S’mores Snack Mix & DIY Paper Snack Cones

I’m sharing our S’mores Snack Mix with Goldfish® Grahams as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. All opinions are my own. #GoldfishTales

If you ask my kids, they will tell you that snack time doesn’t come often enough in our house. They are rapidly growing boys that seem to be hungry every waking moment. We will be in the middle of an activity, out on a walk, or just finishing up a project, when hunger strikes them out of nowhere like they haven’t eaten in days.

Picnic Kabob Ideas & Family Fun

We made picnic kabobs and had a fun day under the sun with Banana Boat® as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #BestSummerEver

Ever since having kids, I go into each summer saying the same thing: This is going to be the best summer ever! And each summer I mean it. I want to have a great time with my family and create the most amazing memories. Each year I have to come up with new things to do and new places to visit.

I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that this is the last week of school. I feel like Ethan just started Kindergarten a couple of weeks ago and now he is going to be a first-grader. Instead of being sad about how fast time goes by and how quickly the kids are growing up, I have spent the last two weeks getting pumped for summer.

I am a huge fan of smoothies. They are easy to change up, add variety, and I can improvise ingredients depending on what I have on hand. I can enjoy a smoothie in the morning, as a snack, or any time throughout the day.

5 Reasons to Cook with Kids + Vanilla Mini Donuts Recipe

“I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for Holstein Housewares. I received product samples to facilitate this post well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”

Cooking for a family of 5 (which includes 3 growing boys) means spending a lot of time in the kitchen. It means coming up with fun family-friendly meals and desserts for all to enjoy. It also means trying to get the food on the table in a timely fashion because the kids are always hungry and it always “takes forever” to make. One way to eliminate all this is getting the kids to help out in the kitchen.

Easy Tropical Coconut Smoothie {with Simply Tropical}

This Tropical Coconut Smoothie post is sponsored by Simply Beverages, but all opinions expressed are my own and are unbiased and based on my personal views.

Here in the wonderful Midwest, it’s been cold, snowy, and just plain dreary. I can’t express enough how much I am ready for warmer weather. I could really use a vacation to a beach, but I will settle with flip-flop weather here.
