By: Kristen Clifford I found a taco soup recipe on Pinterest. It is a weight watchers recipe. I decided to give it a try, and it was amazing! I did make a few modifications to the original recipe, but it has been a recent family favorite. The best part is that it’s super easy to … More Taco Soup
By: Sheila Gaudet I’ve often talked about my kids and their quirks in this blog. One of the things that helps my whole family function is a very structured routine. We have calendars. We have lists.

By: Martianne Stanger Focus. It is the one thing I seem to lack. Or make that one of a number of things I seem to lack. Truth be told, follow-through is pretty high on my “what I lack” list, too. Since Motherhood, and moreover, since Motherhood + Homeschooling + Paid Employment + Whatever Else Life … More Mid-Life Motherhood: Admissions of Lack of Focus and Follow-Through

By: Kris Berry I was rummaging through my pantry the other night looking for something to turn into a dinner for my family and I found a bag of potatoes that were a bit too close to turning bad to eat, and I couldn’t remember when I bought them, so I decided better safe than … More Two Fun (and Free) Activities
