I’m gearing up for Mother’s Day and nothing screams brunch more than a lazy day with my family enjoying a late breakfast, early lunch than Mother’s Day. This year I’m planning a low key day with my kids and hubbyman with a few of my favorite treats! One of those treats, is a frozen coffee [...]
You know that time period between 3pm and 5:30pm? I hate it! The second my daughter gets in the car after school she wants to know what is for after school snack! Not “Hi Mom” or anything…just “what’s for after school snack”. And my answer is usually the same…I have no clue! I was so [...]

I know it’s hard to believe, but occasionally we have little bits of smoothie leftover. Sometimes, I just make way more than I think the kids will drink and I hate to waste it with all that fruit and veggie goodness in it. So, I make little popsicles for the kids.
