This is the second week of my new goal, getting the kids involved in cooking dinner. I decided that my deep love of my slow cooker, although amazingly convenient, wasn’t helping the kids learn the joy and value of time spent in the kitchen….

My husband and I were watching a documentary a few weeks ago and it occurred to me that in my attempt to be highly organized and extremely prepared I was ruining my kids future! Well, not really. But I did make the decision to…

  Spring is a magical time in Benelux. In The Netherlands the tulips are the star of spring but everything is in bloom. It seems that everywhere is full of magical colors and wonderful smells. Last year we went to the Kuekenhof and had…

My kids love getting really dirty and I love letting them. For me there is no greater sight than my kids covered in mud and exploring nature. This is why I love the Dutch Speelbos so much. It translates to “play forest” and that…

It's not any crazier than a soft plastic sack with hot dog liquid in it, is it? I'll let you know how they are. #imnotsure #hotdoginacan #veggiedogs #grilling #hotdog #MoMeindhoven
I thought the rice from dinner deserved it's own picture before the kids made me pick out the mushrooms. They love the flavor the mushrooms bring to the party but refuse to allow one piece to touch their plate. Oh well, kids are weird. I soaked dried mushrooms (about a cup) in water then cut them up and added them and cut garlic to my little rice cooker. Then the standard one cup of rice and two and a half cups of water (using the liquid from the mushrooms). I also added a veggie billion cube for extra flavor. Oh my goodness this was delicious!!!! I can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow for lunch!! #cheapmeal #healthydinner #ricecooker #mushrooms #kidfriendly #caravanlife #MoMeindhoven
Caravan life!!!! I really thought I would be grilling every night but now that caravan life is a reality I've realized that that isn't really practical. Like... I haven't grilled once in 3 weeks. But we are still eating well. My new favorite contraption is a rice cooker that was given to me. I see many blog posts about it in the future! #caravanlife #hippielife #ricecooker #healthyfamily #MoMeindhoven
I've been so busy the last few weeks that I've started to forget to take care of myself. My sleep has suffered, me energy levels have suffered and even my blog and social media has suffered (the worst, right!). But today is a new day and a fresh start. I'm starting my day with lemon ginger water instead of the usual coffee. Let's get that metabolism going!! I'm sure I'll have a coffee later, though. Good morning everyone!!! #healthymom #freshstart #morningroutine #lemongingerwater #MoMeindhoven
