In order for all my tasks to stay straight in my head, they have to be written on paper. With check boxes. Because otherwise my mind will never ever shut off. I will literally lie awake at night going over all the things on my to-do list… So I have this. OCD? Yes. But oh so helpful too. For the birthday party, it kept me right on track, and guess what? The hour leading up to our guests’ arrival was completely stress free. I had nothing to do because I had already done everything!… Read more >

I’ve been keeping up with weekly meal planning for almost a year now – with random weeks off due to travel/holidays/etc.. But for the most part, it’s been a very successful technique in keeping our food budget in check. I thought it would be way more expensive once we started including meat, but it hasn’t been too significant of a difference because the marginal increase in animal protein is balanced by the fact that we all eat the same thing (thus, a decrease in overall ingredients). One meal as opposed to three. At least for… Read more >

And then send me a new recipe name suggestion. 🙂 The recipe is allergy friendly, and has no nuts, eggs,… Read more >

Whether or not you have a baby with allergies, dining in public is a small adventure each and every time. But when you have to worry about how clean the tables/chairs are, or if the last diner ate something with nuts and there’s residue on the furniture, or…the list goes on and on…it’s enough to overwhelm a rookie parent! I’m not an expert by any means, but here are some of the ways I make it easier and safer for me and P. BYO wipes. I love these ones by Burt’s Bee – they… Read more >
