SPICY FRIED SHRIMP PO’BOY RECIPE

If you've been coming to my website for any amount of time, you know that I love making meals for my family that are quick, healthy and take less than 30 minutes to cook from start to finish. I love cooking and making things for my family from scratch, but when it comes to cooking dinner I don't have a lot of time to spend in my kitchen in the evening. I have too many things going on at home around dinner time that allotting an hour or so in the evening in my kitchen is just not feasible.
I was presented with the opportunity to try Seapaks p...

ORGANIZING YOUR CHILDREN’S CLOTHES FOR SCHOOL

Going back-2-school is always a hectic time for my family. After two months on a "free for all" schedule we ar enow getting ready to get back on a routine. Adding a routine back into our lives after eight weeks of lazy days and all nighters is going to be quite the adjustment.
Do you want to know the best thing about summer? All day pajama fests. PJ's were a staple in my family this summer. Stripes and polka dots? Yes ma'am. Red and purple together? Why not. Although our colorful, and sometimes creative, clothing choices were our way of appr...

RECIPE: FIESTA CHICKEN

I am all about cooking healthy meals for my family. I want them to eat a balanced meal, but I don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen cooking it. I absolutely despise staying in the kitchen longer then I have to. With four boys I don’t have the luxury of planting myself in the kitchen for too long without some kind of disaster happening in my house.
I am always looking for ways to prepare healthy, but quick, meals that I can start in the kitchen and basically let it cook by itself while I am supervising my family. If your family l...

RECIPE: FRIED SWEET POTATOES

My family loves to eat sweet potatoes. There are so many different ways that you can prepare them. I have used them in main dishes, side dishes, and even dessert dishes. Because sweet potatoes already have a hint of sweetness in them, I decided to try something different. I love the combination of sweet and salty. Kettle corn is a favorite snack of mine, so I decided to try to combine the sweetness of the sweet potatoes with a little bit of salty. What did I come up with? Fried sweet potatoes. This is a family favorite of mine, and I can gu...

AFFILIATE ORGANIZATION CHART

The good thing about blogging is that it gives you the opportunity to make money while you do something that you love. One of the best things that I have discovered since I started blogging is affiliate programs. It allows me to place advertisements, both text and graphical, on my website and earn money from them.
The downside of affiliate programs? Not all of them will work for every website. (But that is an article for another day.)
I know that when I first got started with affiliate programs, I had a hard time keeping up with the who, ...

MY DAILY PLANNER – DOWNLOAD

I am a "to-do" list kind of woman. I have to write everything down or I will forget it. Being a mom to four children doesn't allow for much room in my brain for remembrance of detailed daily tasks. If my head wasn't attached to my neck, I would probably loose it most days.
Every year in December I start looking for a planner that will carry me through the following year. I have a few simple features that I look for in a daily planner and I have yet to find one that meets all of my needs.
Last year I decided to create my own daily planning...
