Story Time
I’m sharing a funny story because sometimes you just have to laugh at the things kids do even if it drives you insane. My oldest hates sudden loud noises.

Banana Pumpkin Bread Recipe
Banana Pumpkin Bread I just realized neither Amelia nor I have posted this week, and I haven’t had time to formulate a post, so I’m going to share a recipe I created all on my own, and that I’m quite proud of. It’s also a recipe that I have never tried because I made it…

The Energy Balancing Act
I’ve had some personal introspection going on lately. Allow me to set the scene. When I was a mom to 3 young toddlers I was an outdoorsy playing mom. Walk to the park regularly. Check. Monthly beach trips. check. Walk to the grocery store, also check. Regular swim days, another check. Our tv broke and…
