Forgot How Much I Love Regular Yogurt: Trying Out Koru Yoghurt @KoruDairy

koru

One of my go-to snacks for awhile now has been plain Greek yogurt. I don't know when Greek Yogurt became a *thing* but we all know it's a popular option in the dairy aisle at your grocery store these days! I usually have a little plain with some honey and I'm good to go. But recently, I checked out Koru Dairy - creamery style yoghurt - and I was … [Read more...]

Ingenious: the IceHuggy (and a 20% off coupon!)

icehuggy

From about April-October, my kids have popsicle and Flavor Ice (we call them "Icey Pops" in our house) almost every day.

Enter the IceHuggy, which is really such a simple yet handy … [Read more...]

The newly remodel, redesigned … [Read more...]
