I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for KitchenIQ. I received promotional items to thank me for my participation. What good is food if you can’t enjoy it with someone? Just like they say if a tree falls in the woods with no one around does it make a sound? Well, I say, if no one is around to enjoy a homemade baked cookie, does it… Keep Reading
After you run a half marathon and the runner’s high is long gone and the glory of the medal seems to just hang in your bedroom’s back wall, I wondered, “how am I going to keep myself in check and in shape throughout the winter?” Let’s be honest – winter is hard. There are lots of carbs to be eaten, darkness and SAD set in fast, and it’s not easy… Keep Reading
Listen, I grew up and am still a happy meat eater, but with so many awful things going into meat these days, I question how much (and just where I choose to eat it). We don’t just pop into a “unrated” Chinese restaurant and order the chicken, you know. Luckily, Max is a picky eater and doesn’t really like a lot of meats. He will eat chicken nuggets and sausage… Keep Reading
It’s football season if you haven’t noticed. Players on my fantasy team have been dropping left and right, Big Ben is injured for a few weeks, and that crisp fall air makes you want to cancel your FlyWheel spinning class and just eat carbs on the couch.

Next to the holidays, it’s the second craziest time of year: back-to-school and fall. That means football is in the air – on television, in tailgating and in our kids sports. If you don’t happen to follow my blog (you’re missing out!), it’s pretty obvious by the title that football plays a huge part in our lives. And having a son, I know it’s only a matter of time before he… Keep Reading
Ruby’s to the rescue! Or that’s how I like to think of them at least. Every. single. day. The Ice Cream Truck comes down the hill (in the photo above) playing his taunting and torturous music to all the parents in the neighborhood – letting children know to come running out and fill themselves with delicious over-sugared and over priced treats that melt before you can even get them back upstairs… Keep Reading
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Urbini. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and as a thank you for participating. Strollers. Fall is our favorite time of year to get out and explore as much as possible – the weather is cool, the scenery is spectacular, and you just seem to discover so much more. If you’ve been following along,… Keep Reading
