Cranberry sauce is one of those foods I thought I didn't like for years. I had only tasted the canned cranberry sauce and didn't realize how different (and tasty!) homemade cranberry sauce really is. Still, I avoided making it for years because I thought it must be difficult. Boy, was I wrong! It turns out that homemade cranberry sauce is super easy to make! And this easy orange cranberry sauce ...
How to Get a Good Night’s Sleep
When I was a kid, getting a good night's sleep was super simple. I went to bed at a decent hour, closed my eyes and slept until morning when I woke up feeling rested and alert. These days, getting my nightly rest isn't quite as simple and it seems I'm not the only one facing insomnia and frequent waking during the night. I'm so happy to be partnering with our sponsor, Tranquility, to spend some ...

The Health Benefits of Owning a Pet

The best thing any pet owner can do is absorb all the information ...

Why STEM Education Is Necessary for Elementary Students
Computers, smarts phones, and other devices have become extensions of who we are. We have become so accustomed to being connected that it would be challenging to revert to life before the technological renaissance of our era. In the United States, STEM education is focused on innovation, digital literacy, and career employment in these fields. This does not just relate to personal devices but also ...
Reduce the Waste AND Cost of School Lunch
I've been seeing those back to school pictures all over my Facebook feed these past few days. We still have a few weeks before we go back but we are definitely thinking ahead and starting to plan. One of the things I need to plan for is Josh bringing his lunch to school as he's been doing that since 6th grade. I'm thrilled to be partnering with our sponsor, PackIt, to share some ways that we will ...
Three Chicken Dipping Sauces (That Aren’t Ketchup)
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. The opinions and text are all mine. It's getting to be that season again - the school buses are making the rounds again, the leaves are turning colors, and there is a chill in the air. Yep - it's football season!! (What - you thought I was going to say fall? Yes - it's that season too). We love football here in ...

What are some things to remember when your teen is on the road this school year? Look for School Zones School zones ...
Make School Mornings Stress Free
This post was sponsored by Del Monte as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Josh is starting high school in September. I'm kind of in disbelief just typing that sentence since his first day of kindergarten seems like just yesterday. Along with new classes, new activities and new friends comes one change I am really dreading: a new start time. Our ...
Staying in Boston with a Teen : Things to Consider
Boston has long been one of my favorite US cities! I actually lived in Boston for four years during college and then in the outskirts of Boston for two years during grad school.
