Power Breakfasts
Simple breakfast ideas that are packed with protein, fiber, and good-for-you carbs!
Many studies have shown that children who eat a nutritious breakfast have increased learning ability, longer attention spans, and generally better health than children who skip breakfast. A balanced breakfast that will keep a child focused and satisfied till snack time or lunch needs to include carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. However, the mad rush of getting everyone up, ready, and off to school can pose a challenge to healthful eating. To make things easier, prepare as much as you can the night before, even if it's just setting out ...
Have You Googled Your Child’s Name?
Most parents have never Googled their child’s name. They may think their child is too young to have a digital image. But, 92% of kids in the US have an online presence by the age of 2. Growing up in a digital world, it is important that both parents and kids know what information exists about them online.
Over vacation, I sat down with my kids and Googled them. We began by typing their first and last name in the Google search bar. This task would have been quick ...

Having to be responsible for another human life and needing to worry if that child has been fed, bathed, is getting enough sleep, is healthy, is growing and developing, and is happy can be the most enjoyable and the most difficult of challenges a care taker may endure.

The Family Oil Change
Recharge
“It’s so nice not to be interrupted,” Joe said as he enjoyed his third cup of coffee over breakfast.
We were basking in the infrequent indulgence of leisure time as we sat in the sun on the hotel patio. In well under 24 hours we had been transported to a different place, both literally and mentally. We were enjoying a night without kids less than an hour from home, yet we felt a million miles away. Our mini-vacation had left us both relaxed and refreshed, and we headed home ...
Macaroni Menu of the Week
Lemon-Raspberry Tarts
My in-laws were here visiting about a week ago and I love trying out new recipes on them. And luckily, they don't mind when I do! Here was a winner; the perfect sweet and tangy end to a meal which is also easy on your waistline at only 199 calories per serving. And best yet, a recipe that is so easy, but looks like you spent so much time preparing!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed and divided
- 1/2 cup (about half a can) sweetened condensed ...
