Every year, around the time the temperatures stay chilly long enough to say “winter is here,” my kids begin to show signs of the season. These can be a tickle in their throat or a persistent cough, which are almost always short lived but are a nuisance nonetheless.

Some mornings, I feel like I’ve run a marathon by 9 am. The amount of juggling involved in just a couple of hours can leave any parent exhausted before getting started with the day! Although I’m homeschooling two out of the four kids in the house, the other two still need to get out of […]

Every day is an opportunity to make small changes that can have a very positive effect on our lives. With a new year, comes the opportunity to set the tone for the adventures, big and small, that might come our way.

Root vegetables are perhaps the most ignored veggies when it comes to cooking. The idea that they are difficult to cook or take a long time is a myth, and I hope today’s recipe encourages you to make them more often.
