This is Grandma Michelle. She’s my Momma. And she lives in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We had the chance to visit her twice this year and both experiences have been magical (more on those visits in a future post, stay tuned). In the last year and a half that she has lived in Mexico, she has spent time learning to make auth[...]

They're usuall[...]

I have two boys and they both get a kick out of helping me make this yummy treat. I melt the chocolate and then let them have fun tossing their favorite Crunchies fruits on top. We le[...]
Thank you for supporting the sponsors who help support this blog. Every year it's always the same. I reluctantly drag my kids to the grocery store to do our weekly shopping. I wrestle them down the aisles and bribe them with bags of chips and iPad screen time if they'll just let me shop in peace (they never[...]
