Halloween Fun: You’ve Been Boo’d
I’m gonna be honest, this year I was going to let Halloween fly by without doing all the extras. There was going to be no decorations, no Halloween fun, just trunk-or-treating and trick-or-treating.

St. Patrick’s Day Whole 30 Recipe: Cabbage Dumplings
Eating healthy/clean and St. Patrick’s Day don’t really mix, especially when you’re not willing to give up beer for the holiday. That’s when I stumbled across a recipe for Cabbage Dumplings that are Whole 30 -friendly. Cabbage dumplings sound kind of weird. “Won’t I miss the best part of the dumpling, the soft doughy outside?”…
Sharing the Love With the Littles: Kid-Friendly Crafts for Valentine’s Day
A great deal has changed in our house during the month of January. The Mister has retired after 28 and a half years in Law Enforcement and I have gone back to work after 8 years of staying home. Going back to work was not what I originally thought it would be. Instead of going…
