Disclosure: I received free name labels in exchange for this review. All opinions are 100% my own. With the school year upon us, I found myself dragging out the permanent markers and labeling all of the kids’ things for school. Lucky for me, I found kidecals! kidecals have labels for just about everything you can […]

Kids Craft: Money Jar
August 25, 2014 By
Here’s a fun craft your kids can make all their own: A Money Jar! I have three boys, just three boys. They are typical boys who love to play video games, make disgusting noises, and use my living room furniture as their own personal gym.

August 11, 2014 By
These are my 8 Reasons You Should Be Solar Cooking in Arizona. You only need the sun for a fun outdoor cooking adventure. It’s Arizona. It’s summer. It’s hot. It’s really really hot.

The Cookie Doughjo
July 11, 2014 By
One of our “summer bucket list” activities is making cookies, but I was seriously dragging my feet on this one. Why, you ask? Because as much as I love baking, I absolutely cannot bring myself to turn on my oven when it’s so dang hot outside! My kids and I were so excited when we […]

Goat Cheese Stuffed Black Bean Burger
May 23, 2014 By
I love a good black bean burger, but quite often they are dry and hard to love. This normally leaves me to douse them in condiments in order to make it easier to swallow. The alternative is a mushy burger which just tastes like beans. I say no thanks to both and have decided to […]
