The cheese dip, guacamole, salty chips, piles of sour cream – YUM! I would be pretty happy eating it every day, and we rarely go a week without having some kind of Mexican dish. Taco night is most certainly a favorite since the kids can either mix everything up into […]]]> https://www.themommygames.com/2013/09/10/taco-casserole/feed/ 4 2997 https://www.themommygames.com/2013/09/04/30th-birthday-celebration-and-giveaway/ https://www.themommygames.com/2013/09/04/30th-birthday-celebration-and-giveaway/#comments Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:34:12 +0000 http://www.themommygames.com/?p=2981 My friend Holly is turning the big 3-0 and we are helping her celebrate with this awesome giveaway!

Sorry I missed last week, I just couldn’t bring myself to sit at the computer long enough to write this post. The kids and I have been on the go, and the few moments that I’ve had to myself have been spent reading and relaxing. Marathon training has taken a lot more […]]]> https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/30/mommy-happy-hour-10/feed/ 4 2967 https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/28/croque-monsieur-bake/ https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/28/croque-monsieur-bake/#comments Wed, 28 Aug 2013 10:05:39 +0000 http://www.themommygames.com/?p=2957 I love the start of a new school year. Fresh notebooks and pencils. Backpacks and lunchboxes that haven’t been ripped and dirtied. A whole new set of classes and teachers. It’s my inner nerd that really gets excited about these sorts of things. I have a whole set of goals that I’m working to implement […]]]> https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/28/croque-monsieur-bake/feed/ 27 2957 https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/21/funfetti-muddy-buddies/ https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/21/funfetti-muddy-buddies/#comments Wed, 21 Aug 2013 10:06:47 +0000 http://www.themommygames.com/?p=2939 Although I’m not exactly sure what classifies as a “funfetti” flavor, I sure know that I love it! Maybe it’s the sprinkles that give it that extra sweet and fun punch. Do you remember way back when instead of being in sprinkle form, there were little sprinkle type balls? Those were amazing and I wish […]]]> https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/21/funfetti-muddy-buddies/feed/ 17 2939 https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/16/mommy-happy-hour-9/ https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/16/mommy-happy-hour-9/#comments Fri, 16 Aug 2013 18:40:14 +0000 http://www.themommygames.com/?p=2926 Hello weekend! Hope you all are having as glorious weather as we are in NYC. It’s pretty crazy how cool it is here, I even needed a jacket yesterday. Totally bizarre for August, but it certainly makes running around the city a little more enjoyable when you aren’t melting with each step. Rylan has finally […]]]> https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/16/mommy-happy-hour-9/feed/ 9 2926 https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/15/busy-moms-3-minute-make-up-routine/ https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/15/busy-moms-3-minute-make-up-routine/#comments Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:18:59 +0000 http://www.themommygames.com/?p=2911 Mornings can be rough. Actually getting out the door with your hair brushed, lunch boxes packed, and a fully equipped diaper bag, can be borderline impossible at times. The idea of putting on make-up is nearly laughable.  But I’m a firm believer that feeling put together and presentable makes us better moms and women in […]]]> https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/15/busy-moms-3-minute-make-up-routine/feed/ 4 2911 https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/13/sun-dried-tomato-chicken-pasta/ https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/13/sun-dried-tomato-chicken-pasta/#comments Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:38:12 +0000 http://www.themommygames.com/?p=2862 I seriously love Pinterest. I mean I just love it. I could easily spend hours searching through crafts I’ll never make, impressive recipes I’ll never try, and clothes I’ll never wear. Oh, if only my real life reflected the one I lead on Pinterest. Occasionally I give myself a good swift kick in the pants, […]]]> https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/13/sun-dried-tomato-chicken-pasta/feed/ 17 2862 https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/09/mommy-happy-hour-8/ https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/09/mommy-happy-hour-8/#comments Fri, 09 Aug 2013 10:03:49 +0000 http://www.themommygames.com/?p=2808 Happy Friday loves! This week has been nothing if not monotonous. We’ve been in the midst of potty training, which essentially means we’ve been locked indoors, and that our Saturday looked about the same as Tuesday. There were many times when I had to consult my phone just to see what day it was. Sad!

Honestly, I’ve been on a sort of mental summer break myself and have felt anything but organized. I sat down the other day and made a list of all the closets I want to reorganize and various things that needed to […]]]> https://www.themommygames.com/2013/08/08/lets-get-organized-babysitter-printout/feed/ 4 2787
