Camping with Clif Kid ZBar

June 27, 2016 by Angie

I’ll be first to admit my love of snacks while camping. All bets are off once we pull in to the campground!

You can spot fellow campers at the store Thursday or Friday afternoon, grocery carts full of chips, hot dogs, the odd cake and 12 pack of cookies. We give each other the nod and go about your non judging way. It’s no wonder my kids love going, all day playing outside with allowable granola bar breakfasts. Sometimes I find myself cutting up a cucumber just to say we’ve had something green that day! …

Fruit Rainbow with Cheesecake Cloud Dip

This year my daughter wants a beach themed birthday party. Every year around May I start to get a bit anxious and slightly terrified of what she’ll request. In the past we’ve done a lot of princess parties – easy! Then moved on to animals. Pandas and most recently, the Pig. That one was actually pretty fun. I sat up at night making tiny pigs out of pink fondant to sit on top of her swimming pig cake. I can’t imagine not having the internet to reference for ideas! Then came American Girl. Wow!

Tropical Mango Berry Smoothie

February 16, 2016 by Angie

I’ve been whipping up smoothies like crazy this week. They’re getting us by until dinner time when we’re all rushing around. It’s also because I have a ridiculous amount of frozen fruit to use up. There was a pretty sweet sale a few weeks ago and I went a wee bit overboard.

Speaking of dinner, doesn’t it feel like a weight lifted when you know what’s for dinner the rest of the week? Between dance, swim lessons and work I’m really surprised we don’t hit drive-thru more often! Taco salads, meatball subs and breakfast for dinner are becoming fast favorites. We’re starting to bbq more too now. The snow has melted right off the patio and I’m hoping it stays that way. Too da loo white stuff, no one likes you!

Cinnamon roll waffles

February 11, 2016 by Angie

Alert. Danger, danger!

Did you even know cinnamon roll waffles existed? I didn’t until I was cruising Pinterest this week. I believe it was around midnight when I saw a photo of a squished down cinnamon roll on a waffle maker. Try to get to sleep after that! These are the things I’m doing while also trying to get to bed earlier. Goal not accomplished….
