Here comes the Easter bunny with the Steiff Candy Rabbit

We fell in love with Steiff while expecting our first, and the first thing we bought for her was a special Steiff bear. That special bear has now been joined by dozens of friends on her shelf, and it’s one of our favorite things to collect as a family. I love that each animal or piece is representative of a certain season or specific time, and the newest Candy Rabbit from Steiff is sure to become a beloved friend as well.

Power whenever and wherever you need it with myCharge

I met with myCharge at CES and was so excited about what I saw – they literally have a portable and convenient way to charge anything with a cord. Lipstick sized, cell phone sized, or book sized, they have it all and it can keep just about any electronic charged and ready to go. You never realize how dependent you are on electricity until the power flickers and you experience that moment of sheer panic.

MAXIMUS Smart Security Light: all-in-one light and camera

The newly released MAXIMUS Smart Security Light is so much more than an outdoor lighting fixture that happens to have a camera. Their Smart Security Light is beautiful in its own right, with 4 different models to choose from that can match just about any house exterior {Coach, Contemporary, Craftsman and Traditional}. The Smart Security Light also has two-way talk so you can engage in live conversation or play a message every time someone is detected. Add in the fact that it’s easy to install and doesn’t require an electrician or damage the exterior of your house, and it’s not hard to see why we love it so.

Monster Jam back in Seattle again

I was super excited when the opportunity arose to take my own kids to see Monster Jam’s return to Seattle after a 20 year absence. I had really wanted to take them to see Monster Jam in neighboring towns, but we never were able to make it happen. After seeing the show live this weekend, all I can say is that we should have gone sooner.

Add spirit to your breakfast with this amazing DIY waffle bar

Our weekday mornings can get pretty crazy. So, to keep things running smoothly, I created a breakfast schedule with the help of the kiddos to keep everyone happy. With Eggo waffles and Reddi-Wip being a favorite breakfast, the kids immediately declared every Wednesday as Waffle Wednesday, and I thought up the idea of a waffle bar with some inspiration from one of our favorite shows, “Spirit Riding Free”.

Matching Girls Monday: family pictures

Finally sharing our most recent family picture from this winter. We snapped these ourselves before heading out for a family fun day and later I realized that everyone but me was rocking some new Old Navy finds. Clearly I should go buy some new Old Navy clothes for myself, right?

It’s comfort food made easy, and it’s the perfect thing to pair with a nice big salad or fresh baked bread for a complete meal that is on the table in minutes.
