If you were to look at the apps on my phone, in addition to all the social media apps (and the requisite farming games), you’d also find quite a few preschooler apps. She thinks they’re fun, and I love that she’s learning while playing them. I’m pretty sure I didn’t know what a habitat or all the planets when I was 3; score one for technology.
ABCMouse.com has quite a few educational apps for kids available. Here are five that you might like. Continue reading »
When I was a little girl, I was beyond excited when friends of our family – Rod and Wendy – asked me to go on a weekend vacation with them. Much to my surprise, part of the weekend festivities was attending a Disney On Ice show. I still can remember sitting in my seat with my program on my lap, anxiously waiting the start of the program.
I have been wanting to take Bubbles to see one of these shows for awhile now. With as much as she loves Disney, I have no doubt that she’ll love Disney On Ice.

This apple turnover recipe post is brought to you by International Delight.
One of the great things about fall are the flavors that just seem synonymous with it. I find myself cooking with more apples, pumpkins, maple syrup, cinnamon, and more. Let’s just say that our house smells really, really good lately.

This shop and Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe has been compensated by #CollectiveBias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.
When we tailgate, I like to provide a lot of options. Appetizers, entrees, desserts, beverages – I want my family and friends to leave feeling like they couldn’t eat another thing even if they wanted to. It’s a trait I picked up from my Gram, who always said “Your plate is looking a little empty” no matter how much was left on your plate.
Over the weekend, we were planning to watch a lot of football. So of course I needed to plan a lot of food to go with it! I decided to run to Meijer to pick up everything I needed for my Buffalo Chicken Dip (always a crowd-pleaser) and my Mom’s Ice Cream Dream Squares, one of my absolute favorite desserts.
