{Review} Galileo Summer Camp
Planning my kids’ summer camp schedule is one of my least favorite things to do as a working mom. There are so many choices and it’s hard to know whether a camp is the right fit for your child and what to do if it’s not. Luckily we hit the jackpot with Galileo Summer Camp for our […]
Independence Building Boredom Busters
In our house there are a few “bad” words that the kids are absolutely and completely forbidden to say, like “I hate,” “I can’t,” and “I’m bored.” But that doesn’t mean they don’t ever say say it – in other creative ways – or feel that way when we don’t have scheduled activities. How do […]
{Review} Amazon Prime Now
The joke around here is that our house could double as a shipping facility with all the packages continuously coming in and going out. But after heading back to work full-time, the freedom to shop in person just isn’t a luxury I enjoy anymore, so I am completely unapologetic about my dependency on online shopping and […]

Making Glue Resist Batik T-Shirts is actually super easy, super fun, and super cheap, especially if you already have glue and painting supplies handy. This is the perfect weekend activity you can […]

A hands-on way to cement our happy memories is with […]
DIY Board Games for Kids
Hooray for vacation and stay at home days! Well, except for those days when the weather is too hot or too cold to get outside and run off all the extra energy from being cooped up. Even though we rotate toys – I hide stuffed animals in the attic and store birthday and holiday gifts in […]
Easy Homemade Play Town
Glitter, upcycling, and independent play: these are a few of my favorite things. When we received a box brimming with Glitter Glue, Painters Markers, School Glue and Glue Sticks from Elmer’s last weekend, I knew EXACTLY what we would do – get our craft on and create a homemade play town with items straight from […]

Planning for Disneyland with Preschoolers
Disneyland is truly the happiest place on Earth. I hadn’t visited the park since 1987, so I was excited to take the kids (4 and 5 years old) on their maiden voyage, but I had no idea how absolutely magical the experience would be. Watching the children’s hearts nearly explode with joy was the best part […]
Easy Kitchen Math: Counting By Tens
Keeping the kids occupied (meaning, not putting them in front of the TV and making sure they’re safe and not killing one another) while we prep dinner is sometimes challenging for us.

Your blog is amazing. I love that you’re so honest and down-to-earth. I truly appreciate the post on Pinsecurity (among others). Being a mom is a different beast these days, that’s for sure. Thank you.
I love your blog, even though I have only read a couple of posts. Your candor is refreshing! I’m looking forward to reading more about your transition back to the workforce. Happy Mothers Day!
Thanks so much, Melody! It’s been a whirlwind lately, but I’ll be posting about the transition soon…

That’s great! Glad that the recipe was helpful and hope your daughter has a fabulous first birthday
Thanks for visiting!
I like your blog- Kudos to trying to find the work-life balance- Staying home now and loving it after failing for years to find it myself! Looks like you’re licking it!
Although, I spend probably as much time blogging as if I were back at work- haven’t figured that out yet. haha.
Oh, thank you so much – glad you enjoy browsing around here
Love all your fun kids’ activities at critters and crayons!
It is difficult, isn’t it. Finding that balance right now with two small kids and working a 24/7 job feels like balancing on a tight rope without a net! We’ll see what the future holds….
You have a great blog, love it!
That’s a great compliment coming from you – love your blog! Your posts are hilarious and so dead on! Thanks for stopping by
