Keto Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars
These Keto Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars were a hit at Thanksgiving! Most of my family is eating Keto, but even those who don’t follow a ketogenic way of eating thought these were great. I think the trick was the sweetener. Erythritol based sweeteners like Swerve have a cooling effect that my kids can often detect in baked goods. For this recipe I decided to try Monkfruit instead and it went totally undetected! I’m calling that a win! {This article includes affiliate links.

Camping Birthday Party
Happy Campers As a mom it’s always so much fun to watch your kids’ interest evolve over the years. When planning their birthdays I pay attention to what they are currently obsessed with and then I run with it. This summer while we were out hiking on our National Parks vacation, my youngest mentioned to me that maybe he would like a National Parks themed birthday party. We brainstormed ideas for a while and had fun coming up with ways to incorporate our theme, but once we got back from our trip he decided maybe a camping theme would be better. I was pretty excited for his new suggestion because I think there are so many…
