Well folks -- you guessed it!  Today, June 9th, is National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day.  Don't tell me that you forgot!  I know, I know rhubarb is a take it or leave it kind of food (vegetable to be...

I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions. But one big effort I have been making these past few weeks is working hard to stop multitasking. And with good reason. How many times has this happened to you? You manage to...

Being gracious, generous Midwesterners, our Packer Backer friends tend to bring enough food to feed half of Lambeau. And so, when Victory Monday rolls around, my fridge is stacked like the Packers offensive line. What to do with all that extra food?

It’s getting colder out, so I prefer staying inside where it’s warm and cozy during the winter months. And what is one of the best ways to pass the time inside with family? Games! I loved playing board games and...

The love stories. They are everywhere. Blogs, youtube videos. The minivan gets some major love via social media. Maybe all those love stories built my expectations up too high. Letdown was inevitable. Don't get me wrong, I fully recognize the practicality of the van.  With four young kids it made total sense for us.

So, too, have dreams and designs for my own home. It still has the same layout and many of the original features from when it was built in the late 1990s. Many days, instead of vacuuming or gardening, I waste time obsessing about updating the flooring in our living room, adding a French door to the master bedroom or pouring a concrete patio in the back yard. It sounds ridiculous when put into that perspective.

If you are looking for something fun to do with your kids in the kitchen this weekend, look no further!  We whipped up this easy cookie recipe Friday night on the spur of the moment when we wanted a...

Because of seeing all the memes coming up, jokes about it and the fact that Netflix kept putting it up when I signed in, I finally jumped on the bandwagon of watching Marie Kondo. I had absolutely no idea...

  A few things to know about me are that I love a planner, I love lists, I love schedules and I love technology.  For the last decade or so, I was a dedicated paper planner girlie, but I felt stirrings...
