in the kitchen baking and trying new recipes. And we read stories together. Stories that teach us about the challenges of others, the struggles of the past, and joy and…

Circus Trix OC Offers An Amazing Indoor Experience
Birthday Celebrations: This past month we hosted a belated birthday party for my daughter. When her birthday came around in July we just had so much going on we didn’t have the time to organize a birthday party for her. Mind you, we did celebrate with the family, but kids like to invite their friends to celebrate their day. I discovered Circus Trix OC from another mom blogger and took my daughter and one of her pals there over the fall break and boy did the kids loose their minds! There is SO much for them to do and I love that I can sit upstairs and see them…
