This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Groupon. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s almost Mother’s Day, and there are definitely things on my wish list that I’d love to get this year…and none of them come in a box. I’ve always been the type who loved having a great time […]

    I love taking advantage of the amazing deals on Groupon! I need to check out the local ideas for my mom, great idea!

  • A getaway would be a great gift. Groupon would make that so much easier.

  • Ann Bacciaglia

    Groupon is a great website.. I love looking on the site and finding hot deals.

  • Pam

    Spa days and getaways are my favorite gifts. Good food is up there too though.

  • Jeanine

    So many great ideas this year. I don’t have anyone to buy for but my husband and kiddos are always hunting for me! I never would think Groupon!

  • Chrysa

    I love when Groupon has these extra percentage off deals. Their prices are already so good and this makes them even better!

  • Amanda O.

    Personally, I would love some pampering. A massage sounds so good right now.

  • Veronica

    Mother’s day spa day sounds like something I would love to receive as a gift this year! I need to drop some serious hints

  • Rachel Ferrucci

    Groupon has great deals and I’m totally entering the contest because who wouldn’t love a bunch of spa treatments!!

  • There isn’t very much stuff that I need, so the idea of experiences really appeals to me. It sounds nice to have some time to myself but I end up missing my family when I’m off alone.

My Five Favorite Love Story Movies Ever #StreamTeam

I love movies, and if the storyline involves a romance, even better. There are the movies I watch again and again and can never get enough of, and was recently surprised to realize that four are all currently available to stream on demand on Netflix…so obviously I’ve been staying up late into the nights re-watching […]

    What a great list! I loved 50 first dates, that movie is just GREAT!

Teaching My Sons To Bake With The Pizza I Grew Up With

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ellio’s Pizza. All opinions are 100% mine. My older son is five, going on six, and he’s at a great age for learning a lot of new things. He’s so bright, and we have a lot of fun together (and honestly, I feel like […]

    Yum, now I want some pizza. I love the cookie cutter idea.

  • Ellio’s looks like really good pizza. I love those convenient sizes.

  • I’ve never had Ellio’s pizza, but it looks really good! I’d give it a try.

  • Jeanine

    Yum! That pizza looks so good! It’s fun teaching them things we know from childhood!

  • Lindsey

    The square pizza! Didn’t we all grow up with that? My son asked me to let him “help cook” when we made spaghetti, and he has such ownership of the food at dinner.

  • It’s great that you are teaching your son how to cook! Also, the cookie cutter idea for the pizza is genius!

  • Penelope

    Each rectangle can be split into three smaller rectangles too, they are pre-cut but my sons like “big pizza” slices 🙂

  • christina aliperti

    The cookie cutter shapes are too cool. We always keep a box of Ellios in the freezer for nights I don’t feel like cooking.

  • April

    You can’t go wrong with pizza! Cutting it into shapes is a great idea to make it even more fun.

  • Meagan

    What a cute kiddo you have. I love making pizza with the family.

  • Debbie Denny

    I love that you are doing this. Baking with kids is so much fun.

  • Chrystal

    YUMeeeeeee I love pizza. I love how you guys got creative with the olives and cookie cutters.

  • Anne

    Your boys are growing up so fast! My daughter loves to help out in the kitchen too.

  • My kiddos love to help out in the kitchen also. Sometimes I think it’d just be easier to do it all myself (the control freak in me), but it’s so important to teach them to be independent and capable.

  • Christie

    What a sweet little chef you have there! I find my kids more willing to eat when they help with the process, so fun making pizza

  • Ann Bacciaglia

    My son loves to cook. It is such an important skill all kids should learn.

  • Amy Desrosiers

    Oh my gosh, I loved Ellio’s pizza! Honestly, it is some of the best frozen pizza ever!

  • Ronni

    I am all for getting little hands involved in helping in the kitchen! The cookie cutter is a great idea!

  • Tracey

    What a good helper! Now I really want some of that pizza…

Mama’s Best Ever Linguine & Meatballs Recipe

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Ragú® and Latina Bloggers Connect. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Variety is the spice of life, so even though we may have favorite meals that are my go-to recipes for my family, the truth is sometimes they want something new. And my family has no […]

  • That looks so delicious! I make a version of this with Ragu, except that I use store bought meatballs to make it even faster.

  • Linguine is my favorite. It has a nice bite to it!

  • Oh wow I love this recipe! And my family loves Ragu too!

  • Betsy

    I love the idea of adding capers! Why haven’t I thought of that? I bet it tastes amazing.

  • Catherine S

    This looks really yummy. I think I will be making some spaghetti and meatballs this weekend. We always use Traditional Ragu I will have to try the Tomato Garlic and Onion sauce.

  • Pam

    This looks so good! I love using Ragu in my pasta recipes.

  • Rachelle J

    Those meatballs look yummy! I think i’m going to try your recipe and use ground chicken!

  • Kim Croisant

    That dish is a staple in our house. I kid pleaser every time. I’ll have to try your way next time.

  • You have the most adorable meatball maker! I need to try adding these to our weekly rotation. I’m getting the same type of groans at my house with the regularity we’ve been having the same meals.

  • That looks delicious. Guess what’s on the menu tonight? 🙂 I have lots of ground beef!

  • Jeanine

    Oh goodness! I am hungry, shouldn’t have clicked on this yet! This looks soooo good. Will have to try!

  • Penelope

    I was thinking of doing that too, a different meat.
