MomCoach: What's cooking? Wednesday - A Pinterest failure
http://momcoach.hopali.com/2013/01/whats-cooking-wednesday-pinterest.html
Because being a Mom isn't always easy! Wednesday, January 23, 2013. Wednesday - A Pinterest failure. Trying something unfamiliar is risky but without taking that risk, you don't discover new likes (and dislikes). So, even a failure can be considered a success, if only to eliminate something you don't like :) Does that make sense? Triple Chocolate Chunk Muffins. 1 3/4 c oats. 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa. 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder. 1/4 tsp. salt. Place mi...

MomCoach: November 2014
http://momcoach.hopali.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Because being a Mom isn't always easy! Thursday, November 27, 2014. Wednesday - Better than Pumpkin Pie! This is a repost from 2012, back by popular demand :). I'm so excited for Fall! That means I can make this dessert more often! It's easy (no making pie crust), and makes you feel like you're eating something healthy because it's pumpkin. :) If I had to pick a non-chocolate dessert, this would be first on my list! Better than Pumpkin Pie. 1 pkg yellow or white cake mix, dry. 1/2 c butter, melted. 1 Whe...

Their mommy did a fantastic job making their tunics! With jeans and white shirt underneath, these costumes are both fun, practical and inexpensive! Have fun and be safe! Tuesday, October 28, 2014.

MomCoach: Frozen...food not the movie :)
http://momcoach.hopali.com/2015/01/frozenfood-not-movie.html
Because being a Mom isn't always easy! Friday, January 23, 2015. Frozen.food not the movie :). Years ago, when I heard about the idea of making a month's worth of meals in a day, I was intrigued. Then I thought about the practicalities.with a family of 10, that would fill up a HUGE freezer! Also, the idea of spending an entire day planning and grocery shopping for those meals and another entire day in the kitchen preparing them sounded like torture! The less time I spend in the kitchen, the better! If un...

MomCoach: January 2015
http://momcoach.hopali.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Because being a Mom isn't always easy! Thursday, January 29, 2015. Warning - serious topic. A tragic news article prompted me to write today. A 29 year old mother couldn't stand hearing her young babies and toddler crying so she tried to kill them. Now the mother is in jail facing attempted murder charges and her three little children (aged 2 and twins 6 months old) are fighting for their lives. You think, "How could this happen? What could have been done to prevent it? Cover them. Baby sweating? 4 If yo...

Because being a Mom isn't always easy! Monday, February 2, 2015. You can do something! My son posted this quote this morning and I liked it so much I made a sign of it.

MomCoach: The strong-willed child
http://momcoach.hopali.com/2012/05/strong-willed-child.html
Because being a Mom isn't always easy! Monday, May 21, 2012. I knew she was different the moment she was born. Her cry sounded.angry. Like, "How dare you disturb my peace and quiet! May 22, 2012 at 10:39 PM. This really got my attention. The parent of any strong willed child is really put to the test. So wonderful to know that not only did parent and child survive, but they thrived! May 23, 2012 at 10:08 AM. It was touch and go for a while.like most of her childhood :). May 23, 2012 at 12:46 PM.

The Reluctant Empty-Nester: April 2013
http://reluctantemptynester.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
The kids flew the nest! Monday, April 29, 2013. I just got back from taking my youngest daughter to the airport so she can go back to school after Spring Break. I wish the time hadn't gone by so quickly! Every time I see her, she seems more mature and almost. Life is all about change. Change is all about growth. Growth is all about reaching your potential. My youngest is well on her way to reaching her potential. I'm so proud of her :). Saturday, April 27, 2013. I just got back from my first camping trip...

The Reluctant Empty-Nester: September 2013
http://reluctantemptynester.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
The kids flew the nest! Tuesday, September 17, 2013. When my husband and I were younger, we had to make a difficult choice concerning where we were going to live and work. At the time we lived fairly close to our families and wanted to find a good job in the area but my husband's "dream" job took us several hundred miles away. The move was. Dang, I'm going to miss them! Painful but provided us an opportunity to grow closer together and discover a new area which we eventually grew to love. 5 Thou shalt no...

The Reluctant Empty-Nester: Holiday question...
http://reluctantemptynester.blogspot.com/2013/10/holiday-question.html
The kids flew the nest! Tuesday, October 22, 2013. With the weather getting colder, the days getting shorter and the constant reminders at stores, I can't ignore any longer that the holidays are coming. With holidays come holiday stresses. When is everyone available for a family party? What should I get everyone for Christmas? Should I make the gifts? If so, what? How do I keep costs down yet not skimp of enjoyment? How do other growing families handle gift giving and get togethers? Will they get along?
