Homemade Kids Meals Quick, Easy and Healthier than Store-bought Options Simply Made Eats by Tara It's Summertime, which means I've been watching my kids grab unhealthy snacks from the fridge, freezer and pantry on repeat. Anyone else experiencing this?! They are 10 and 14 and the only option is not buying them, which I'm also doing currently.

The Father's Day Menu & a Furry Surprise 🐶 Simply Made Eats by Tara We got a puppy and she's soooooo cute.

This weekend is Father's Day and...

Memorial Day Meal Plan Easy to Make Crowd Favorites Simply Made Eats by Tara I'm not going to lie, the last few weeks were absolute torture, but I'm coming out strong. I had two dental extractions, followed by braces put on, then a dry socket and finished off strong with an infection in my gums. Life just kept throwing curveballs at me, and I'm hoping we're done for a bit. It also had me thinking about how grateful I am for my health and I should appreciate it more. The kids got out of school...

Red flag people...Red flag! OMG 😳 I'm making...
