Have your kids seen the new animated series for kids from TeamTO called My Knight and Me? This adorable show airs weekdays at 12 p.m. (ET/PT) on Cartoon Network. This series, for children 6-10, follows the quests of three knights in shining armor -- street-smart Jimmy the Squire; daring Cat the Princess; and Jimmy's dad, the chivalrous Henri of Orange. Together, the threesome set out to brighten the Dark Ages while having fun! To celebrate this series, I thought it'd be fun to share an easy knight-inspired family craft that you can do with your kids. For this craft, all Continue reading...

September Goals
Every month, I set three monthly goals for myself. These goals are smaller things I hope to achieve or accomplish in the next few weeks. I’ve found that setting small goals each month helps me to get things done! My friend, Carrie at Curly Craft Mom, got me started on this helpful habit! The recap of my August goals are at the bottom of this post. 1 - Take Better Photos – I bought myself a beautiful Nikon DSLR camera about a year ago. The camera has helped me to take better photos for the blog. I have to admit, though, I am still taking photos in the automatic mode. (In my Continue reading...

Currently (August) — Trip to Mystic Seaport and Cape Cod
For the past few months, I've been writing a "Currently" post and linking up with my friend Carrie of Curly Crafty Mom's "Currently" post. In our Currently posts, we share fun tidbits about what's going on in our lives! For me, I can't believe that it's August already! My kids have already enjoyed two weeks of day camp together, and my husband, kids and I took a week-long vacation in Mystic, Conn., and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. My kids, husband and I LOVED Mystic! Our first night there we had a fantastic dinner at a place called Ancient Mariner. I had the most delicious scallops! On Continue reading...
Back to School Computer Command Center
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BTSwithHP #CollectiveBias Just recently, my family owned just one computer -- a laptop. The laptop was fine for a while, but now that my daughters are in the eighth grade and will soon be high school, one computer isn't enough for our family. I need a computer for my work, my husband needs access to a computer, and my daughters need a computer for their school work. So for this school year, I put together a family computer command center. I am so happy with how our new computer Continue reading...

One celebratory dinner I plan to make includes STOUFFER'S® Meat Continue reading...

Summer is all about traveling to new places and spending time with friends. So today, I am hopping over to Curly Crafty Mom, which is my blogging friend, Carrie's blog!
