Have you ever heard of a Tagine? Or maybe you’re wondering how to cook with a tagine?
If you’ve used them before, then you know what I’m talking about when I say it is amazing to cook with! I’ve had mine for YEARS and it is still one of my favorites to cook with.

It is officially Summer Vacation over in our household! That of course means we need to make our summer bucket list for kids to complete before the summer is over!
We already do the 1,000 hours outside challenge and are almost done with our first year and first 1,000 hours! I would highly recommend trying it out yourself because it has been remarkably beneficial for our family in more ways than one.
After sitting down and thinking about everything I wanted to do with my kids this summer (from a parent perspective) and then asking my kids what they had hoped to do this summer we came up with a great big summer bucket list. With the goal being to have completed it all by the time their new little sister arrives at the end of summer!

Who is growing a Garden this year? Ever sit down and think about what to grow in a garden while you’re planning it out?
I absolutely love gardening. Last year we built a garden with 8 raised beds and 4 trellises and this year we expanded to add 4 more raised beds and 2 more trellises.
The DIY trellis was MUCH easier than you would think and I’ll be doing a post on that soon but today I wanted to talk about everything I’m planting in my garden.
If you didn’t know this about me already, I’m actually very interested in Homesteading and I have a whole Instagram account dedicated to it here!
I’m also ridiculously into rare types of heirloom seeds and because of that I have each kind of plant listed (for the garden nerds out there like me!). Otherwise you can see the bolded items below for my list!

Who loves it when your able to spend time playing with your child and have them be simultaneously learning as you do it? I know I do, that’s why I’m such a fan of this Easy Bird Feeder Activity to do with your kids!
Making the everyday a learning opportunity for my kids became a major Mom Goal for me. I always learned better with the hands-on approach growing up. Once my daughter was old enough it became clear this was also how she learned best. So, I try to incorporate fun hands-on learning activities into our daily lives.
Sometimes they are super simple like sorting out silverware (this helps me too because I’m getting the kids involved in cleaning). Other times It’s fun activities that take some prep-work and planning ahead of time.
This was an activity that was fun to create, but also fun to watch as birds came and visited the feeder!

It’s finally spring, which means Spring Cleaning!
If I’m being honest, I have a love hate relationship with cleaning. On one hand I love a clean house (I mean who doesn’t, right?!) but I also find if the house goes a few days off of my “schedule” I feel the overwhelm of “where do I start cleaning” set in.
Anyone else?
After both of my kids were born, I struggled with keeping a schedule to clean the house. Which resulted in an overwhelming mess for me many times. I’m all for leaving the dishes in the sink so you can play with your kids because they are only little once, don’t get me wrong, but eventually those dishes do need to get clean.
If you sat there and thought to yourself, that’s me! Then this post is for you.
First things first, here are some things to keep in mind when jumping into the overwhelm.

Hi Everyone!
I am loving this do it yourself movement that has come into the spotlight these past few years. I am obsessed with it and I was so happy when Alma, an Independent Chalk Couture designer, reached out to me. I had never heard of chalk couture before but the second I saw what it was all about I knew I had to try it! [Read more…]
