However, you shouldn’t forget about the state of your natural nails. The look and feel of your natural nails can often be a telltale sign of your general health. For instance, certain nail concerns can point to vitamin deficiencies; others can hint at more serious health conditions that might require a doctor’s visit. In any case, it’s important to know what to look for if you suspect you have unhealthy nails....
Just like going to marriage counseling, going to couples financial therapy—especially before you marry, but even later when financial issues crop up—can put you and your mate on a more even, understanding level. Plus, it can open your eyes to each other’s money behaviors. There’s almost nothing couples fight over more than money; a Ramsey Solutions study found that money fights are the second leading cause of divorce (behind infidelity)....
Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival I just got back from a trip to Disneyland to check out the opening day of Disney California Adventure’s Food and Wine Festival! I went with my three siblings and we ate alllllll the food and checked out all the fun so that I could give you a well rounded review of everything! I’ve put together tips and tricks from our visit as well as full reviews of all of the Disneyland food festival menus here!...
I was chatting the other day with one of my neighbors about baked goods and one of the things we both wholeheartedly agreed with is that brownie mix brownies are the best. I’ve made a number of homemade brownies but none of them come close to the soft and gooey taste you get of boxed brownies. There’s a reason I use a box mix in my cookie Oreo brownie bars....

But first, a lesson in cranberry appreciation… Cranberry harvest in North America begins in late September or early October, and lasts through early November, with the fresh-berry season lasting through January. Of course, frozen cranberries, Craisins, cranberry juice, and the ubiquitous canned versions are available year-round. Need more reasons to love cranberry sauce? Health-wise, there are plenty.

I’m always looking for easy desserts, especially ones that I think will go over well with both kids and adults. And ones that are easy to make for a crowd. This mini Kool Aid pie recipe achieves both of those things. While Kool Aid pies are typically served in the summer, I’m sharing it now in case you want a different type of pie to bring with that no bake pumpkin pie for the holidays!...
I love Christmas. Love everything about it. Singing the best Christmas songs, doing Christmas activities with my family, and my favorite – adopting a family to surprise with 12 days of Christmas gifts. And you know I love my Christmas party games. But one thing I need to be better about is bringing Christ back into Christmas, since that’s what it’s really all about. Santa and Frosty the Snowman are fun and all but at the end of the day, we’re celebrating Christ’s birth....
If you’re a parent you already know that getting kids to just sit for a while is tough. Whether it’s for a meal, traveling, or honestly just during the day to take a break for a minute – it’s hard. I made these activity placemats when my son was a little younger, but we still use them today! I’ve used them for meals at home, meals at restaurants, on airplanes (one of my favorite tips for traveling with toddlers), in the car, and even just to entertain my son on a rainy day....
Christmas Eve Bingo Game One of my favorite family traditions is playing bingo Christmas Eve. The tradition started before I was even born in my Dad’s family, and it’s been going on for as long as I can remember anytime we’re with my family for Christmas Eve. It’s not Christmas Eve without a few Christmas party games, a pair of new Christmas pajamas, family gathered all around with their bingo cards, and a fire in the fireplace....

St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt If there was ever a day to go on a treasure hunt, I feel like St. Patrick’s Day (or talk like a pirate day) is it.
