Black Bean Avocado Brownies: A Healthy Lunchbox Treat!

It’s officially fall: the leaves are turning and the kids have been back in school for several weeks now. That means I’ve resumed possibly my least favorite parenting task ever: packing lunches.

5 Things You Should Always Buy at Walmart!

5 Things You Should Always Buy at Walmart!

Here it goes: I have what may be either a shameful confession or an impressive boast. Once upon a time, I worked at Walmart. Truthfully, it wasn’t the worst job I’ve had, and I found it mostly tolerable. I went in, I worked very hard and I enjoyed talking to the customers.
