Basic, Never Boring
When I say AUGUST many parents immediately think of Back-To-School or the end of summer heat. But something else that they should also be thinking is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month. Depending on the state or country that you live, a comprehensive eye exam may be required before a child can enter elementary or…
Tomorrow is the first day of August, and sadly, I’m sure this is NOT the first you’ve heard about Back-to-School. But, alas, the summer will be coming to an end soon. Whether your kids start in a week or a month, all of the retailers are gearing up with their big Back-to-School sales and deals. …
This was the actual situation occurring in my kitchen when I decided to write this. While I was repetitively crunching on the dairy free snack I started to think, “Well, at least it’s compliant”. Anyone who has followed a dietary program has probably had this feeling and has told themselves, “I’m not cheating that bad”….

I know I’m with most people when I say I’ve tried meal planning and have failed multiple times. I get so caught up in the week and suddenly shopping day comes and I have to come up with meals and a shopping list in what feels like a few minutes and head to the store….

You’ve seen me post about other personal parts of my existence, from co-parenting to recent loss and grief. Recently, the compound…
What we’re obsessed with… Celebrities doing the FaceApp age challenge. Is it possible the Jonas brothers look hotter as old men? I know, I know… Russians are stealing our info. But, they’ve already got access to celebrity images so it seems harmless in this case. View this post on Instagram When you take a trip…
My #1 pet peeve (among many) is children who are not properly restrained in a moving vehicle.
