Yesterday, we went to Rebounderz as part of our Spring Break fun. We hadn’t been since last year so I thought I’d do another post detailing some of the changes since our last visit. Procedurally, they are handling crowds a bit different. You are welcome to walk-in, but they also accept online reservations. ...
It’s Friday, school is out and the kids are officially on SPRING BREAK! We will be in town so I’ve been trying to come up with a plan to keep us busy and having fun. Here’s some of what we have planned — maybe it will provide some inspiration or fun for your...
I was first introduced to the “paleo” style of eating when I participated in a nutrition challenge at my Crossfit gym last year. I ended up being one of three winners. We are getting ready to start another “Performance Nutrition Challenge” so I thought I’d share my tips for success. These tips should be helpful to anyone embarking...
Each year, I buy each of my kids a unique ornament — something commemorative from the year. These ornaments go on the “kid tree” and will someday go with my kids when they grow up and leave the nest. I enjoy the challenge each year of finding the perfect ornament for each child. I like...

In our house, this rarely happens, but when it does — I’m stuck with still delicious guacamole that looks brown and unappetizing the next day. I recently discovered a secret trick for keeping your guac looking fresh and green — ascorbic...
I was recently asked me how to get the cooking done when you have little kids underfoot. I remember well how stressful and challenging the meal prep/dinner hour can be (also known as the “witching hour”) with little ones, so I thought I would put together some lessons learned and tips. I should...
We enjoy a good kick on our food and hot sauce is a great way to add some flavor. Unfortunately, most contain icky ingredients, like soybean oil or high fructose corn syrup. Mike is partial to habanero-based sauces (many are cayenne-based), so whenever I see one with good ingredients, I buy it. Here are...
This week is Spring Break and I’ve been scrambling to come up with ideas to keep the kids occupied during our week off. Here’s a list of ideas I’ve come up with — thanks goes to my local mom’s group and Facebook friends for giving me some great ideas. I’m cheap, so most of...
