Back-to-school time is upon us, and for most of us that means a return to a super busy schedule. Even though we all desperately want to provide our families with home-cooked, nutritious meals, that seems to fall by the wayside when we’re struggling to fit in all of the baseball practices, dance lessons, homework, and whatever else we fill our …
Smell. Scent. Aroma. No matter which word you use, the sense of smell can cause the most amazing and immediate reactions (good or bad). Chocolate chip cookies baking on a cold and rainy day. The slightly salty, fishy smell of a riverside market. Freshly baked bread filling up a house with a warm and comforting aroma. My favourite has …
When I was a little girl I begged for a Chia Pet at every holiday. Every year I was disappointed when one didn’t appear under our Christmas tree or at my birthday celebration in the spring.

I have always loved this time of year. The weather is great. Hot, yes. But, I like it that way. As a kid, I really looked forward to getting back to school. I spent lots of time carefully picking out new clothes, getting folders and pencils organized, and dreaming up lunch box ideas during the weeks leading up to the …
Every summer growing up, my family went through gallons of lemonade. Our freezer was well stocked with the little frozen cans of concentrated, lemony goodness. “Homemade” lemonade meant adding water, lots of sugar and giving it a good stir. As a Scratch Mommy, I’ve cleaned up my diet a little (okay a lot!) since my childhood. And as good as …
Sometimes learning something new can be intimidating. We can feel a bit out of control the first few times because we don’t know the steps and are not quite sure what the outcome will be. Perhaps you recall the first time you made a cake from scratch or rode a bike. That small nagging feeling in your stomach was the …
