Breakfast Nachos
Updated September 2023 Over the course of my dinner planning I’ve noticed we have a Mexican dish at least once a week. Even my picky daughter seems to love anything to do with tortillas and cheese! Taking this idea, I decided to change things up and make some Mexican for breakfast in the form of…Breakfast Nachos. It couldn’t have been easier (I made half of it with a baby strapped to me) and it was a huge hit with everyone…which as you know, doesn’t happen often. Go directly to the recipe!

The Summer Game Plan
I’ve been a working mom since day 1. This means I’ve never enjoyed (endured) a summer break with my kids. They’ve always been in day camps or at home with family…until this year. Knowing this time I would be the day camp and knowing my kids don’t function without a schedule, I used my four months of bed rest to concoct a game plan for a full calendar of summer activities for kids. Affiliate links appear in this post. I may receive a small commission if you click on these links with no extra cost to you! Thank you for your support. Step 1: Printing off a calendar for each month…
