What Everyone Should Know: Heimlich Maneuver on Children

It’s only taken me two scares in the past week for me to buckle down and see exactly what I should do if a child is choking.  My daughter is so tiny, we often have to force her to eat.  This week we told her she couldn’t put her nightgown on until she finished her […]

Outback’s Alice Springs Chicken!

I have to give credit where it’s due.  I got this amazing recipe here from Pinterest (if you haven’t joined pinterest, do it like NOW).  My in-laws were in town this past weekend and this is a great meal to serve.  It’s easy, quick and delicious. It’s very easy!!  Here is what you need: 4 boneless […]

This Stroller = Awesome

This is it, check out the video below.  You DON’T want to miss this! Okay, I can’t believe this.  Are we living in the future?!?!?!  If I didn’t already have three and I had close to a thousand dollars to spend on a stroller, I would buy this, like NOW.  This is an awesome single […]

Reindeer Made Out of a Paper Bag — what?!?!

Okay, there is one thing in my life that I would like to be a braggard about.  That’s my gym.  It’s AH-MAZE-ING.  They’ve hired a preschool teacher to come in most mornings to do “school” stuff with them.  Here’s what Ella came home with the other day: It doesn’t take much to figure out this […]

Saturday Night Idea in December!

You don’t have to do this on a Saturday night, but it was a great relaxing way to end our busy day (and it’s free).  I was a little bummed when we couldn’t find a sitter so we could go out for my friend’s birthday, but I didn’t let that get the total best of […]

Crock Pot Beef Stew

Soups are just so delicious in the winter!  I got this recipe off food dot com.  I love this recipe because you just throw everything into the crock pot.  There is no before cooking. Here’s what you need: 2 lbs stew meat (no need to brown) 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed tomato soup 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom […]

Sweet Anna’s Consignment Finds!

I love all of my consignment finds!  I usually save 70% plus than store sale prices and everything is in great condition.  Here are my consignment finds for my baby girl. I spent $4 on this outfit for Anna.  Under her sweater she’s wearing a long sleeve onesie that was Ella’s along with her shoes […]

Make Your Own Bread Crumbs

I recently posted a crock pot Chicken Parmesan recipe.  I never buy pre-made bread crumbs for a couple of reasons.  I only eat whole wheat and I haven’t seen 100% whole wheat bread crumbs at the store and I would much rather have something more fresh.  So, I make my own and it’s SO simple. You […]

Saving Money While Being a Stay at Home Mommy!

I’ve sort of eased my way into become a full time SAHM.  I used to be a full time PE teacher.  Once I had my oldest, Ella, I started working part time (every other day).  Then, when I had Anna, I became a full time SAHM.  I say full time because it is a full […]

Slow Cooker: Chicken Parmesan

So, I have to admit my recent obsession for the slow cooker.  I have seriously fallen in love with it and there are a few reasons why.  However, I will save that for a different post.  We went over to my friends house for dinner two weeks ago and she made chicken parm in the […]
