It’s something that people really don’t like to think about – the “what if’s” in life. But in reality, it’s very prudent to consider “what-if’s.” Here in the US it’s National Preparedness Month (September). The government is encouraging everybody to do at least a little bit of preparation for those “what-if’s.”
Now, my husband swears that [...]

I have gotten questions about my freezer cooking for postpartum, and noticed elsewhere that freezer cooking to get ready for baby is a topic of interest.
I’ve written one post where I described how I planned out my meals and how I went about the actual day of cooking. Since then I’ve been asked about the [...]

I find myself constantly needing to learn new things. I think most mothers do. Parenting and running a household both require a lot dedication, commitment, and good management skills.

But children’s clothing can get expensive – especially when you have four children to clothe! And going green with children’s clothing? That can seem prohibitive. Have you [...]
Me, broken record that I am, have been lamenting my exhausted state here in the blog lately. I actually am exhausted and with good reason – Scott and I both are up the night a lot right now. If we’re not up helping older kids get to the bathroom or changing sheets (we’re working on [...]

I could be pretty cheesy and say there’s still time to spread some love with this special. Ok, ok, I just did because I can’t resist the opportunity to say it. After all, Valentine’s specials only roll around once a year. But really, this is a great special and I wanted to share with you.
I’m [...]

Wow, we are in the home stretch of our food challenge. And what a challenge. Hah!
We did have a point this weekend where I had to give in and allow the use of corn tortillas from the store. I had no other grains or beans ready to go, everyone was hungry, and my family is [...]
