Smart Solutions for Busy Moms!
As a woman, do you even need to think about life insurance? … I used to wonder this. I thought life insurance was a big waste – and at the time, in my early 20’s, it probably wasn’t a necessity for me. I was single. I had no children. I didn’t own my own home, car, or anything else of real value. I worked hard, partied hard, and lived life like I’d live forever…. You know, the way many 20 year-olds do.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM! – Ok, this recipe doesn’t even use actual ice cream, lol. But it’s super fun, which makes sense, since it involves you Eggo waffles. And what’s more fun than Eggo’s? I know that most of us think of frozen waffles as a pretty basic meal – freeze, throw in toaster, heat, serve. But if you think out of the box a bit, you can come up with all sorts of fun ways to use Eggo waffles…. Like this healthier version of an ice cream sundae, perfect for weekend breakfast time – and it takes less than 5 minutes to make. Check it out:
Angry Birds is such a hit with kids these days, that I hate to even admit this, but…. I have NEVER played the game. At all. Ever. We own a bunch of Angry Birds “stuff” – board games, stuffed plush, video games, and tee shirts. But I’ve never even played this game that everyone seems to find so amazing. But, even though I’m clearly current trend challenged, I do know that the kids love Angry Birds, and thought that making a fun themed breakfast one morning before school would be a ton of fun.

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” – Margaret Atwood… Ah, spring. Seriously, one of my favorite times of year. I live in central Washington, where we have four VERY distinct seasons – so spring brings a wonderful break from the snowy cold of winter. And, it means it’s time to get the garden going again! Abby adores helping grandma and I plant flowers and dig in the dirt… I actually just bought her a little Garden Playhouse
“Because it’s summer, and the memories are just waiting to happen.” – Unknown… You want to hear something crazy about me? I never traveled out of my home state of Washington until I was 19 years old. And I was 23 the first time I finally boarded a plane! AND… Even though I live her near the coast, I’d never been to the beach until I visited the beautiful Oregon Coast 3 years ago while I was pregnant with Abby. I’d always yearned to travel, but never had much opportunity until about a year and a half ago… Last summer I flew to four different states, and will head to even more this year! What a change, right?
“Spring is the time of plans and projects.” – Leo Tolstoy… Boyohboy, does this totally describe my life these days! We’re in the middle of so darn many DIY projects around the house and property, it’s total chaos around here! But, at the same time – I am so excited to be celebrating spring with so many fun “refreshes” of our home and yard! But in the middle of all of the hustle and bustle, there’s one thing that has been a big challenge – the air. Yep, all three of us have terrible allergies, and the Mister has crazy-bad asthma. With so much going on – Trucks and tractors outside digging, dumping, pouring, and moving – plus the work inside – sanding, painting, moving, and building – it’s a wonder any of us can breath at all! And when you partner that with the regular allergy-inducers of spring, well, that’s a recipe for trouble, for sure. But, I have a very smart solution to share with ya’all – check it out…
