What to Eat: Charleston

Charleston, SC is one of our favorite destinations, both for relaxation, history and great food. I first traveled there over a decade ago for a wedding and have been coming back every couple years since. We like to stay out by the beach on Isle of Palms (and do lots of eating on Sullivan’s...

This is 5. Anything yellow or paw patrol or rainbow or basketball. He draws the most beautiful hearts and makes his J backwards, both things I love. He is the kindest boy who wants to decorate cakes when he grows up (me too!!). I already knew he was an awesome little brother who adores his big sis, but this past year I learned what an incredibly nurturing big brother he is, and wow it blows me away. We love you Jackson. So much. #hbd

I read an article in the @bostonglobe this morning

I read an article in the @bostonglobe this morning about how parents (everyone interviewed was a mom, actually) are stressing about dinner, like really a lot of anxiety, and cooking multiple meals to satisfy all the requests of everyone in the family, kids and adults alike. And part of the stress comes from fairytale Instagram photos that make dinner look soooo easy breezy. It is not. Don’t let staged photos fool you. For example, here I had to invite someone over to take this photo of me, I had to organize the cup/plate kid drawer and I actually fixed my hair and wore pants that button. Let’s all cut ourselves some slack. We certainly have scrambled eggs for dinner more nights than I post on Instagram. One day we won’t, until then eggs and snack dinner or bust! (Real life note: keep the kids stuff down low in a drawer and they can access it themselves and help at mealtime and it is a game changer!!) #kidapproved #momwin #eatrealfood #delicious #familymeal #recipe #homemade #todayfood #sundaysupper #makesmewhole #forkyeah

Snack dinner is one of my favorite simple meals.

Snack dinner is one of my favorite simple meals. At least once a week we do snack dinner boards that my son calls “make your own salad” despite no lettuce in sight. We get out our biggest platter or cutting board and fill it with all the things. It’s a good way to use up leftovers and straggling cut up veggies, cheese and other odds and ends. Or you can go all out and make it fancy. Then everyone fills up their own plate. Peace. At dinner time. A miracle. #kidapproved #momwin #eatrealfood #delicious #familymeal #recipe #homemade #todayfood #sundaysupper #makesmewhole #forkyeah

Simple food before I had kids does not equal my de

Simple food before I had kids does not equal my definition of simple food now, at 530pm, on a Wednesday, after ballet, before homework and on and on and on. What is “simple” food for you? One pot? One sheet pan? 5 ingredients? No-cook? Takeout? Eggs? (Like this breakfast tostada!) #kidapproved #momwin #eatrealfood #delicious #familymeal #recipe #homemade #todaybreakfast
