Storage Solution for Kids Art and Projects
When my children are little, I start introducing crayons and coloring.

It can be hard to decide how to store these activities and keep them from piling up on the kitchen counter. A simple storage solution for kids art helped me preserve … [Read more...]
Help Kids Keep the Bookshelf Organized-A Quick Tip
A few months ago I got extremely tired of our playroom floor looking like it was carpeted in books.

Blue Burgers with Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms PLUS Apple Balsamic Potato Salad
Ok, so the burgers aren't actually the color blue, but they do involve some blue cheese. Yum!

Clean the Bathroom in 5 Minutes!
I DREAD cleaning the bathroom. I love when it is clean, but for some reason the 'doing' requires motivation.

With children in the house, if I am going to get anything clean, my method … [Read more...]
Turkey Burgers with Vegetables Inside
Often when I set out to make dinner, I find that I am missing one or two items from the recipe list.

Moms Have Goals Too
When I say I am a stay-at-home mom, I get the feeling that people assume I have no skills. I remember sitting with some fellow military spouses before any of us had children. We were talking about our "work" experiences. Even though I and two other spouses had teaching experience, whenever I tried to add to the conversation the talking halted. I felt like I was being ushered … [Read more...]
