I don’t always meal plan a month at a time, but when I do…I save tons of time, energy, and even money. True story! It really doesn’t take much longer to meal plan for a month than it does for a week (especially if you use my super simple technique for planning a month of …
I’ve been making healthy changes in my life, and as a result, I’ve been trying to share healthier recipes with you on the blog. But I also believe there is an exception for everything, and today I bring you that exception with this copycat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup recipe. This is my mother-in-law’s recipe, and …
I’ve written about this before, but, getting healthy food into my kids is kind of an uphill battle. With one child that is brought to tears at the sight of veggies on his plate, and another that will eat them willingly unless she sees her older brother balk (which happens ALL THE TIME), getting vegetables …
I love my crock pot. We use it all the time! I’ve noticed that lots of crock pot recipes call for ingredients like canned soup, or bottled sauces…which is fine. I love those recipes! But at the same time, we’re cutting a lot of processed foods out of our diets – and whole foods crock …
I am officially on Round 2 of the 21 Day Fix Extreme. And prior to trying Extreme, I completed 3 rounds of the original 21 Day Fix. With about 14 consecutive weeks of 21 Day Fix programs under my belt, I’m definitely figuring out what works and what doesn’t work as I strive to stay …

My kids *love* going on picnics. It doesn’t even need to be anywhere special. If I tell them we’re going to eat in the backyard (or the front!), they’re just as excited as if I tell them we’re going somewhere fancy for a picnic (and by “fancy,” I mean “the park”). Picnics aren’t just for …
Hey y’all, it’s Danielle from Busy Mom’s Helper and I’m so excited to share my newest chocolate treat with you today! Everyone knows I’m a huge sucker for brownies, and love trying different things with them. Well, these Gooey Caramel Brownies are definitely a new favorite – super moist, full of flavor and satisfies that …
Both of my kids love Sofia the First. Even Jack, who is going through an anti-princess phase (it’s so serious, he’s even turned against Princess Leia), will watch Sofia the First. I *think* he might kind of have a crush on her, but don’t tell him I told the Internet that! And really, I love Sofia, …
Recently, I’ve made some really positive changes to my diet. I am eating lots of vegetables each day, which means I’m buying lots of vegetables, too…and I’m making a huge effort to make sure I actually eat them all and don’t throw any away. This means I need to make sure I store my veggies …
