Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
With spring fast approaching, there’s no better time than to let your child have a party with their best friends. A few days ago, I shared some Potty Training Charts for all the mom’s out there who are going through (or getting ready to go through) the whole potty training ordeal. And today I’m sharing something we can all celebrate about, free printable party invitations!

Tax season is in full swing! While the task of getting your documents organized and actually filing on time can be quite daunting, a lot of us can find peace of mind knowing that one day a lovely refund check (or electronic refund) will be headed our way! So let’s think about that refund for a moment. How would/will you spend yours? There are so many options, from redecorating the homestead to investing in a new cell phone! Today I will explore just a few. [Read more…]
Hello all! Welcome to this week’s edition of Friday Favorites. I’m pleased to announce that we’ll be expanding the party next week, as I will be welcoming 2 new hosts aboard for the party. They are Amanda from The Chunky Chef and Christine from MustLoveHome. So that means you’ll have a shot of being featured on my blog as well as their blogs each week; plus we hope to add more new bloggers to the party. So come one, come all, and invite your friends next week! 😉
Well, it’s snowing in my neck of woods this week, which is a rare occurrence where I live, so today I’m in the mood to feature some foods to help us all keep warm. Hope you like them! [Read more…]
I love good comfort food, especially hot soups and chilis. As the weather’s been colder here the last few weeks, it’s definitely put me even more in the mood for something warm and hearty. A while back my husband and I collaborated on this Salsa Chili. It’s the perfect chili recipe, as the tomatoes, onions, and peppers are right in the salsa, which means no peeling, chopping or dicing is required! And best of all, it’s delicious! [Read more…]

It’s a been a few weeks since I shared any printables, so here we go!
As much as I love party decor printables, I also love finding printables for use in other areas of life as well. Today I’m focusing on something that any new or expecting mom can use: Potty Training Charts. Potty training can be a difficult chore. It’s hard knowing whether your child is ready. Furthermore, it can be difficult to be consistent with your potty training techniques and practices, especially if you’re very busy or you have more than one person watching your child. For this reason, it’s good to have plans and strategies in place, and potty charts are certainly helpful with this.
I found a great website featuring a variety of free charts to help you and your little one get started on this journey! And they also have some great tips for you, the parent. [Read more…]

Is it snowing at your place this week? So far, we have no snow here, but we’re watching the weather reports! Either way, it is certainly cold out, and for cold winter days like we’re having this week there’s nothing like a hot beverage! If you shop at Aldi, you may have noticed they have a number of new coffee products. Their Barissimo line includes bagged coffee as well as single cups and ready-to-drink iced coffees in an array of great flavors. [Read more…]
