Instant Pot. Two words that seem so simple, and are just that…SIMPLE! I love to cook, but with two little girls (ages 6 and 3 ½), I don’t have the luxury to chop, sauté, brown, let sit, then chop and sauté some more. I aim for easy AND healthy meals. Those are my goals when…
I’m making this list to tell you to take a vacation without your kids. I say this not to discourage you from still also vacationing with the little ones in tow because I do enjoy that too. But, I recently went away for a long weekend with my husband and it was SO SO refreshing!…
**DISCLAIMER: I originally wrote this article months ago…** So, my friend and I were discussing being moms in a new town. She was telling me how she would meet these extremely nice women. They would warmly welcome her to the town, and ask her how she was enjoying the move, so far. And then, just…
