I spend a lot of time outdoors, especially in the summer. My kids love to play in the yard and at the park, and my youngest ones still need constant supervision. It's all good until I need to get my online work done. I don't know if you have ever tried to see your computer screen while the sun shines on it, but it used to be impossible for me. The colors fade out and the screen is totally unreadable from any angle. Then I got the Nokia Lumia … [Read more...]
This summer, I found the best homemade lemonade recipe. It is so simple to make with freshly-squeezed lemons, sugar and water. My family loves it! You have got to try it. What could be equally as good as a glass of ice cold lemonade? Strawberry lemonade! You won't believe how easy it is to get those strawberry "freckles" in your lemonade using frozen strawberries. How to make freckled Strawberry Lemonade: … [Read more...]
Early in the summer, we went hiking on our Colorado road trip. My kids noticed a beautiful black, white and purple butterfly on one of the trails. We had never seen a butterfly like that before - and it captured the kids' attention for about 15 minutes before flying away. Everyone wished we had butterflies like that around our house. That little Colorado butterfly is what inspired us to plant a butterfly garden. Mom Always Finds Out is part of … [Read more...]

Somehow I lived my whole life up until last weekend without visiting an aquarium.

Our walk through the underwater glass tunnel at The Living Planet Aquarium. Someone sign me up for annual aquarium passes, please. This place is AMAZING! There is so much to … [Read more...]
All of my kids are on summer vacation from school, so I like to give myself a vacation from cooking breakfast most mornings. Everyone around here loves cold cereal anyway, so there's rarely any complaints. I have to admit, I can make an excellent bowl of cereal. Just ask them: I recently switched our usual cereal milk to the new Silk Almond Coconut Blend (Original). My family loves Silk soy milk and almond milk, but this is our first time EVER … [Read more...]

We're no strangers to cuts and scrapes around here, especially in the summertime when my kids spend lots of time playing outside.
