Air Fryer Pumpkin Empanadas
I admit to being hesitant to jump on the whole air-fryer band wagon, but Jen’s Guy was fully enamored with the idea of them and has been wanting one for quite some time. So like the old married couple we are, a few weeks ago to celebrate 21 years of marriage I gifted him an air fryer. My previous hesitancy …

Back To School Shopping Made Easy With Fashom
I was provided with purchase credits by Fashom towards clothing to facilitate this post. No other compensation was received. Hi everybody! It’s me Sam, Jen’s daughter. Back to school shopping can be a big bummer. Driving from store to store and finding nothing you like is not my favorite thing. This year I tried something new though, and it made …

What You Can Do To Prepare Your Child For An Active Shooter Situation
I saw a post on Facebook recently about a mom who made a tee shirt she wore to drop her kids off at school on their first day. The shirt said, “A teacher’s commitment to a child’s learning should equal your commitment as a parent.” I loved this shirt and would suggest that in fact our commitment as a parent …
Northern Italy: Milan, Turin and a Return To Paris

Back To School Graham Cracker Stick Pencils

All That Glitters: The Paris Edition
I was recently talking with a relative who had visited Paris and was less than entranced with the day-time version of the Eiffel Tower. I asked him if he had seen it at night, because that makes all of the difference. It glitters, it sparkles and makes your heart swoon. Before we get there though, let me start at the …
