4 Kids, Life and Dinner (Recipe: Corn and Veggie Chowder with Chicken)

Someone who was expecting their fourth child asked me the other day how going from three kids to four kids has been. I feel sorry for the poor lady because she asked me on one of those days when I was feeling quite overwhelmed, and I was bluntly honest with her! I love my family [...]

Halloween Traditions (Recipe: Cheeseburger Soup)

I am sitting here tonight, surrounded by kids who have basically been on three days of extreme sugar highs, and I am reminded of why I do not love Halloween. I was a fan when I was a kid, and I do love my own share of candy and kiddos in cute costumes, but the [...]
