Happy Friday! Am I the only parent who feels like every day of summer vacation should be filled with some sort of activity?

Eating Organically Shouldn’t Break the Bank

January 13, 2021.Reading time 13 minutes.

I was recently having a conversation with a friend about organic versus non-organic food and, naturally, the question of cost came up.

So apparently children do not enjoy films such as The Exorcist… (LAME!) I’m only kidding! What kind of mother would let their child watch horror films? (Me.) Anyway, with that being said I have decided to put together a list of kid-friendly Halloween movies for every night in October! Some of these are actually some […]

One of “Those” Parents: Kids with Allergies

August 30, 2020.Reading time 8 minutes.

I have to be honest: I do not scare easily. I watch horror movies alone before bedtime. I go to haunted attractions where actors in bloody clown suits terrorize guests. I am not afraid to try new foods, take on challenges, fly on planes, and I have never been afraid of spiders. Despite all of […]
