Planning any upcoming holiday travels?  It can be such a stressful time.  But did you know that it doesn't have to be!  We've flown with our children several times now.  The first was when our oldest was just a baby.  So as we added more kids to our family, we've had to adapt travels.  Our last flight was with all five of our kids.  But it's not as scary as it sounds. Things To Pack: Pack Card Games:  Card games are plentiful.  A favorite of ours currently is Monopoly Deal.  But Read more [...]

Thank you to Canary for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions are my own.  We live in a pretty small safe town in Michigan. Some of the benefits to that are being able to leave your keys in your car, leaving your front door unlocked at times and sometimes leaving your garage door open. We have lived at the same place with the same habits for 7 years. Recently we had a bicycle, bicycle trailer and tent stolen out of our garage. We knew that with our new tipi and its contents Read more [...]

In Minnesota, there's a silly tradition where people put zucchini in their neighbors mailboxes, cars, and leave them on their doorstep because they're so plentiful towards the end of summer. We received a large zucchini from my grandparents this year, and decided to put it to good use in the most delicious bread recipe. I'll be honest, this rich bread is more like cake, but it's got a vegetable so that makes it a little healthy, right? That's what I tell myself, anyway! Double Chocolate Zucchini Read more [...]

Thanks to Primal Life Organics for sending me these products. As always, all opinions are my own. About a year ago I switched all of my oral care over to Primal Life Organics.

I keep hearing about CBD related products the last several months. At first, I thought it was because I live in Michigan where we voted about legalizing cannabis products and it passed. However, I've realized that it actually has nothing to do with Michigan or with the legalization that happened here. CBD is hemp-derived and does not contain THC, so these CBD products don't have any psychoactive elements (meaning they won't get you high). However, CBD products without THC are believed by many Read more [...]
