Our family routine generally includes a pretty boring breakfast. My husband and son eat oatmeal almost daily and my daughter and I like to have yogurt. But, that doesn't mean we don't like to splurge, usually at brunch. In fact, with Easter coming up this Vegetarian Egg Potato and Sausage Casserole would be a great idea! MorningStar Farms Sausage Patties are not only vegetarian but they are so tasty. We love them and they are a big indulgence for us. They taste great with pancakes, inside … [Read more...]
Our Kindergarten Homeschool Routine
I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for Nutri-Grain. I received product samples and promotional item to thank me for participating.

Our Morning Routine
Thank you to Silk Fruit & Protein for sponsoring today's discussion. Does your family have a morning routine? With our first baby, we didn't have a big routine. Ever. And having no routine worked just fine in fact. But our Little Man? Well, let's just say life is vastly different. Our day begins at 6 am every day. He is a morning baby. Nothing we do has altered that fact. I am not a morning person. Thankfully, my husband and I take turns getting up with him. We'd love nothing … [Read more...]
Simple Everyday Breakfast for St. Patrick’s Day
We are not the type of family that skips breakfast. We all eat breakfast and like breakfast and I am glad for that. We like simple everyday breakfast in our house. I also like to save money while shopping. We often eat the same foods for breakfast and can easily get into a breakfast rut. For me it is some form of toast and yogurt. My husband eats oatmeal pretty much daily. My Princess eats cereal - she loves cereal. Safeway is offering an amazing Buy 4 Save $4 sale in a Rise … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving Breakfast Ideas
Do you have Thanksgiving traditions? This year my family has been talking about new Thanksgiving ideas. We usually have a late lunch with family that day. Since we live here on a reservation, I have a large extended family. We usually rent a large facility and do Thanksgiving potluck style. We bring games and play board games and card games and just have fun and laughter together. It is great to connect with the whole family, but isn't cozy and warm like a meal in a home would be. So, in my … [Read more...]
