Why Don’t We Help Ourselves?

May 30, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Many of us are a bit apathetic when it comes to helping ourselves. Why is this? Here are five things that hold us back.

A couple of weeks ago, my middle daughter (who is nearly three years old) was curled up in a ball on the kitchen floor complaining that she was cold. I felt her to make sure she didn’t have a fever. She didn’t, so I’m pretty sure she felt cold because the air conditioning had just kicked on and she was directly beneath a vent. She was also on … [Read more...] about Why Don’t We Help Ourselves?

Bakeware organizers and pot racks can store chunky puzzles and peg puzzles! Here’s how to use these simple tools to organize your kids’ puzzles.

A couple of months ago I shared some ideas I’d come across online for organizing kids’ puzzles. I was trying to find a storage solution for the puzzles we keep on a couple of shelves in our living room. There are several great ideas in that post, but we’ve ended up using kitchenware organizers to store our puzzles.

5 Ways a Tub of Ready-to-Eat Snacks Benefits My Family

February 18, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Thanks to a tub of ready-to-eat snacks, snack time in my house is no longer chaotic and my kids are learning several lessons. Here’s how.

Snack time used to be one of my least favorite times of day. Sometimes my kids would sit down at the table and make requests (this was often for snacks I didn’t have on hand and, of course, each child would want something different). Other times I would offer one item (or let them choose between two items) and they would grumble because they … [Read more...] about 5 Ways a Tub of Ready-to-Eat Snacks Benefits My Family

Storage Solutions for Kids’ Puzzles

February 7, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Kids’ puzzles are difficult to store. They’re hard to access when stacked and pieces can end up all over. Here are some ideas for effective storage.

We have about 20 kids’ puzzles stacked on a bookshelf in our living room. They all fit there, but they’re a bit of an eyesore and it is difficult to access the one our kids ask for because inevitably that particular one is at the bottom of the stack! As you can see, we need to find a better way to store these puzzles. This is … [Read more...] about Storage Solutions for Kids’ Puzzles

Keep Short Lists

January 3, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Life is fragile and brief. Let’s pare down our lists so we’re able to focus on the things that are truly important.

I don’t typically think about my mortality on a daily basis. However, throughout this past year, my husband and I have been reminded of the fragility and brevity of life on numerous occasions. Early in the year, we had a young cousin nearly die in a car accident. In the fall, I experienced two rare and serious complications while having … [Read more...] about Keep Short Lists

Whether you’ve just given birth to your first child or your sixth one, the newborn period is challenging.

It often takes more time to prepare real food than processed varieties. However, it doesn’t have to take all day! Here are some time-saving tips.

I do my best to feed nutritious meals to my family. It’s been really tough during this season, though. I’m in the third trimester of pregnancy and I’m caring for my 3-year-old and 2-year-old.

By the time evening arrives, I’m tempted to feed them any old convenience food in order to avoid being on my feet and working over a hot … [Read more...] about How to Cook Real Food Without Spending All Day in the Kitchen
