When I was 24 years old, I wrote my very first post. I said hello, uploaded a picture of my dog, and said I wanted to share things that I was passionate about. And for 7.5 years, I did – and it was so good for me. This blog challenged me to figure out who [...]

How I Stop Temper Tantrums (this trick still works very, very often!) Post-Birth Review of Bradley Method Natural Birth Classes The Case for Waiting (to find out the baby's sex) Henry’s Birth Story, Part I and Part II Claire’s Birth Story Why I’m Stopping Breastfeeding Henry, Stopping Exclusively Pumping, Part I, and Stopping EP, Part II Breastfeeding Claire [...]
I have gotten SO into frozen veggies. They are so quick and easy (no chopping, no mess) and way cheaper than buying the organic fresh produce. Plus - they help make awesome omelets... or messy eggs when I forget to mix the eggs before pouring them into the pan. Ha! When I have two kids [...]
Can you believe it’s November 4? I can’t. Where is the year going?! Here are 10 things I want to do before 2015 is just a memory. Finish all the books on my side table. I started off very strong with Book a Week but am definitely not going to finish 52 books this [...]
Did you have a great Halloween? We sure did! Halloween is shaping up to be one of my favorite kiddo holidays. I absolutely love going trick or treating with everyone! Claire enjoyed sitting in the stroller and waving “hi!” to everyone. And Henry LOVED going door to door with his friends. A bunch of our [...]
This recipe is a HUGE hit in my house. I kept meaning to share but forgot over and over - probably because I'm too busy licking a spoon. It turns out that, if you mix peanut butter and Greek yogurt, this wonderfully fluffy "mousse" is created! Add in a little cocoa powder, a splash of [...]
Good morning! It was an early one in the Boyle household (but, then again, it usually is!). It’s so weird to see Claire standing all the time now… Or zombie-style walking towards me (know what I mean? That early baby walk always reminds me of a zombie). Speaking of Claire, do you like our pumpkin? [...]
Three fun things about this weekend: #1 - I got through half of this week's Book a Week. I am reading about The Five Love Languages for Children. If you're never heard of the love languages, check out their website. The love languages (how you express and receive love) are: physical touch, quality time, [...]
Remember when we went apple picking with our friends? Well, we ended up with a ton of apples - of course! And after eating a few whole, I knew that I needed to get creative in the kitchen before they all went off. I wanted a yummy snack with only a few ingredients - something [...]
This post is sponsored by Gallery Direct. So a few months ago, I saw a post on Kath Eats about Gallery Direct, which makes beautiful canvas prints right from your photos. I immediately hopped on over to the site to order a ‘test’ print of Claire. You see, I had been desperately wanting to transform [...]
The post title says it all! This morning, the Husband and I searched for TWO HOURS (I am not exaggerating) for his car keys. I had them last, but we’re pretty sure a kiddo picked them up and hide them… somewhere? Hopefully not down that AC vent, which is where I was convinced they were [...]
Did you have an awesome weekend? Ours was busy but great. We actually spent a lot of time just hanging out in our backyard. A chill is definitely in the air – you can tell that winter is coming! I felt like we were all trying to soak up the last bits of sun and [...]
I made it to boot camp! I made it to boot camp! I am trying to get back into the swing of things, fitness-wise, but have been balancing a desire to sweat more with a need to calm my schedule down and workout intuitively - not just because a training plan says I have to. [...]
Yesterday, I had a totally new experience – I went apple picking! We went with four other families – a grand total of 13 people – to Skytop Orchards, which boasts over a dozen varieties of apples and is a huge tourist attraction in the area. We got there just as the leaves are beginning [...]
