Before we had kids Andrew and I were supposed to spend 2 weeks backpacking through India. I had done so much preparation for this trip including painstakingly filling out probably 100 pages worth of Visa applications for us. Andrew’s idea of preparation was taking me to our local Indian restaurant to get a taste ofContinue reading “Easy Slow Cooker Butter Chicken”

Potty Training Tips
Let me start this by saying I am by no means an expert. I’m not a pediatrician or a urologist and I do not have a degree in child psychology. What I am is a mother who has potty trained 5 children of both genders, that have all been potty trained by age 2. SoContinue reading “Potty Training Tips”
Bugaboo Donkey2 Stroller Review
It’s safe to say we’ve gone through a lot of strollers this year. With soon to be 5 kids under 5 we have been on the search for the best stroller so we’ve tried several! It all started when we realized our original double stroller, a Graco, was actually a giant piece of junk. WeContinue reading “Bugaboo Donkey2 Stroller Review”
Can You Backpack Through Europe With Small Kids?
The short answer is yes, absolutely!! When we told people we were planning on spending 3 weeks in Europe as a family of 6 with 4 kids under 5 and nothing but 2 backpacks we got a lot of *unsolicited & mostly unhelpful* advice! Everyone was quick to tell us that we were crazy, butContinue reading “Can You Backpack Through Europe With Small Kids?”
Twisted Chicken Spaghetti
This meal started out as regular chicken spaghetti. I was following a recipe I found on Pinterest and then realized I didn’t have half the ingredients but I had already started. I blame the mom brain? So I decided to chug right on along and make this recipe up as I went. It turned outContinue reading “Twisted Chicken Spaghetti”

After the birth of Belle, our baby #4, we were overwhelmed. When she was bornContinue reading “Baby Rowlett #5”
Honey Oat Bread
About a month ago Andrew bought me a bread maker machine off Amazon. I originally scoffed at his purchase and left it sitting in the box in my laundry room for the past month. Finally a couple days ago I decided to search bread recipes on Pinterest and realized how easy it would be toContinue reading “Honey Oat Bread”
Disneyland Paris
It’s no secret that we are huge Disney fans. We visit Walt Disney World 5+ times a year and enjoy every second of it! So one would think that it would be a no brainer for us to visit Disneyland Paris while in town, but that was not our plan! We only had 5 daysContinue reading “Disneyland Paris”
Paris France January 2020
If you have a fantasy like dream of visiting Paris sipping espresso and eating macaroons beneath the Eiffel Tower in a picturesque setting then I advise you to stop reading now. I too had romanticized Paris. I took French throughout school as my foreign language and was smitten with it. When cheap flights to ParisContinue reading “Paris France January 2020”
Baby Jogger City Mini Double Stroller Review
A few years ago in 2017 we were at Disney World with one of our old crappy double strollers (we’ve had a few) and we saw a man get on the bus and fold his stroller flat so effortlessly. I spent the rest of the bus ride trying to figure out what kind of strollerContinue reading “Baby Jogger City Mini Double Stroller Review”
