Basic, Never Boring
Quick & Simple Summer Chicken Salad Growing up in the South my grandmother always made some kind of mayonnaise-based salad out of any leftover meat we had. For example, we all knew after Thanksgiving there would be turkey salad the next day made with relish and egg. This is my grandmother’s favorite base for chicken…
Let’s be honest. It is July. As a stay-at-home mom of three and the significant other of a farmer, I am BURNT OUT. It has taken all of my motivation to get the kids outside daily and not let the TV raise them until September. Unfortunately, on top of making sure the kids don’t just…
Tote | Pouch | Sunnies | Sunscreen | Headphones | Book | Tumbler Hello Moms! Jillian from the Jillian Rosado Blog here, back again with some Beach Bag Essentials as we’re in the midst of everything summer and hopefully you’re enjoying some of it! I’m SO guilty as a mom of making sure I have everything…
What’s better than reading a good book on the beach, at the pool, or at the lake? Just kidding! You’re a parent. You can’t do that! When you’re a parent if you find time to actually read a book… it better be worth it. Better yet, follow Jessica’s advice and listen to an audiobook! Either…
Don’t judge…or do (with age I don’t seem to care as much), but I enjoy pretty much any show that is produced by Bravo, particularly their reality tv. My husband always teases me about this. He’ll say, “You’re too smart to watch shows like that.” But, on the contrary, I think that is the exact…

Is that itsy bitsy teeny weeny polka dot bikini really the smartest thing to wear just because it’s…
Psycho. Crazy. Stupid. Lazy. The list goes on and on when we begin to point fingers at people. As adults, some of us know there might be more to one’s story then what meets the eye. Why don’t kids? Why is having ADHD or depression a secret? Why is seeking treatment for something your suffering…
It’s summertime and you and your kids will most likely spend time cooling down in a pool, lake or ocean. What if I told you that your child could drown in less than two inches of water? I know, I just ruined all the nice thoughts you had about your next trip to the beach…
Reading. It’s just one of those things we are expected to know how to do. When I was young it was more the Kindergarten teacher’s job than the parents (at least where I grew up). My mom read to us all of the time which lead us memorizing books and essentially learning to read over…
Summertime screams backyard BBQs, lightning bug catching, long evenings on the porch, sipping some summertime wine and of course FIREWORKS. (That kind of sounds like the beginning of a country song, doesn’t it?) Fireworks are always so much fun to watch around the Fourth of July, we love watching from a distance. The kid’s eyes…
