Inspiring Moms at Home, at Work, and in the Kitchen
Three years ago, our first child was born. In preparation for her birth, my husband and I went to an all-day birthing class. I seriously considered leaving during the part where the instructors explained what to expect in the event that you needed a c-section. That’s how sure I was that I would have a beautiful, all-natural, perfect-in-every-way childbirth….
These tiny little muffins are a life-saver for me. They are made with whole wheat and are packed with fruits and veggies. I make them in a mini-muffin tin, so they’re the perfect size for little hands. They really are delicious (I sneak a couple for snacks sometimes, too..)….
It’s no secret that parenting can be pretty effective at bringing out the paranoid side of a person. My own tendency as a mom has been to worry about just about everything. Over the last few years, I’ve really had to get a handle on it and it’s been no easy task.
I recently wrote a guest post for Stacey Ogden’s site, Creating My Happiness, called How to Handle Mom-Level Worry. It goes over 6 effective ways to cope with and conquer the habit of worrying, and I wanted to make sure you all had the link to get there!
For you moms like me that earn approximately 2000 gray hairs per day worrying about your little ones (sometimes to the point that it’s hard to enjoy the phase they’re in to the fullest), I hope the ideas in the post are useful to you.

This week, we’ve been using the grill for foods we don’t normally cook outside!
Hopefully you already read the posts for grilled Reuben sandwiches and smoky fire-roasted salsa.. so now for dessert!
If you haven’t tried grilled peaches (pineapple is my other favorite), please promise me you will before the summer is over.
They are so delicious. Here’s how I did these ones…..
This week we’re using the grill in some unconventional ways, and it’s been amazing! I get tired of grilling the usual things..chicken, burgers, steaks, etc., so we’re trying something different! It’s been so hot here lately, cooking outside has been a must.

For the first course of our “You Can Grill That??” series… my FAVORITE!
Smoky fire-roasted salsa.
It’s actually kind of crazy how easy it is to make homemade salsa, and how incredibly delicious it is. Roasting all of the veggies on the grill first adds something amazing and is totally worth the extra time….

Recently I’ve been thinking about how much parenting has changed me over the last few years. Being a mom certainly lends itself to looking inward and learning about yourself and why you do what you do, because there’s always a little person watching. We spend so much time teaching them everything we know, but I’m finding my kiddos are teaching me just as much….

A couple of years ago, we went camping as parents for the first time. It was mind-blowing how much preparation it took to spend 3 days in the outdoors with a one year old. Our truck was literally overflowing with stuff. I spent days and days prepping and trying to think of everything we needed to bring, and between the camp site, gas, food, supplies, etc, it actually ended up being pretty expensive, too!…

As any true coffee drinker in the world knows, it’s very important to get your favorite coffee drink right. Whether it’s the perfect cup of black coffee or a thoughtfully made cappuccino, we’ve all got our preferences. My go-to morning beverage of choice changes every now and then. For a long time, it was an 8 ounce cappuccino, but I’ve been on a long stretch of only small double iced lattes with extra ice. I started thinking about my favorite drinks back in my early days of coffee drinking, and my husband reminded me about my past love for white chocolate….
This is such a fun spring/summer project. Not only will your kids love to watch the progress of their new fort, by the end of the summer they’ll be able to sit in there and actually eat their veggies! The bean tepee in the photos here is the one that is currently growing in my parents garden, and our 3 year old loves it! My dad is an awesome gardener, so I’m sharing with you his tips on how-to make a bean plant tepee for yourself!…
