Can you believe a mom of 4 could teach her big kids how to cook in just 2 weeks?? I love that Mary used my online cooking class for kids, all three levels, every single day for two weeks, even while the toddler was underfoot! In the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse, my kids and

I have four kids. They all have individual eating styles and food preferences. But in general I know what they like. Three out of four will eat what I serve without much complaining. Sure they have their favorites. But they eat most things. Then there is my four-year old. She doesn’t play along so nicely

My baby just turned one (sniffle, sniffle)! This is the fourth time we’ve celebrated a first birthday in our family…and it never gets easier.

Growing up I did not have any chores. It’s kind of sad since I was the kind of kid that loved to help. Even though my parents never assigned me any tasks I often vacuumed, took out the trash, made snacks for my siblings, and dusted. My parents missed a huge opportunity to teach me
Without fail, every day right around 3:00 pm my kids rush up to me asking, “What can we have for a snack?!” I’m usually trying to feed their little brother or he’s sleeping on me (which despite six months of me trying to tell them that’s not the best time to ask me for things

I’m not sure if it’s my over-tired postpartum brain, or simply the fact that as I get older I’ve stopped caring what people think – but after last month’s post about living the way God intended I’m back with another blunt post about how the way we feed our kids needs to change. Today I

Breakfast. It’s the one meal of the day that I don’t typically “cook” for my family. At least not on a weekday. Mom and Dad are up early. The kids get up a bit later. Sometimes we’re relaxed. Sometimes we’re rushed. But that doesn’t mean breakfast isn’t important to me! Quite the contrary. I know

I love dairy. In all forms. If I could choose one food group to never have to give up…it would be dairy. And yet I or someone in my family (or a combination) have been dairy free for anywhere from six months to two or more years at a time during the past seven years.
Confession time. When it comes to making dinner I’m actually NOT looking for quick hacks in the kitchen. I may be in the minority, but I actually love to cook!! I’d spend half my day in the kitchen if I could. BUT…my reality is that I don’t often have much time for it. I’m a

Although much of our nation is still stuck on the SAD (standard American diet) way of eating, there is one healthy habit that has actually caught on. Drinking water! I’m happy to see kids carrying water bottles instead of neon-colored drinks. Or worse yet, soda. One more baby step towards raising a healthier generation! Water

I grew up in the suburbs. Neighbors twenty feet away on all sides. Eating the typical standard American diet. It was all I knew. Then I got married. My husband grew up on a farm and couldn’t even fathom the idea of a vegetable out of a can. So once we bought a house we

When you are a gluten free family, you eat a lot of rice (except when you have a child allergic to rice…so glad he healed from that!). It’s easy (especially in your Instant Pot). And it goes with just about everything. I’m the boring mom that usually just cooks plain white rice (it’s much easier

Before I begin I want to state that this post does not deal with vaccine safety. It is not pro or anti vaccines. It is simply discussing vaccine efficacy and the theory of herd immunity. Vaccinating vs. not vaccinating is a very personal choice – a choice every parent should have. Vaccination is a medical

It may seem daunting at first, but after a while you learn to substitute and try new things (remember those baby steps!). Plus there
