A Glimpse: Summer Fun Day

June 14, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

To close out the month of May and get a jumpstart on summer fun, the family and I packed it up and headed to Busch Gardens for a summer fun day. Busch Gardens is where I went almost every summer as I was growing up and, during college, I had season passes so I could visit all the time. Now, we are a little farther away but we like to go and take the kids at least once a year.

As we drove in, we were greeted by famouns Loch Ness Monster roller coaster. I was trying to convince Maya to ride it with me but wasn’t being too successful.

Our first stop was Germany so we could all grab some lunch. There is nothing like the refuge of Oktoberfest’s air conditioning and delicious food when you are hot and hungry! With full stomachs, it was time to hit the rides.

Make It Your Own Pizza Night

June 10, 2014 By Shannah Coe 18 Comments

Weeknights are pretty busy for us in general but now that summer has hit, we seem to squeeze in even more. School ends this week and we’ve been in a summer state of mind since at least mid-May. Now, the kids hit the pool most afternoons and stroll in right as the dinner “bell” sounds. Of course, I’ve spent the day working and commuting home in the heat so I’m not too interested in standing in a front of a hot stove. So, I turn to options like DIGIORNO® oven ready pizzas.

Snack Time

June 7, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Now that the weather is warm and the days are long, we spend a ton of time outdoors. Sometimes we have a BBQ or other type of party planned but most of the time we are just hanging around watching the kids play. After a little while, what we have for snack is usually where the conversation turns. I am always looking for something that tastes great, is good for you and is also something the kids will eat. On a recent, gorgeous morning, I decided that snack time would be the perfect time to introduce them to my new favorite snack bars.

Shannah’s Test Kitchen: Relished Cashew Chicken Stir Fry

June 4, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

I’m excited to share with you an innovative idea for getting dinner on the table. While this post was compensated, all thoughts and opinions are completely my own.

So, this month’s test kitchen post is a little different. You see, the last two months have been absolutely insane around here. I traved in April and May on top of all my regular to do stuff so things just got a little out of hand. So, not much actual cooking was happening in Casa de Co.

I had talked to the people over at Relished Foods before about their awesome service where they give you all the stuff you need for recipes {delivered to your door} to make cooking dinner just a little easier. When May hit and I took a look at my calendar, I realized it was the perfect time to try out the service. Looking over the menu, the organic cashew chicken stir fry really jumped out at me.

Refresh Your Home with Haverty’s

May 19, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

I am so excited to partner with Havertys to share ideas on how to refresh your home this spring. As always, all thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.

Spring is the time of year where I always have a major itch to update things around the house. I want fresh colors and to liven up my spaces after the long winter. During H’s gymnastics class recently, I stopped into my local Havertys store to see what they had to offer to help me change up my space for the new season.

Breakfast on the Go in Under 2 Minutes

May 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 8 Comments

How much time do you get for breakfast each morning? If we are talking most weekday mornings, I get somewhere between 2-3 minutes to make breakfast before I have to rush out of the door. That doesn’t leave me a ton of options and, if I am looking for nutritious and wholesome meals, the amount of options available is even less. It turns out that there is an option for a breakfast on the go in under 2 minutes that is not only delicious, but also includes quality ingredients like real cheeses and fresh eggs along with high quality sausage, ham and chicken.

DIY Two Layer Stenciled Pillow

May 8, 2014 By Shannah Coe 6 Comments

I am so excited to work with Tulip for your Home on this project. While I was compensated for this work, all thoughts, opinions, and projects expressed here are my own. #tulipforyourhome

We are still working on the room redo we started last year as H’s 6th birthday present. Yep…almost a full year ago we started this process and we are still.not.done. I could go into a million reasons why but a lot of it is just plain not having enough hours in the day. The other issue is that H has very specific thoughts and ideas about her room and I want to try and implement them in some way whenever possible. When I had the chance to work with Tulip for your Home, I jumped at it because I thought it would be a fun way to personalize something for her room. Using their stencils and new paint, we created a DIY two layer stenciled pillow that goes perfectly in her space.

A Glimpse: Mother’s Day

May 1, 2014 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cardstore.

Mother’s Day is just over a week away. Every time Mathlete and I start to discuss plans for Mother’s Day, I am reminded of six years ago when I first became a mom. Talk about a complete shock?! Being a mom is crazy hard but also super rewarding. Growing up, I didn’t always have the greatest relationship with my mom because well…I’m female and was probably a super emotional brat back then. Thankfully, as I grew up, I really started to recognize how awesome my mom is and how hard she worked to make my life as amazing as she possibly could. I definitely credit her with so much of who I am today {well, all the good parts…she totally could have spared a little patience and passed it along though because I definitely lack that}.

I mean, don’t you wish you had these two for parents?! They take funny selfies in fast food restaurants.

Thai Green Curry Chicken Burritos

April 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 9 Comments

Let’s talk about all the things I can throw into a tortilla, shall we? This week is Thai green curry chicken. Yep, you read that right: Thai…Burritos. This whole crazy burrito thing start when I stopped in at Giant the other day to pick up rolls only they carry. I was struggling with how to spice up our chicken for dinner and saw Campbell’s skillet sauces. I love anything that makes dinner easier but actually adds good flavors to the meal so I grabbed the Thai green curry version and hit the checkout line. Of course, I rarely do anything just as the package says and so their suggestion to serve the meal over a rice totally went out the window in my kitchen.
