real motherhood unraveled
New and expectant motherhood comes with a lot of interesting and often unexpected changes in life, and the relationships around you. You may find yourself much closer to a friend or relative that you hadn’t spoken with much over the last several years, or you may find that you fall away from the “girls night” [...]
Talk about a super simple treat, these were an unanticipated moment of joy for me! I can definitely see myself adding a lot more options to this recipe down the road, but for now, it served it’s purpose, to offer a yummy alternative to what I normally eat. I was skeptical, very very skeptical but [...]
I am crazy about Etsy. You have heard this from me before. If I can find it on Etsy, then that’s where I am buying it. Whatever “it” is. Why?? Because it makes sense to me to find something that is a) unique, b) supports a small business & c) made just for me! Disclosure: [...]
As I fight off a nasty cold that hit me hard the day after school got out for my boys, I haven’t had much time or energy to write or create or do anything productive. So, since I have had this little graphic made up for a few weeks now, I thought it’s as good [...]

Our first recipe of 2013 is simple, basic, yummy and nutritious. It’s a very fun twist for oatmeal, warm and comforting! Honestly I didn’t feel that it added any extra time to this morning’s breakfast prep (possibly 2 minutes for cutting the apples). This can be made with your choice of all ingredients, meaning that [...]
As many of you are aware, recently I have had to change my eating habits rather drastically. As a carb lover in general and huge fan of milk and breads, this was a rather big blow to my psychie, just saying! Thankfully, there are a lot of products on the market to help me in [...]
As promised ladies, today you’re in for Treat 3 featuring a recipe from The Looneyspoons Collection as well as another Interview segment from the authors, Janet and Greta Podleski. Once again, I’m in love with the versatility of the recipes in their cookbook and today I’m so excited to feature their Welcome Back, ‘Cotta recipe [...]
The recipe I’m featuring today was such a GREAT find I am so excited! I have been wanting to do something fun and a little different for snacks and maybe even occasionally for breakfast, so I’m eager to try this. You see, we can’t seem to keep cold cereal on hand (nope, not even the [...]
As we ring in the New Year, I’m on the lookout some yummy and surprisingly healthy food that the whole family will love! Around here breakfast has the most loved foods and waffles are at the very top of that list. So as we all start trying to get a little healthier, here’s a great [...]
Planning the food for the holiday can be fun or stressful and overwhelming. Around here, cinnamon rolls are pretty much a tradition now for Thanksgiving and Christmas morning. Yes they are a lot sweeter than what I typically serve, but when tempered by scrambled eggs, hash browns or country potatoes and applesauce or another fruit, [...]
I always love when a brand gets behind real nutrition for families! I know it seems like all major food brands should be, but alas, that often isn’t the case. Sacrificing nutrition for the sake of cutting costs and “improving” flavor (really?) is what most brands are all about. As you all know I’ve been [...]
Sometimes I stumble upon buried treasures in my email box, today was one of those days. I am on a mailing list for recipe secrets, and when I saw that they were featuring this recipe I had to share it. Admittedly it does not help that I haven’t taken the time to eat today so [...]
I recently made baked french toast for the first time. While it wasn’t a complete success, it’s definitely something I will do again (with a few changes) because it made a huge breakfast simple. Preparing it the night before, letting it sit in the baking dishes overnight and then cooking it in the morning made [...]
