A Helvua Good New “Cookie” for the Holidays
Who doesn’t love the holidays as a kid. You look back and remember magical moments, twinkling lights and tons and tons of food. There was never a shortage of food. I still remember the food. We weren’t your “let’s sit down and eat” kind of family, it was more of a wild messy and chaotic pot luck. There were always tons of people in and out visiting all day, and… Keep Reading
Stonyfield’s #FutureLeaders Campaign Is Helping Both Kids and Animals
If you don’t realize by now that I am a huge advocate for farmers – here’s another fun post for you. We have been big fans of Stonyfield, especially their YoKids line, since Max was a baby – and continue to still pack them in school lunches.

The Powerhouse (Humane) Egg Muffins Everyone’s Raving About Right Now
September and the forthcoming fall means a reset for us back at home. We get so swept away in summer travel, bad eating habits and lax exercise schedules that back-to-school also brings a nice structured scheduled back into our lives. I may thrive in chaos, but I still love a good organized week. This also includes scheduling meals in advance and prepping those meals on Sunday – preferably during a… Keep Reading

5 Things Pre-K Taught Me To Have for Back-To-School
Back-to-school. The time of year that moms start scrambling back to reality and trying to figure out just what they need – where IS that list from the school anyways?! Even though Max will just be starting kindergarten, I’ve learned over the last couple of years in “preschool” what necessities are, or as mom’s call in – survival. Don’t go crazy and Amazon Prime so much you spend more than… Keep Reading
One Heluva Good Tribute to The Ragged Old Flag
I remember back as far as I can remember celebrating the Fourth of July. Growing up in middle America, it was always big family get-together. Everyone was off school and work, the weather was always great, we would eat hot dogs, sip sun tea, play whiffle ball and set off M-80s in the burn barrel (aka the barrel in your back yard that you used to burn your paper products). Basically… Keep Reading
Drink a Cow, Save a Penguin
Being that Pittsburgh’s Stanley Cup winning hockey team is named after this cute water bird (or is it mammal?), we’ve always been big fans of penguins. Frankly who isn’t?

Stonyfield YoKids is sponsoring the AZA SAFE (Saving Animals from Extinction)… Keep Reading
