Today I want to give you some of my favorite easy pasta recipes for dinner. Pasta has always been a bit of a comfort food in our house. When you want something super filling that will give you leftovers a good pasta dish can do that for you. Pasta is also super cheap and easy to keep on hand. I personally make one or two pasta dishes a week just so we can have extra leftovers for lunch. Since both my husband and I work from home it’s nice to have something quick and easy to heat up and enjoy.…

Raise your hand if you’ve ever given up on getting your kid to help around the house and just cleaned it all yourself. I know I have. It’s quicker, it stops an argument, and the house just gets clean. However, we all know getting our kids to help clean up around the house is an important tool to teach them for their future. Like a lot of moms, I’m a firm believer that everyone in the house contributes to the mess of the house, so everyone needs to help clean it up. My son is 6 which means he’s not…

When I was a kid the play room was typically in a basement and not at all decorated. That is no longer the case and I’m here for it. Today I am sharing Bohemian playroom ideas that are beautiful and well organized. Half the reason why we likely didn’t get nicely decorated playrooms when we were kids was because organization options were pretty minimal. Additionally, the playroom was typically our domain. Now as people buy smaller homes and playrooms get put in multi purpose rooms, we need a bit of…

We are in our new normal, which means many of us are now work at home moms and will continue to choose to work from home even if it means finding a new job. Unfortunately, that means our home life and work life often intersect. There are loads of great reasons to continue working from home. Productivity is higher, we are less stressed, we are spending less money on clothes, eating out, and gasoline. Working from home also has saved companies loads of money on workspace. The benefits greatly outweigh any of the setbacks that come with being work at…
