What’s for dinner in my house during August 2021? Menu items include Burrito Bowls, Tuscan Tortellini Skillet, and Hawaiian Sloppy Joes.

Summer is still very much underway, but I’d be lying if I denied that I’m looking ahead to the fall! Though this won’t happen for a bit, I’m ready to wear a sweater, eat soup for dinner, and put my fall wreath on the door. I’ll be patient, though, because I know fall will arrive in due time. In the meanwhile, here are the tasty dinners … [Read more...] about August 2021 Dinner Menu

If eating breakfast is so important, then what should we eat for it? Here’s what experts say makes a healthy breakfast for kids and adults.

While I was perusing the grocery ads this past week, I noticed that many of the items featured were related to the upcoming back-to-school season. Most of these items were foods that go well in lunch boxes, but there were also a number of breakfast foods, namely convenience items such as frozen breakfast sandwiches and cold cereals.

3 Tips for Helping Kids Finish the Projects They’ve Started

July 13, 2021 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Many kids leave trails of half-finished projects and activities in their wake. How can we encourage them to finish the things they’ve started?

I cleaned out the cabinet where my kids store their art supplies a couple of weeks ago. In addition to things like broken crayons and “treasures” (the rocks, leaves, twigs, etc. that they find on our walks), I found dozens of half-finished coloring and activity sheets. This reminded me of the numerous times they have completed half of a jigsaw … [Read more...] about 3 Tips for Helping Kids Finish the Projects They’ve Started

These flavorful, easy-to-prepare Air Fryer Steak Bites are convenient enough for a casual weeknight dinner, but flavorful enough for a special occasion.

I tried a couple of new recipes during the month of June. Our favorite was this one. I’ve made steak bites before, but I had not previously prepared them in the air fryer. It turns out that this is a wonderful way to prepare them! In fact, it will be my default means of preparing them from now on.

Would you like something other than “good luck” to wish someone at the start of a new endeavor? Here are 16 alternative ways to wish someone success.

I’m not concerned about breaking a mirror or having a black cat cross my path because I don’t truly believe in luck. However, I noticed recently how deeply the term “luck” is ingrained in my language. When someone is about to embark on a new venture, it’s not uncommon for me to wish them good luck. Likewise, I sometimes say the following: … [Read more...] about 16 Alternatives to “Good Luck”
