California Waldorf Salad

I am so excited to participate in #15MinuteSuppers this week! Wholly Guacamole and all the Wholly products are definite favorites in my house.

Disney On Ice presents 100 Years of Magic Review

There is something to be said about Disney magic! I felt like a rock star mama tucking my boys in last night. Visions of Disney characters were skating in their heads after going to see Disney On Ice presents 100 Years of Magic. Our special night started with a quick stop at Target where I […]

Baked Eggs and Green Chiles in Avocado

This recipe is a love letter to my husband. As I was writing this post, he was requesting I make this again. It earned me major brownie points. He is a huge fan of avocados (brownie point #1). He loves breaking into a perfect soft egg and having the yolk run all over the plate […]

Queen of Maids

Quick Valentine Cookies

Get Ready for the Holidays with Arm & Hammer

I was recently asked to try a sample of Arm & Hammer Ultra Power 4X Laundry Detergent to help me get ready ready for the holidays. It seems like there is a never-ending pile of laundry in my house. I often refer to the love seat in our living room as the laundry-folding station since it […]
