Because my life is busy, and we haven't been able to hit the salon, I was looking for options to learn how to style my kids’ hair.  Luckily, we had the opportunity to try out an online course called Barber Mom.

In some households, “leftovers” is a dirty word, but not mine. In fact, my people prefer some of my dishes on the second or even third day. That’s because I’ve mastered the art of second-day suppers.

My go-to fall recipe is the famous “Dump Dessert” — this little concoction never disappoints me, seriously. If desserts could be a reliable item of clothing (unlike non-stretch jeans), “Dump Dessert” would be your favorite stretchy pajama pants, you know the ones– you have had them since your early 20s and they still fit–thoooose pants.

These days, you can order almost any type of product through a subscription service.

But are they really worth it?

National Stepfamily Day is celebrated each year on September 16. If you are in a blended family, Happy National Stepfamily Day to you and yours!
