Instapot creamy Mac and cheese (Kid approved)

Okay I don't mean to alarm you but this is really ridiculously good. My daughter love Mac and cheese (who doesn't?) but I wanted to stop the Annie's box Mac and cheese and start making her something a bit healthier and better tasting. Here it goes: Ingredients 16 oz pasta 3 tablespoons butter 1 tsp…

Instapot

Okay so I've been ridiculously busy and consumed with everyday things, that I haven't had time to post. I do want to start sharing easy recipes for week nights from the insta-pot, which has become my best friend. If you haven't already got one, you need to. It makes life so much easier and less…

Parenting books

I know every parent or soon to be parent has picked up a "parenting" book a time or two. Whether browsing through the pages or quickly inhale all the words before you. One thing I've come to find, there certainly isn't a parenting book to parent children because no one child is the same. There…

I don't say "no" too often to my 13 month old. Even if that means I'll have extra cleaning to do or more baths to give. She's exploring and I won't limit that for her.

Days will be different

My parenting styles are similar to that of a grizzly bear, making sure my daughter is protected and safe and well fed at all times. I enjoy being with my daughter and being there for everything. I even miss her when she goes to sleep. (I am that annoying) But I will say for people…

I hate to be so honest but the world we live in, is a white washed world. It's a world where the color of your skin defines your goodness and your "ability to succeed." And the successor is a white individual. I'm writing this because it's almost Christmas and while shopping for my daughter who…

Raising boys and raising girls

I'm writing this because ì saw a post on Facebook yesterday asking "Should boys be allowed to play with baby dolls?" Ì started scrolling through the comments and immediately saw various opinions regarding the subject, most women said yes they should be allowed to play with what ever it is that they want. A few…
