Here in St. Louis we are pretty land locked. Sure we have a river that runs along side our fine city, but we are definitely land locked from the land and world of Disney. Taking a vacation to the happiest plane on Earth requires much planning and either a plane ride or long car trip. Not an easy task.

Easy To Make Foil Baked Apples Recipe
It's no secret that I love fall. Pretty sure that I've been telling you all this for weeks now. But it's oh so true! I absolutely love fall.

How To Make Backyard Snails After School Snacks
The back to school countdown is on! My kids start back here in St. Louis in a week. I cannot believe how quickly summer just flew by. We do have one more vacation to go on before school starts back so my kiddos will actually be missing the first two days. They don't do much in the first couple of days anyway, right?!

How To Be A Teal Pumpkin House For Halloween
I'm embarrassed to admit but I never thought too much about the whole teal pumpkin thing until my son had a reaction to peanut butter. Now, this time of year, it's on my mind all the time. We went from having kids who could always eat anything and everything (no allergies whatsoever) to a peanut free household.

In the world of long lasting nail color there are lots of options out there. I've yet to decide which is my most favorite. Perhaps it just varies by week or what I have time for. Sometimes I need a quick polish knowing full well that it won't last longer than a day. Other days I can actually take the time (and steps) to create an at home manicure that will last several weeks. Either way I'm saving View Post

How would I learn where I could eat? Well the answer is yes I can still eat View Post
How To Live Gluten Free In The Lou
When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease I definitely went through the stages of grief. Okay I'm still in the stages actually. Grief is a long process. I've experienced loss before and I do feel somewhat odd comparing this diagnosis to the loss of a loved one. It seems almost trivial. To compare my change of eating habits to losing someone close to me? But in many ways it's just like View Post
