Costco Churros

COSTCO TIP!! Buy frozen churros at the food court and bake them yourself (under-bake to get a much softer middle). Toss in cinnamon and sugar and you can feed a huge crowd! 50 long churros (these are cut in half) for $28! When you bake them yourself they are so much better! My 2nd graders class went wild over them today! 🎉

Halloween Party Planning

Teaching them young the importance of early party planning. T-2 weeks! 🎃 Happy Saturday everyone!

Lemon and Candy Stick Lemonade

Starting fall break off right when it’s 80 degrees outside! Your kids will love this after school treat! Lemons sliced in half (width ways) *Candy sticks broken in half Insert the candy sticks in the lemon and start sucking. The acid from the lemon will create a straw and you’ll get sweet “lemonade”. 🍋

Easy Breezy Lemon Squeezy

As we flew home yesterday I turned to my husband and said, this week is going to be different. I’m tired of being impatient, nagging, and frustrated with the kids all day. This week I’m going to be, as my kids say, “easy breezy lemon squeezy”. Bugging your sister. Oh well. Drawing on the cabinet again. Yep. Not getting ready for school. We’ll be late, not my problem. Messy house. Doesnt bother me. Tantrum in the middle of Target. Easy Breezy I’m going to stop talking at and to my kids so much and listen more. We will be late and messy and in disarray, but for this week I’m going to try my hardest to not let it get to me. I like clean and on time and control so this may kill me. Here goes nothing.

Travel with kids and one suitcase

I always take ONE suitcase for FIVE of us girls on all of our travels. I keep it easy and basic. KIDS 2 shoes for each (1 sandal, 1 sneaker) 1 outfit per day plus 1 extra (if we have laundry where we are I bring 1 outfit for two days) 2 bathing suits 20 underwear Toothbrushes and one hair brush for everyone 10 diapers and buy more when we get there ME 1 outfit each day (yep).. 3 shoes (sandal, workout, nicer) 2-3 bathing suits 2 workout outfits 1 toiletry bag Plenty of room to spare 😉

Yoga-me-do Filming

Filming for a great cause and bringing nutrition education to our schools. Only for kids would I cook with a ball balanced on my head. 😜 I love people who are trying to make a difference!

Loves

What family trips (not vacation), is all about! Travel tip- I wait until I get to the location I’m traveling to to buy cute “local” dresses or things for the girls. Walmart, Kmart, and such have great local clothing and items for kids. Don’t try touristy shops but shop where the locals go. These dresses were from Walmart and less then $10. You know with four kids you’ll end up at Walmart so save some dough and wait until you get there!

Chips and Salsa around the Pool

Chips and salsa taste so much better with a little chlorine (and Dad around ALL day)! PS- This picture was supposed to show pineapple, mango, and watermelon sprinkled with lime juice and sea salt but it was gone by the time I got my camera. Amazing!

Wet Hair and Piña Coladas

I’m learning early in motherhood that wet hair (mine) and Piña Colodas make my kids happier then anything.
