First, you’ll make a combination of milk and oats to soften them into an oatmeal-like consistency. The softened oats and milk get blended up with banana, cold-brewed coffee, and maple syrup. Cold-brewed coffee is usually in the refrigerated drinks section of grocery stores. But, if you can’t find it, you could also substitute chilled home-brewed coffee or espresso.

A home inspection, on the other hand, determines whether there are any structural issues in the home (and outside of it). Yes, an inspection will cost you (the average cost is $200 to $400, according to Bankrate), but those few hundred dollars can potentially save you a lot of money down the line. “In this super-competitive housing market, waiving a home inspection can be appealing for buyers seeking to make their offers more attractive to sellers who have plenty to choose from—but buyers do so at their financial peril,” says Clare Trapasso, real estate expert at Realtor....

Designed to be used while sitting down, the DeskCycle Ellipse seemed like an easy way to stay active while working from home. Putting it together was extremely simple—all I had to do was attach the foot pedals and hook on the LCD screen. There are eight resistance settings so you can adjust the intensity of your workout; I generally keep mine on level five or six so I’m not too out of breath....

If you haven’t figure it out already from my Easter bark and my mini egg cheesecakes that look like little nests, I like themed Easter treats. And these Easter bunny cupcakes are the one of my new favorites because they’re so simple to make but also just plain cute. Kind of like these fun carrot cake balls turned into bunny tails! I mean is there really anything cuter than a bunny?...

A few weeks ago I posted one of my favorite cut out sugar cookie recipes. I’ll be sharing another cream cheese sugar cookie soon but the main thing both have in common – they are better topped with sugar cookie icing! Sure, you could get some store-bought frosting to add to your cookies. But homemade icing is way better! Plus, you can pipe it on in all sorts of designs and fun colors!...

Cattle produce staggering amounts of methane, one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases. They do this mostly through burping, a necessary product of the ruminal fermentation they use to digest grass. Through their manure, cattle produce nitrous oxide, another potent greenhouse gas. Cattle ranches also need large tracts of land, prompting deforestation. As trees are razed for herds, carbon dioxide escapes into the atmosphere. Finally, many cattle operations feed animals more than grass....

New Year’s Eve Trivia Games One of my favorite traditions each year is creating printable New Year’s Eve games based on pop culture, sports, and news events from the year.

Let’s face it – winter break can get really long. I don’t know about your schools but our kids here have almost three weeks off and that three weeks is a long three weeks. Most of our friends and neighbors will be traveling, so that means a lot of family time. Don’t get me wrong, I love family time, but I also love a little peace and quiet sometimes. These Christmas activity sheets are perfect for keeping little hands entertained while you need to get something done like make almond chicken for dinner or whip up a batch of these hot chocolate cupcakes!...

Out of the Blue Gift Box Ideas If you’ve ever heard of the different love languages, I’m totally a gifts person. Gifts, especially surprise ones, are my favorite way to tell someone I’m thinking about them. These out of the blue gift box ideas are a fun way to do just that – tell someone you’re thinking of them – with no specific occasion or reason. It’s even better than a birthday gift because it’s not something that someone will be expecting....
