My name is Andrea and I am the mother of two beautiful (and quite active) children.  I also homeschool my oldest and tutor English on the side through a great company that you can check out on my Vipkid page. It is a lot to juggle sometimes!

I have a wonderful, supportive husband of thirteen years. His favorite question has always been, “What’s for dinner?” When we first married the answer was often some form of hamburger helper. Haven’t we all been there?  What a good sport my husband was!

Over the years I discovered how much I love to cook and try new recipes! Oh how I love to eat! But then came children. Suddenly I just didn’t have time to cook the elaborate, from scratch recipes. Oh what to do? Rather than go back to the boxed dinners I decided to try my hand at adapting recipes to fit my busy schedule. I am excited to say that I have had many successes (and failures of course)! Along the way I have grown to equally enjoy finding ways to make my home more relaxing. With so many ideas out there to choose from, I hope to make it a little easier for you by showing what has worked for my family and what hasn’t. So let’s get started!
