My mom is an expert baker. I can speak from experience.
There are things you take for granted, as a mother. Sure, much of motherhood is being taken advantage of – you’re basically a food source, a chauffeur, a referee and a human Kleenex – but there are also hidden advantages. This is something I’ve been thinking about lately as I watch my husband with our two kids, a son and daughter.
I get interviewed a lot about Mabel’s Labels and the number one question I always get asked is “why did you name the company Mabel’s Labels?”. It’s actually a question I dread because the answer is not very interesting – quite simply it was for branding purposes.
I consider myself a feminist.
Winter 2017 has been awful.
I’m a parent. I also run my own business from the comfort of my home. So, that makes me…a work-from-home parent. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Bed head, PJs, and a commute that consists of walking downstairs to my office. I’ll admit, it’s a pretty sweet gig, but it does have its challenges.
Oh, the humble egg! Never has a protein been so versatile, tasty and packed with goodness. While my eldest daughter is a huge fan of eggs in any way, my tempestuous toddler has a complete aversion for them. So, I’m always on the look-out for ways to sneak in these shelled beauties! Thus, my quick, crust-less mini quiche recipe was born.
Some kids are picky eaters. And then there’s my kid. For the first three years of his life, my youngest took it to the next level. He was flat-out against eating.
Kids just love waffles, especially when they have a tasty dip to dunk them in. In this healthy waffle recipe, I swapped out the sugary syrup with a tasty yogurt dip that you can put together yourself.
If I were to pick a favorite comfort food, I would have to say it’s cereal. Nothing lifts me up more than a bowl of Frosted Flakes (or Shreddies, or Honey Nut Cheerios, or Mini Wheats, or…) drenched in milk. And as much as I love cereal, my kids love it more.
