Be a Kid Again with Hasbro Board Games #HolidayGiftIdea

This post is Sponsored by Hasbro but my opinions are 100% my own! When I was growing up, Saturday night was game night for my brother and I.  My parents would go to a movie and the babysitter would come over and play board games with us.  I loved it and remember the fun we had together.  Some of my favorite Hasbro Board games were Monopoly, Sorry, Connect Four and as we got a bit older, Battleship!  I have so many great memories of these games and I'm so glad that my girls now have my love of board games.  While there are so many great games, I still love the oldies that I played as a kid and I'm so happy to add them to their board game collection.

13 Quick Beef Dinners for a Busy Week

13 Quick Beef Dinners for a Busy Week

by | , , , , | 0 Comments

  This is a busy time of year for families and who feels like going out to eat on busy evenings!?  I have a stash of quick beef dinners that I use this time of year and a lot of them contain beef for a few reasons.   First of all, beef is affordable and almost always on sale, my family will eat beef so that's a plus and it's so easy to make.  I like to buy a few pounds of beef at a time and brown it all ahead of time then freeze in one-pound bags.  Then I can pull it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge in the morning and by the time I'm ready to cook dinner, it's thawed and ready to go.   Then I can add it to my favorite recipes. You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for most...

Peach Muffin Smoothie Recipe

How about starting your day with a delicious Peach Muffin Smoothie!   I will find every way I can sneak add more fruits and veggies into my girl's day.  Sometimes I have to be creative and other times I have to make it seem like it's nothing at all.   This includes adding things to recipes they love and convincing them they won't even know.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  If you are a parent, you know exactly what I mean. When I find a deal on fruits and veggies, I like to stock up and then figure out what I'll do with them.   With the summer coming, I know that's going to happen a lot!  There is nothing better than fresh fruits and veggies that are on in season.  Especially...
