    Thompson's take on baby allergies

    Our teeny tiny was born in September 2015, and man did he rock our world. Still today he gives us a run for our money. If we had him first, there may have never been Thompson party of four. Even though he is our wild child, and a bit of a tornado, he really ties our family together. So far the pregnancy and crazy infancy have been well worth it. After the hospital, we thought we were going to luck out with an awesome infant, boy did he fool us. About two weeks into life with

    "Cimmonimonim Roll" as the little's say

    It all started last March, for little mans spring break. This mama was craving some cinnamon rolls. Not just any cinnamon rolls, ones that were made when I was a kid. I wish I could give my mom the baking credit, but she is not a baker. A beautiful soul who has become family is my inspiration here (Hi Leena!!!). As a kid she would make all these crazy breads and sweets, one being heavenly cinnamon rolls. She would bring over certain ingredients that were only available in Fin

    To cloth or not to cloth? From a dude's perspective...

    It all started roughly 3 years ago when Shandy came home from work after a Pinterest and moms blog binge. It must have been a slow day. She looked at me late that night and asked my thoughts on cloth diapering our second (monster) child. Mind you she wanted to do cloth diapering for our first, but with diapers as gifts we did not pursue that route. All that crossed my mind (again) were the Rugrats and their close pin towel things. I immediately said a big "HELL no!". In my he

    How to make the dough, pizza dough that is.

    Like most kids, ours ask for pizza at least once a week. Most people stick to delivery and when they are feeling frisky may go to the local grocery and snag a pre-made dough ball and go from there. Pizza definitely brings our family together, I want to share the ease at making a killer home-made pizza dough, one you can feel proud of. Although the recipe is pretty simple, there is a method to the madness, after all it is a science. The fun thing about pizza dough is that on

    Last call for SUMMER break...

    Florida weather is known to be capricious, one minute the sun is out shining, next minute complete downpour. This summer has been pretty wet in Northeast Florida. We have had what feels like more rain than a typical summer. Beginning of summer break, we had TWO full weeks of rain. There are only so many indoor activities one can do before the kids go crazy. With this being the last week of summer, we went for a full fun packed weekend. The weather did not look like it was goi

    Thompson's take on 1st grade

    As most parents, we are preparing for back to school. Here in North Florida, majority of the students are returning to school on Monday, August 14th. Although most parents are more than ready for their kids to go back to school, you know, so they can keep their sanity; there is still a bitter sweet feeling amongst our household. Yes, right now our house is complete chaos. Swimsuits are hung just about everywhere, paired with their sandy towel partner. Pretty sure our kids hav

    "Southern" Favorite

    Did someone say BBQ? My wife may be the worst "Southern Girl" ever. She isn't much into BBQ, or anything really fried. To be honest the only "Southern Food" she enjoys is ranch. So when I get a hankering for BBQ and all it's glory, it is a tough item to sell in our household. Well last night I secured a VICTORY! I may or may not have started dropping hints two weeks ago, it's a serious process. Just as most couples do, we communicate throughout the day seeing how things are g

    Taste the rainbow

    Breakfast in our home, is never the same. Every day is different. Summer time is a favorite for smoothie bowls. We love them, all the best fruit flourishes during the summer season. The best part about the smoothie bowl, your options are limitless. You can do any and all fruits, or just stick to the basics (2 fruit selection). Who says you have to stop at fruits? Throw in some kale or spinach to help get your greens in. Many moons ago, during our baby moon with our first we w
