Bread & biscuits are a common side dish in our house. I love making biscuits from scratch because they are truly easy to make and require just a few ingredients. Another thing I love…Red Lobster. Not that I don’t love seafood, but one of the main reasons my family used to venture to Red Lobster …
Have you watched the Minions movie yet? I know my boys can’t wait to see it. Even my husband is on board to see this one. The last 2 have been humorous enough to keep my husband and me entertained, yet still laughable for the kids. When we enjoy movies as a family, it’s …
With kids in the house, it’s hard not to keep up to date on the latest movies hitting the theaters. Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that Inside Out has hit theaters. We tried to take the boys last week, but our plans fell through, and now they are holding out …
Having an arsenal of quick dishes on hand with a new little one in the house is essential. This quick pasta & ham skillet is an essential dish in our house. Most of the cooking takes place on its own, so I can focus on tending to the baby or helping my older boys …
This year the 4th of July will be really low-key for us. I’m not up to doing a huge BBQ, so we will be doing a small 4th of July BBQ at a friend’s house. It just so happens that we will be able to see the fireworks show from our friend’s house. Glad we …

I can’t believe it’s less than 2 weeks until we get to meet our little one, and yet there’s so much to do still! I always have batches of frozen muffins in the freezer for a quick breakfast, but I have been trying to get a little ahead. Along with loaves of banana bread, pumpkin …
My goodness, it has been extremely HOT around my neck of the woods. I know I’m not the only one complaining of the heat as we have already had several days in the 90s. I know, too many, that doesn’t seem like much, but I would guess that we rarely have 10 summer days where …
Breakfast on the weekends is a big deal in our house and has become a bigger deal since both boys started school. Living on a farm, we are all together for most meals. However, it seems like during the week, breakfast is rushed so much that we tend to reach for cold cereal, instant oatmeal, …
The 4th of July is right around the corner, and our family has some basic traditions. Our local town doesn’t do fireworks, but they are done as a valley-wide thing.
