Inside Out Theme Party Food Ideas
Disclosure: This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #InsideOutEmotions #CollectiveBias At least once a week I head to the store to get necessary grocery and toiletry items, and usually I pick one of my kids to go with me. Last week it was my youngest little guy, RoRo, and the store of choice was Walmart. While we were shopping, he noticed right away that there was a display getting set up for one of our favorite family movies … [Read more...]
5 Signs You Need a Coffee Break

I don't know about you, but I'm the reigning queen of doing too much. I'll commit to a variety of projects, events and appointments without taking into consideration all of the other things I have going on. Because I'm usually overbooked and short on time, I'll put myself last and I won't take enough breaks to recharge my … [Read more...]
Two Ingredient Peppermint Bark
One of my favorite indulgences over the holiday season is peppermint bark. The sweetness combined with the mintiness of candy canes is just amazing. Last year when my BFF came to visit we made all different flavors of bark. Of course the peppermint was my favorite, and I couldn't get enough. It's also super easy to make. Seriously, it's got two ingredients. Just melt, crush, mix and pour. It's so easy that I almost didn't share this recipe with you. It felt like I was cheating! You can … [Read more...]
11 Recipe Ideas for Leftover Halloween Candy
I can't believe it's already November! We had a fun Halloween, although it was different than years past because it was seriously storming in Northern California. Rain kept a lot of the trick-or-treaters away and while we had plans to go to the harvest festival at our local church, we also planned to do a little trick-or-treating ourselves. Unfortunately because of the weather we didn't end up going, because even when it cleared up a bit all the houses had closed up shop! So I decided to share … [Read more...]
Caramel Apple SNICKERS® Monkey Bread
Disclosure: This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. As always, all opinions are mine alone. Well, here we are.. a little over halfway through August. In my house that means we're on the second week of back to school season for our older kids but it also means that football is underway. For our high schooler, football practice has been going on since June, but very soon the high school football games will be underway and for a houseful of (mostly) boys, this … [Read more...]

Today is officially the first day of summer, but it's been "summertime" for almost a month in my house. The kids have been out of school for about three weeks now, and I'm exhausted! Don't get me wrong, I love having my kids home for the summer, but between the older ones wanting to stay up late because … [Read more...]
Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth with Werther’s Sugar Free Candy!
The past few weeks I've been making an effort to make healthier eating choices. Big G and I have our birthdays coming up in just a few weeks (yes, our birthdays are just three days apart) and it's a reminder that we aren't getting any younger. We've also had our fair share of kids birthdays recently, and with that comes cake, ice cream, cupcakes and a slew of far too many sugary treats. This time of year is when I'm over it and on the lookout for new ways to eat better. My husband has an … [Read more...]
Chewy and Delicious M&M Cookies
When my older kids were younger, I remember during classroom potlucks and birthday parties I'd often find myself at the supermarket bakery for the treats for their classrooms. A lot of times I'd choose some cupcakes that went along with the theme (Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, etc), but more often than not I'd pick up cookies to go along with the cupcakes and I'd always pick up the M&M cookies.So when it came time to plan D-Man's birthday party, this was a shoo-in to go on the menu. The … [Read more...]
Candied Cookie Bars
We love making these little treats, they are a favorite around the holidays and the kids love "building" them. There's many different variations and combinations you can play with, but this is definitely our favorite mixture of flavors. These are perfect for your dessert display during the Holidays, or even to package up and give as a gift to co-workers, neighbors, or even your child's teacher! They are rich and decadent, so you want to be sure you cut them in smaller rectangles, but they are … [Read more...]
