Keeping a full schedule and overflowing ‘To-Do’ list seems to be my norm. There’s so much to keep up with daily and no matter what I have going on, I try to get an early start on the day. In turn, by the afternoon I tend to hit a midday slump.

Making treats with at least a little hint of chocolate could be a weekly event in my house. The moment the kids see the stand mixture come out or a bag of chocolates on the counter, they are right there waiting to see what we will be making. This week, we whipped up some simple Chocolate-Coconut Macaroons.

Easy Dinner Recipe – Zucchini Noodle Stir Fry with Shrimp

This Zucchini Noodle Stir Fry with Shrimp recipe is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of SeaPak. The opinions and text are all mine.

Having a sit-down family dinner is very important to me each day. It brings the family together no matter what directions we are each going on any particular day. Catching up, sitting at the same table, and enjoying delicious food is what it’s all about.

Family Breakfast & Cinnamon Twist Sticks

Weekend breakfast is a favorite meal in our house. It’s a time we can pause all the rushing around to get out the door. It’s a time that my husband is home to enjoy breakfast with the kids. These breakfast meals don’t always have to be an over-the-top, dirty-all-the-dishes type breakfast meals. We like to pop open a can of Pillsbury™ Grands! Cinnamon Rolls, laugh and enjoy family time, making the morning extra special.
