My family and I are HUGE fans of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. They have a world class collection of artifacts, and the exhibits are interactive and engaging for just about every age group. We especially enjoy their temporary special exhibits. Recently, we saw the Mythbusters exhibit where the kids got to try […]

My kids and I love smoothies. I do have to admit, it’s quite the process to get them all together for just a quick smoothie for breakfast or as a treat after dinner. I was buying some pre-made smoothies but the cost was killing my pocketbook. At roughly $3 per smoothie, they were fast becoming an expensive treat.

I found a great tip on Pinterest about freezing yogurt into ice cube trays for toddler portions. Genius! Then my mind started working… All that’s in the pricey smoothie bag is frozen yogurt and fruit. Hmmmm… Then, this morning as I was starving and trying to come up with a way to pack in a ton of fruit while still minding my Weight Watchers PointsPlus® points, this recipe was born.

Autism is all around us. In the last few years, experts said 1 in 88 kids were diagnosed. Now some say that number has climbed dramatically to 1 in 50. As you know if you read this blog, my 5 year-old son, Brady, was diagnosed at age 2 with Autism. It’s been a crazy ride […]

Brady is kind of obsessed with his “tut-els” or Twilight and Tranquil Turtles, as they are known to everyone else. He has 2 of each and has to have at least 2 on to go to sleep. We received a Twilight Carz to review and he fell in love all over again! He loves his […]

If you were a public school kid in the 80′s, you know that the only acceptable side item for a bowl of chili is a cinnamon roll. I can’t even imagine two things that make a better pair!  My daughter disagrees. She likes a particular steakhouse chain’s dinner rolls the best, and often asks if we […]

If you are like me, you scramble the night before the kid’s school parties and eventually just pick out some over priced box of Valentines from Walgreens on the way to school that morning and frantically forge your kid’s names on them. No?! Just me? Well this year I resolved to go back to my […]

One year and several months ago, I was in a pretty gnarly car wreck.  I was lucky. I walked away without any visible scratches. None of the kids were in my car. I kinda had one of those “life-flashing-in-front-of-my-eyes” moments, and everything happened in slo-mo. I was thanking God and the universe that I was […]

“Milanese” refers to a style of cooking meat cutlets by pounding them thin, dredging them in a crunchy coating, and frying. It is so much faster than fried chicken, and because the cutlets are very thin they cook quickly, which means less time to absorb oil.  You can use this technique with any boneless meats […]

There are an awful lot of opinions on food in my house. Trying to get a dinner on the table that everyone will like and is somewhat healthy, in under 30 minutes? Quite the challenge. Add the weekday chaos to the equation-kids stressing over homework, little bro trying to watch his cartoons while big sisters […]

Every time I hear of a tragedy at a school-and there are far too many, these days-I am taken back to my 10th grade history classroom on April 20th, 1999. The news about the Columbine shooting had just broken. Ms. Murphy flicked on the TV set and we watched in absolute shock and horror. This […]
