For many years, I got questions from clients and readers asking which meal kit delivery service I recommended. I couldn't really make a solid recommendation because I didn't use any of them. So, I set out in 2020 to start reviewing […]

She has a lot of nicknames - Baby Boo-boo being the most common. I know I've got to come up with some sort of nickname for the blog (I don't call the kids by their real names on the blog, so it doesn't come up when they are googled - I do use their real […]
This juicy, tender, thin chicken breast air fryer recipe uses my popular all-purpose chicken seasoning for an easy dinner win! When I'm too lazy to tenderize my chicken (read pound the heck out of it), I buy already thinly sliced chicken breast or chicken cutlets. Then I realized this is the best Air Fryer hack […]
Christmas Eve We went to the 4 pm Christmas Eve mass which is my least favorite time to go to mass with children, aka the witching hour. But we made it through! Last year was better than this year though, last year we couldn't even get any photos the kids were so cranky and hopped […]

So, just like your big brother KK, some of your updates will be behind and combined. That's the nature of being the second and third kids! This delay was specifically because we were all so sick, especially Mommy, over your first Thanksgiving. That spot will be blank in your baby book. At least I still […]
Tis the season, friends. This week has gone by SO fast. I've had far less time to work than normal. Monday, I had to run out several times to take KJ to the pediatrician and pick up meds. Tuesday and Wednesday were short work days as my childcare had to leave early. And now, my […]
I did a 2.5-year-old update for KJ, so I wanted to do one for KK, too! This is likely the last half-year update I'll do for him. I will go to yearly after this! Feel free to skip if you don't love the family updates and are only here for the recipes. However, many of […]
Men are simultaneously the hardest and easiest family members to shop for. I always have fun putting together this list of gift ideas for "him," whether that be your spouse, brother, cousin, father, or whoever. My favorite part is when I run the list by Mr. Hungry and he vetoes half of it and I […]

Hi friends! Today, I'm updating my go-to list of preschool gifts! KJ is in his third year of preschool (he started early with a two-year-old program), so we have quite the list of home run items. These items are best for kids in the 3-5 age range. Of course, every kid is different; some may […]
