This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Barilla. The opinions and text are all mine. There seems to be a misconstrued idea that creating a home-cooked meal is going to involve long hours and a lot of work. It doesn’t have to be that complicated. Really. You can even get the…
Meatball Casserole
One of our kids favorite dinner nights (and mine) is when we make our Meatball casserole. It is easy to make and the kids will just love it. Trying to come up with dinner ideas can be tough, but sometimes you have to just think a little outside the box. Becky and I have been making…
One Ingredient Caramel Sauce
Becky and I love to eat foods the remind us of fall, go places that make us think of fall (football games for me and craft shows for Becky). There is barely a chill in the air and she has the pumpkin arrangements and leaf garland out for all to see. The smells…
The hidden reason a child misbehaves
There are many reasons that kids misbehave… far too many to mention here. Becky is a play therapist and has studied child development for many years.

Family Backyard Camping Tips
For some people, swimming is the epitome of summertime fun, but for me and the kids, backyard camping is what does it. When I was younger, I definitely enjoy going to campgrounds and camping out with my family, but when we can’t get away for a few days, we bring the campground to our backyard….
Team Work Makes the Dream Work
They say Team Work Makes the Dream Work. It works for us. Maybe it’s because sports are such a big part of my life, but I’ve never doubted that team work is what holds our family together. Without my wife and kids, I’d be one-sixth of the person I am today. We’re a team…
10 NEW ideas instead of electronics
This post contains affiliate links to products that we have. Not a day goes by where our kids don’t ask for their iPods or to watch a show. Becky and I aren’t “all or nothing” parents when it comes to electronics, but we do like to really limit it. We like when the three…
