Peanut butter. Oreo. Reese’s cups. Need I say more? I’ve made this twice in the last month and each time I’ve caught my husband standing in the kitchen licking the mixing bowl clean. It’s that good. And because I don’t do complicated, it’s another easy recipe and you most likely already have all of the ingredients. Unless you’re like our family and eat all the candy. In that case you may have to buy more Reese’s cups. And don’t eat them all at once. What You’ll Need: -Premade Oreo crust -1 8oz pkg cream cheese, softened -1 cup creamy peanut butter -1 cup powdered sugar -1/4 cup milk -1 container…

{Kid Friendly} Chicken Pad Thai
Not only is this a dish that your kids will actually eat, but I made it on a weeknight. A weeknight! After working a full 8 hour day.

What You’ll Need: 4 ounces cooked fettuccini noodles 2 chicken breasts cut into cubes Peanut Oil (can sub olive oil if needed) Snow Peas (can also use edamame, asparagus, sugar snap peas) 1/4…

1st day of 2nd Grade
Yesterday marked the first day back to school. While both Ben and I are excited for 2nd grade my heart also aches just a little at how fast he is growing up. 2nd grade was my favorite and I just loved my teacher so I’m hoping the same is true for Ben. We’ve talked a lot lately about being a leader and that is my hope for him this upcoming year. To use his humor, heart, and smarts to be an example to those around him and to encourage everyone he meets. Here’s to a great year!

Friday, Friday
The only thing standing between me and the glorious weekend is a day long training I’m giving to a bunch of teachers who I’m sure would rather still be on summer break. So should be fun. Let’s hope the day flies as we’ve got an exciting weekend planned. I’m linking up with Christina, Amanda, Karli, & Erika to bring you my 5 things this Friday. //one// While taking a glance at our Summer Bucket List, I realized I am way behind on trying out some new easy Summer cocktails. With only 3 ingredients, these are not only easy, but all of them look delicious. via //two// I hit up one of my favorite consignment sales and got…
