Indoor Gardening Ideas

My kids and I both love gardening.  Indoor gardening. Outdoor gardening. We love it all.  Gardening is something I started doing with my kids when they were small and I'm tickled that they still love it today.  If we could be outside planting all year long we would, unfortunately, winter…

Italian BeefEats

Italian Beef

My family is not, by any means, Italian, but we do love a good Italian Beef sandwich.  Being from the Chicagoland area, and if you've ever been to Chicago, you'd know that Italian beef is a signature Chicago dish.  You can't throw a rock without hitting a restaurant or a…

Great Northern Bean Soup

One of my favorite dishes to make whenever I have a leftover hambone is Great Northern Bean Soup.  I only make ham for my family a couple times a year, but everytime that I do, I save the hambone to make this soup.  I almost look more forward to the…

Matching Holiday Pajamas for 2021

It's never too early to start thinking about your matching holiday pajamas.  I learned my lesson a few years ago when I waited until the last minute to find our seasonal pajamas. As a result, I ended up having to choose from whatever wasn't sold out.  It was slim pickings. …

Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

This is a crazy recipe for me to post because I don't like anything pumpkin - pumpkin spice, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pie, none of it.  My nose turns up to everything pumpkin except for one thing: these incredible pumpkin bars.  I know it doesn't make sense, but these pumpkin bars…

Dyslexia Loves Company

School never came easy for my kids.  On our journey to understand why school was so hard for them, the day came when we finally received a diagnosis of dyslexia. It turns out that both of my children are dyslexic.  When we got this news, I assumed that all of…

Disney Girl’s Trip

Disneyland without the kids? It just seems so wrong. At least that is what I thought - until I tried it.   It's so wrong it just might be right! I just returned from my first Disney girl's trip, and there is just one word to describe it: magical. Going to…

Grilled Pineapple

How do you like your pineapple?  Most of the time I just cut it up and eat it, or add it to a fruit salad.  My family loves pineapple, but the last few times I've bought one it's mostly gone uneaten.  Since I hate wasting food, I thought that it…
