I love a hot chocolate packet, don't get me wrong, but by mid-January I've reached my instant hot chocolate threshold. To spice things up, my kids and I tried a few warm winter drink recipes: vanilla milk, healthy hot chocolate and...
Don't let the title fool you. My post-holiday cleanse doesn't involve kale smoothies and swearing off caffeine, although both would probably do me some good. No, my cleanse involves cleaning out closets, shelves, bins, and other areas that didn't...
I've never been one to have a perfect house. In fact, more often than not my house used to be crazy.
As moms we all face the constant threat of clutter. There are always little minions going behind us, poised...

I love a good life hack. You know, taking something and using it differently than it was intended, and as a result, MAGIC! Even better, a life hack for moms, or a "mack," if you will. Here are a...
