As my kids have gotten just a bit older, I’m ready to shift gears a little bit. To shift from “Entertainment Director” to “Life Coach.” It sounds so boring, right? Here me out.

This post is for all you mamas looking for some solid girls night out ideas, or those that just need a quick kick in the pants to make it all happen.

New flavors are coming! And they...are...AMAZING!

I live in one of the driest climates in the United States! I'm in Utah and we literally rank #2 driest climate.  Yes, we even beat Arizona.

My daughter loved the classic Curious George books when she was about two. Those stories are from another time when parents apparently had nothing to do. Each runs at least fifty pages. Fifty pages.

Do you know about 4/20? If you have a tween or teen, chances are they know all about this celebration of marijuana that occurs every year on April 20. And it's not just from whispers in the hallway or the pothead group at school.

I'm not expecting my son to become a concert pianist. He's one of the most okay-ist 11-year old piano players around. And that's just fine with me.  So why do I keep paying for lessons and nagging him to practice every day?

On occasion I wonder how soon the unearthly amount of sugar I consume in a day will kill me.

The Caribbean is exotic but paying for a family vacation doesn’t have to be exorbitant.

I think of that piece of advice all the time. Really. ALL THE TIME.
