I’m back! Sort of…

Hi Reader, I’m back! My kids are still in full-swing summer fun mode. I’m jealous of how carefree their lives are (but also thankful that I can provide that stability for them). But I’m over here waking up from dreams about forgetting to send my kids to school on the first day and then remembering to take them but not knowing where their school is. 😅 With back-to-school prep FULLY on my mind, even subconsciously, I have a new freebie and a blog post to share with you to help lighten your mental back-to-school load! (I also had a dream that a lost little girl showed up in my backyard and asked me to adopt her and I said, “I’ll think about it but I have to go play Uno with my friends first.” And then she just followed me the rest of the day. What is that??) Summer Snack Pack With a few weeks left of kids at home and feeding them round the clock (or maybe your littles aren’t starting school yet so EVERY day means feeding them round the clock) it’s pretty easy to run out of ideas for easy but healthy snacks! To take just a little of the load off your shoulders, I created my Summer Snack Pack. It includes my top simple summer recipes and my top grab-and-go snack picks to have on hand from the store. I even broke the snack picks down into toddlers, kids, nut-free and pre-sport fuel options.

Hi Reader, Mornings are… a lot. Last week, my kids managed to spill so much milk at breakfast – multiple days in a row – that I briefly considered calling our insurance company to submit a dairy related flood claim. And while I was on my hands and knees trying to mop up dairy carnage at 7 a.m., I thought, why don't I just give them straws and let them go at it? My floors are pretty clean. (Side note: they are actually REALLY clean. I splurged on a robot mop-vac on Prime Day and it's the best...
Hi Reader, There are very few moments when I’m genuinely scared of my children…but there’s one that haunts me. It’s the after-sports hangry meltdown. They’re the dangerous combination of tired and ravenous, where they’re SO hungry that they get feral. Like I’m pretty sure I’ve been hissed at. It goes without saying that I try to avoid this at all costs because once they go to that place…it’s like climbing a mountain to bring them back. And it’s not their fault, I don’t blame them! I can’t...
Hi Reader, Last week something happened to my neighbor that reminded me of the time the police came to my house when things went wrong with my pet sitter... 🫣 And it also reminded me why we should always trust our instincts when it comes to keeping our kids (and houses) safe! I hate to be cryptic but want to protect everyone’s privacy. What I will say is this: we need to have an “out” ready for whenever we don’t feel comfortable with someone caring for our kids (or even pets). Because when...
