My Boys Have Style! How Do You #BendTheTrend With Back To School Fashion?

    JcPenney has some uber great deals on clothes too, always. I shop those clearance racks for my teen and always walk away with something she likes.

  • Kristi

    Looks like a fun shopping trip, I liked that they were smiling AND shopping. Doesn’t always happen for our shopping adventures with our girls lol

  • Vanessa

    Your boys look so adorable in their little outfit choices. JCPenney is such a great place to shop for back to school!

  • Joy

    Your boys are so cute. They looked so happy with what they picked.

  • Ann Bacciaglia

    This looks like a great selection of back to school clothes. I remember when my kids were that age. It was always fun to see what styles they would pick.

  • Tammy

    I love the deals that we can get on clothes at JC Penney. It was always our back to school shopping stop when our daughter was in grade school & high school because of the affordability and the fact that I could still find modest things for her there when she was in high school.

PackIt Up For Back To School Lunch

Back to school lunches on your mind? My sons both start school this year in a few weeks and I’m already planning healthy school lunches to send along with them. Most children do not have lunch until about noon, and of course we want their lunches to stay fresh and tasty so they’ll actually eat […]

    Well these look like fun lunch bags to have kids! I like the idea that it keeps your food fresh and unmushy!

  • Chrystal

    These are really cute! Kiddo need a lunchbox that is durable and going to last the year. Nothing bugs me more than a costly product, which doesn’t last.

  • Brandy

    This is a really cool concept, I love the style options too. Thanks for sharing, I so need to buy new lunch boxes for school!

Grilled Lemon Chicken With Capers + Buttery Garlic Bread

Summer days are for enjoying at leisure, and preparing quick and easy snacks on movie nights or while entertaining in the backyard makes it even more fun (particularly for the hostess, who’d rather sit with her family and friends than spend an hour in the kitchen). Pepperidge Farm® Microwavable Breads makes it convenient to create […]

    This looks delicious. I love when you find something like easy-to-prepare bread that can make a meal look like a masterpiece, without the masterpiece-sized effort.

    Delicious, and this recipe is bookmarked for my recipe folder!

  • Robin

    That sounds so tasty! I can’t wait to try it.

  • Melinda

    I love capers! their salty burst of flavor is my favorite in all kinds of dishes. This meal looks amazing.

  • Stacie

    This meal sounds delicious. I love Pepperidge farm garlic bread. It’s delicious and so much easier than making it from scratch.

  • Pam

    I love capers but I rarely cook with them. That may change once I cook this chicken!

  • Toni

    This looks so delicious! I love lemon on chicken.

  • Marcie W.

    This entire meal combo sounds heavenly. I love the idea of lemon and capers with chicken, and few things top garlic bread for me!

  • Tracy

    I like to add some capers to chicken piccata as well, and you had me at Garlic Bread, microwaveable? EVEN BETTER!

  • This recipe would be great for a dinner party. It sounds like the bread complements the chicken well!

  • Mandi

    I grew up with this bread! It’s my favorite for pasta night, which I think we are going to have to do this week!

  • Veronica

    This sounds really great! It looks like one that I would like to try

    Those capers look good. I have this bread on my grocery list.

  • Felicia

    All of this looks delicious. That bread sounds amazing and simple for our family.

  • Theresa

    Pepperidge Farm has the best garlic bread. I remember first buying it when my hubby and I moved in together, almost 18 years ago. It’s been a staple in our house ever since!

  • Candy O

    What a beautiful chicken dish! I have capers! I need to make this!

  • Kristi

    Perfect timing as I was just looking for a new chicken recipe. Adding Pepperidge Farm® bread is great idea, we usually have it with pasta but it would be great with this too.

  • Christie

    I think a little garlic bread goes perfectly with your light chicken dish! I could eat this anytime, easy ingredients

  • Sabrina

    I love lemon and capers together with chicken! Your dish looks so delicious!

    I have not tried the microwave bread yet. it would be such a great way to enjoy fresh bread with dinner. This recipe looks so delicious. I will have to try it.

Just Get Out And Play!

This summer we made sure to get out every day and enjoy the sun and time off from school, and discovered that our boys are quite the little athletes. In past years they sort of sat on the sidelines and watched other kids play, having no interest in joining in, so this year we decided […]

  • Robin

    My boys are always outside and I love it. It makes me happy that they have no problem putting down the electronics to get outside.

  • Alicia

    We love Little Tikes products! I grew up playing on a Little Tikes playset myself.

  • Patty

    I love Little Tykes toys. They hold up to anything that kids can throw at them. Your kids are so cute.

  • Crystal

    What cuties! My kids had this basketball hoop when they were little and they always had such a blast.

  • Karen Coutu

    That’s such a great idea for breaking the boys out of their shells. Our children always loved Little Tikes toys when they were little! 😀

  • Christa

    They are adorable! It’s so fun watching them grow up and become more involved in sports. My son wasn’t too interested until he was about 3 1/2 and now he’s into a bunch of stuff. We really want to introduce him to basketball and soccer next so these would be perfect for him!

  • Sara P.

    We have an older version of that basketball hoop and it was SUCH a hit when my kids were smaller! We still have it, but my kids are too tall to use it. I want to find someone to pass it off to.

It’s #Cheesecake Appreciation Month + Someone Is Going To Win a Year’s Worth of Cheesecake!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Fiber One. All opinions are 100% mine. “Sooooo good!” is how my husband pronounced Fiber One Cheesecake Bars after I started popping them into his work lunch bag every day. He usually has to eat breakfast on the go in the form of whatever […]

    I can appreciate cheesecake any month and any day LOL! The salted caramel ones look super tasty!

    The Cheesecake Bars sound delicious. The wrapping is classy, as well. It’s always nice to find a quick snack for adults that is healthy and delicious.

  • Sabrina

    My husband loves cheesecake! I’ll have to let him know about this!

  • Kristi

    ohhhh those sure sound yummy! Will be adding those to the shopping list to pick up soon.

  • Ann Bacciaglia

    These look so delicious. I love Cheesecake. I am going to pick some of these up.
