S Club Mama

Since I've been a mom, I've been concerned over cooking things properly for my children. Is the baby food mushy enough? Is the formula too cold? Are the grapes cut small enough? However, I've never used a food thermometer to check the temperature of meat. Well, enough of that! I got myself a Cave Tools digital thermometer. Not having a thermometer for so long, it does take some discipline for me to use it (mostly to remember I have it to use). I have been using my Instant Pot a lot since the baby's birth and that's given me time and space to use the thermometer. I plan to start making my own yogurt in my Instant Pot so this is going to come in handy for making sure the milk is at a high enough temperature and then cooled to a low enough temperature in that process.  way hot enough for chicken   I like how sleek it is; it doesn't take up much room in my overflowing kitchen drawers.  The thermometer is 100% stainless steel, waterproof, shatterproof.  I k...

I've blogged about the awesome outfits you can get from Ellie.com before. Well, I'm here to show you another great few pieces of workout clothes that will make you feel fit and fashionable. I had the opportunity to try the Heartbreaker Capri and On the Flip Side top from the Coral Crush collection from Ellie.com. The color coral is all the rage this summer - along with neons (which you can find in the new Ellie.com collections, Cosmic Love and California Dreams ). As you can see, I didn't pick a coral color but mostly because this On the Flip Side shirt looked SO comfy. And I was right. IT's a super comfortable, reversible top. I think it's cute enough, I wear it with jean shorts. The only qualm I have with the Heartbreaker Capris is that they are a little lower waisted than I like, but if I wear a long enough shirt, it doesn't bother me. I have only wore the whole outfit once to work out...but that's because with my new black ugly foot accessory,...

As some of you may know, April is Autism Awareness Month. This, of course, is very near and dear to my heart because of my sweet son, Moose. I thought it would be fun to review something in honor of this special month. So I bring you BAM Crafty Mommas and their Autism Awareness Chalk Board Mat. I love this mat! It has come in so handy these past few weeks as we've been in and out of the doctor's office with bronchitis and viruses and other junk. The boys get a little unruly - 'hey, do you want to color?' and this just gives them something to do. It's so nice that I can roll it up (with that little white elastic piece) and have it in my purse or diaper bag! How handy! You can't see it in my picture, but there is another piece of elastic that would hold a small piece of chalk - unfortunately, we only have sidewalk chalk but I just roll it up in it and that works for us. Moose is not much of a colorer. He honestly doesn't color much but if you give him ...
