130 Calorie Strawberry Cheesecake Crescents Recipe

130 calorie Strawberry Cheesecakes

I love dessert, it’s one of my favorite ways to indulge.  However, because I am rather health conscious about what I put in my mouth, indulgent desserts and healthy don’t always go hand in hand.  Indulgent doesn’t have to mean 700 calories for a large piece of cake.  About 5 years ago, I did a…

Turning 4, A Child’s Excitement

Rowan

One of my favorite parts of being a parent is seeing the excitement my kids have for the simple stuff.  Our cute little Rowan turned 4 this last week, and I had to laugh at how he reacted to some of his presents.  Sound effects, screaming and all.

Making Dinner Special Weekday dinner nights aren’t always the most special occasions. It seems like we are going a million different directions.

Healthy Homemade Egg Rolls

Healthy Homemade Egg Rolls

Healthy Homemade Egg Rolls One of my favorite challenges is taking a recipe that I love and finding a healthier alternative. Egg Rolls are a big weakness of mine, but usually they are deep fat fried, filled with calories, or tons of sodium. More often than not, I’ve bought the frozen egg rolls from the…

My Child Has a Developmental Delay

First Day of Preschool
