Becky had her last Mock Trial practice tonight which meant I had the kids. We sat in the living room coloring, eating popcorn, and watching a movie.

I love to sew for children; fun fuzzy pillowcases, silly soft blankets, outrageous creative costumes. But mostly I like kids to feel happy and loved.

This cake is a one bowl recipe, one of the best kind, in my opinion. It is moist and slightly sweet, and especially delicious when made with your child (mess and all) and topped with a dollop of whipped cream.

There’s nothing quite like dipping your food into hot, melted, gooey goodness, especially when it is chocolate!

Want a computer you aren’t afraid to let your kids experiment on? Check out the Raspberry Pi!

It's the Lenten season and at our home, that means fish Fridays! We'll probably take-in one fish fry. Just for fun and tradition. Not necessarily for tasty fish!

Most kids I know love the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.

R.J. is having trouble staying focused and finishing tasks. R.J. like to do everything his way — and he hasn’t been successful asking questions about things he doesn’t understand.

Having a toddler who isn’t even close to being potty trained and doesn't have the talent to drink from a cup while resisting the temptation of drooling it all back out “for fun” is exhausting.

There really is no substitute for chocolate. You either love it or feign indifference (I seriously wonder about you indifferent folks).

We haven't done a crafty project for awhile so I decided to mix up some salt dough to make cut-out hearts for Valentine’s Day.

Simple is the key. The key to enjoying these feisty little men and not falling into a trap of always running and never enjoying is keeping life as simple as possible.

When someone mentions Valentine's Day, it brings to mind thoughts of romantic evenings, candle lit dinners, roses, chocolates, and being with that special someone. But how could you possibly be expected to enjoy this holiday when you are single?

Postcard swaps are fun and give kids an opportunity to write letters back and forth to one another.

Stumped on what to get your family and friends for Valentine's Day? Try making some of these great homemade gifts.

Wine glass charms are expensive to buy but cheap and easy to make. They can be personalized to fit any occasion or personality!

Valentine's Day is almost here and it's my job to get your creative juices flowing.

Bringing home a new family pet can be an exciting time, but how do you make the adjustment easy for everyone?

Dominic's interest in reading has just exploded over the past couple of months. I have discovered Dr. Seuss books at our local library that I don't ever remember reading when I was little.

Once again I have reached one of the worst milestones of parenting: POTTY TRAINING. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

If you love building with LEGOs check out the activities you can try at the same time as the astronauts in the International Space Station.

There is a lot to not love about being pregnant. And I spend a lot of time not loving those things.

Even if your kids are too young for slumber parties, these snacks can also be used for play-dates during the day.

If your dinners are starting to feel a little ho-hum, try throwing a breakfast into the mix. It might just become a family favorite!

I was raised to keep your voices low and/or whisper in the library. I have worked really hard with Dominic to get him to understand that in different places (like a library) you use a different tone or level of your voice.
