I want to share something with you all that I made several years ago, back before I even had a blog. I’m sure most of you are familiar with the thin mattresses that come inside of Pack n Plays. After 3 children, I surely am! Right after I had my son, I kept one inside… {read more}
I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream. I hope I’ve succeeded in getting that song stuck in your head for the rest of the day. (mental note: next song to include in a blog post.. It’s a small world after all) I hope I’ve also succeeded in getting the ice cream cravings… {read more}
I like to consider myself a chocolate connoisseur. And, my children seem to be following in my footsteps. Sadly, chocolate isn’t in the same food group as broccoli and carrots. Boo. So, when I first started seeing the commercials for TruMoo on the tv, of course I was intrigued. Chocolate milk that’s nutritious? Do tell!… {read more}
Ok, I’ll admit it. Cleaning is not my favorite thing to do. I’m just not one of those people who find relaxation in cleaning.

Even though I homeschool my children, mornings can still be pretty hectic around here. There are always things that need to be done, and sometimes I find myself secretly wishing that I was born with 8 arms, like an octopus. But, I wouldn’t call myself octomom for understandable reasons. Maybe I’d be Mrs. Happy Octohomemaker……. {read more}
I love gardening. Well, not actually the work behind the gardening so much – it’s the harvesting that I really look forward to. There is nothing like fresh veggies from your own personal garden!

I shared this muffin recipe (and egg container idea) last year on Life Around Home for Earth Day, but never posted the recipe card here on the Mrs. I figured it was perfect timing to add it here as well. Not only are these banana oat mini muffins really good for you, but serving them in… {read more}
One of my all-time favorite cakes is my red velvet cheesecake. It’s so decadent & delicious. That cake is where the idea for this cake came from. I love the confetti cake mix. Maybe I shouldn’t because it’s a mix & all. But I do… I really do. Adding a layer of cheesecake to it… {read more}
I have found my new favorite brownie recipe. I found it via Pinterest – and they have stolen my heart. Speaking of Pinterest… They should officially rename that site to ‘OfficialDietRuiner.com’ or something to that effect. Seriously!
