3 Ingredient Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Ball

Bacon and cheese is one of my favorite combinations. And that’s also because bacon and cheese are two of my favorite foods. So any opportunity that I can get to combine them? I’m all for it. That includes appetizers to main dishes. One of my favorite appetizers to make lately is a bacon and cheddar cheese ball. And the best part about it? It’s so easy and starts with three ingredients. From there, of course, you can jazz it up as much as you’d like. This pairs well with crackers, bread, or if you’re like Squeaker, just dig in with a spoon. The recipe is also easy to double in terms of quantities so if you need a larger one or want to make multiple…

  This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mott’s®. The opinions and text are all mine. #SecretLifeOfMotts As we continue our incredibly lazy and informal tot school over the summer, I go with Squeaker’s lead. Some days she’s definitely more interested in sitting down at the table with me to do something and other days, she’d rather just play. And though we do try to limit screen time, sometimes things on TV will catch her attention. I use those moments to plan for a mini tot school unit that we can spread out over a few days or just do a few activities in the morning. “The Secret Life of Pets © 2016 Universal Studios.

Are you ready to take on the day or could you use an extra hour or two to find your capability to function? I’ve never been a true morning person. Sure, I can get up early when I need to but the thought of sleeping in never seems to register with my body on the weekends. Still, I try to make the most of it and go about what I need to do to get myself and my kids ready for the day. And for me that means having…

Is Network Marketing a Good Fit for Moms Who Want to Work at Home?

As you know, I’m making the transition from being a stay at home mom to being a work at home mom. The transition hasn’t always been easy as I’m also trying to figure out what the base of my work will be. Sure, it may seem simple enough- brainstorm a list of ideas for working at home and then go from there. But that’s in theory and sometimes theory is a lot easier than putting everything into action. I’ve had many business ideas in the past, most of which never came to fruition. And that was all for lack of taking action. So if there’s anyone to blame for my non-business success? It’s me. So why is it different now? Why do I still feel…

An afterschool program may seem great in theory and for some kids, an afterschool program is just what they need. But do all children really need or benefit from afterschool programs?

Does Your Child Really Need to Attend an Afterschool Program?

As parents, we want to do what’s best for our children. This stretches across all aspects and areas of life but perhaps none quite as important as school. Whether our children attend a public or private school, or if they’re homeschooled; education matters. With the decision of where to send them, or to keep them at home, may also come the decision of whether or not to enroll them in an afterschool program. For Sweet B, at least for the time being, we’re developing an afterschool at home program to make connections between home and school. It’s loosely based on her IEP goals but also has plenty of flexibility for working on life skills. But is an afterschool program really necessary for all children? Let’s…

Does it feel like, no matter how accurate you think your family budget is, that you just don’t have enough? Do you feel like you’re constantly living paycheck to paycheck? I understand how you feel. Though we do manage just fine and make ends meet, there were times that I just had to wonder how we were going to get through the month. Of course, the priority was making sure that the kids had enough to eat and that we had other household essentials taken care of. It’s a stressful way of life but one that many of us are used to. But what can we do about it? Sure, we can make a budget and then hope that everything works itself out. We could…
