I’m so excited to be a guest writer for Kansas City Moms Blog today! I do a lot of fun, easy, and inexpensive crafts with my little girl Mya. One of our recent favorite projects are these perler bead...
I was originally going to call this “Veggies Kids Love” but then I thought about all of the adults I know who aren’t shall we say, as open or accepting of vegetables as they could be. Kids can claim...
Special thanks to our friends at the National Mango Board for sponsoring this learning opportunity!
Confession: I am not a foodie.
I mean, I like food but developing recipes and throwing together elaborate meals with exotic ingredients is not my forte....
Some people plan their meals a month in advance, freezing neatly-labeled packets of soup and stew. (I did this recently in anticipation of our second child’s birth.) Others wing it, shopping for that evening's meal. What works for one family...
Moms are busy. From the moment we wake up until our head hits the pillow, we are running a million different directions. We’re changing diapers, helping the 2-year-old go potty on the toilet, getting the elementary-schooler dressed and out...

I love the start of a new year. New beginnings mean clean slates, endless opportunities, and a renewed energy to make things happen. I try to take on a few self-improvement projects, implementing habits that make me feel better...
Alright ladies, tell me: Is there anything better than figuring out a new system, tip, or trick that makes your life so much easier?! I know we’ve all got them, and they are different for each family and likely...
One thing that being a being a mom has taught me, is that I have to have a plan… for everything. Gone are the carefree days where an extra trip to the store was a 10-minute affair, now including...
Let's start this post with a few disclaimers. I am not an interior decorator. Our house will never be featured in Architectural Digest. I don't even have a bed frame after five years of marriage! That aside, I'm here...
Across Kansas City moms (and dads, and grandmas and grandpas) are working hard to get dinner on the table, delicious, nutritious meals for their kids. In my work as a cooking instructor (for both adults and kids) and as...
