Hello friends! I wanted to quickly pass along a new favorite weeknight meal from our home to yours! Aaron refuses to eat Chinese takeout, and honestly, there are not make great options for takeout around here, to begin with...so I decided to make my own and now he is hooked! I did trick him and called it stir-fry the first time I served it, it worked and...

It's no lie that we love books in this house, I've always loved books and I wanted to create an environment where my kids also appreciate them. The options and selections today for children's books are endless! We belong to many book programs including the Barnes and Noble kids program and I'm always scouring sites looking for new options to add to our ever-growing...

Have you ever made your own broth? No? Well, then you're just like me, up until two weeks ago I had never tried it either. I always wondered what would be involved but I just never took the time to research it and then try it out. But just think about how healthy-- and convenient it would be to have this delicious stuff on hand for the cooler months. You...

I'll set the scene for you-- it's a midsummer night, the kind that's not too sticky and feels way too comfortable for it to be the middle of July. The girls and I had just finished 'putting up corn' with the rest of the farm wives at my in-laws home located at the main farm. We were all sticky from spending our day husking corn, cutting corn and bagging...

We're starting to get dangerously close to cold and flu season, especially with the temperature fluctuation recently I've noticed cold starting to be passed around. We chose every year to vaccinate the girls with the flu shot, but Aaron and I usually don't get one for ourselves. Our household manages to stay pretty healthy for the most part but I'm one...

Squash! I love it, all kinds, butternut, spaghetti, acorn, summer squash, zucchini, you name it... My kids have become pros at picking out the vegetables in their meals, you will often here Ava say "Ugh, Mom! Now I have to pick out this lettuce stuff!" to anything that is green like spinach. Unless I serve them peas, they'll eat peas like crazy and for...
