'School started for my kids last week and in an effort to alleviate the morning rush, I spent some time in the kitchen making breakfast burritos for our freezer. They were a HUGE hit and saved me so much time. Seriously, from freezer to plate, they take a minute or two to warm in the microwave and that''s it for breakfast prep on school mornings or work mornings or any morning when you don''t have a lot of time.

'Easy (& Inexpensive) Pumpkin Dip. This delicious fall pumpkin dip is a great dish for all your fall gatherings! The best part of this is that you can customize it a bit by adding some of your flavor. You’ll see what I mean once we get to the recipe. This is a fun recipe for kids, too, since they can help you “cook” without cooking anything! That saves the risk of being burned or dealing with anything sharp.

'By: FTM Contributor Ashley . There is a famous quote by Sophia Loren that I love – “When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.” While life for a new mom is exciting and fun, it can also be overwhelming. You constantly wonder if you’re doing everything right and if baby is healthy and happy.

'Does the cost of a four year college or university degree scare you? Are you afraid to go, and yet afraid not to go? We all have been taught that a college degree is the path to the good life, but is it still – when students are emerging with heavy debt and little chance of a lucrative job? I graduated from State U with a liberal arts degree in the early 1970s – when there was a world wide recession followed by stagflation.

'For as long as I can remember, I struggled with learning other languages. There are studies that show that children who are exposed on a regular basis to more than one language from a young age more easily pick up new languages in adulthood. I was not a child that was exposed to more than one language. Though my great-grandfather was French Canadian, and my mother knew bits and pieces of French when she was growing up, we spoke only English in our household.
