Tips to Make Homemade Olive Oil Vinaigrette

This post is a sponsored conversation brought to you by Flavor Your Life campaign and Moms Meet. All opinions are my own.

 Being the frugal mom that I am, I love ways to save money while still dressing things up. Making your own dressings is a great way to not only save money, but you can also make your dressings as flavorful as you want and you don't have to sacrifice quality. The best and easiest to make dressing is an olive oil vinaigrette.


The key to an awesome vinaigrette is 1 part vinegar to 3 parts olive oil and add salt, pepper to taste. Olive oil should just be a staple in every kitchen. It is so versatile. Because Olive oil has a high smoke point (400° F), it can handle anything from a light sauté to a deep (and deeply flavorful) fry. You can bake with olive oil, as well. You can even preserve roasted veggies or use it to moisturize dry skin!

And My Baby Turns Four {PJ Masks Birthday Party Ideas}

I had a hard time with this one for multiple reasons. My son is our last "planned" baby. Right now at least, we don't have any plans for another. My husband and I don't know if that will change, but we are content with not having another baby right now. So my son turning four was hard. He officially isn't a baby or toddler anymore.



Another reason this was a hard birthday was because the planning. PJ Masks is a popular theme. There wasn't very much décor out there that fit within our budget. I agreed to do this them before I knew this, but thanks to Pinterest, I found a ton of DIY décor ideas. I don't know about other people BUT when I make things myself instead of buying it, that means more stress. My mother-in-law did help me by making his homemade PJ Masks shirt.

Gift Ideas to Fill The Kiddos' Easter Baskets

Easter is right around the corner. How do you celebrate? We believe in the Easter bunny and I love giving my kids baskets. They have personalized ones that they set out the night before. We also get together with all of my combined family and have a huge Easter egg hunt.


We love to read a book I have explaining the importance of the holiday as well. Everyone brings a dish and we have a wonderful lunch too. I love how it has grown. It started out as me just wanting to make sure that I have a special holiday for my mom and now it has grown to so much family getting together and celebrating. Since Easter is so close, I have compiled a list of great gift ideas to fill the kiddos' Easter baskets!
