Mom Hack
Here's my all-time favorite mom-hack, courtesy of my hubby, furniture pads on doors.
What's worse than tip-toeing away from a sleeping child's room, only to jolt them awake with a door's slam?
Thanks to the clever pad placement, noisy door frames are history!
These bumpers look like they may be an even better solution made specifically for doors.

Kid-Friendly Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
ymmytoddlerfood
Who says comfort food can't also be healthy?
The answer to your mealtime prayers, we have a wholesome, toddler-friendly Cauliflower Mac and Cheese recipe that is guaranteed to be loved by all.
This isn't just any mac and cheese - it's a delicious sneak attack of cauliflower goodness that your little ones won't even notice!
Ingredients
Pasta (any small shape your kids prefer)
Cauliflower (a head, florets, or rice)
Shredded Cheddar Cheese (white or yellow)
Milk (Whole, almond, or your preference, unsweetened)
Butter
A Pinch of Garlic Powder (Optional)
Steps
Cauliflower Prep: Cut your cauliflower into florets, and boil them in a large pot until they are tender.
Saucy Magic: Remove the cauliflower and blend it with milk, cheese, butter, salt, and garlic powder until smooth.
Pasta Time: In the same boiling water, cook your chosen pasta. Once cooked, drain and return to the pot.
Mix It Up: Stir in the cauliflower-cheese sauce into your pasta. Adjust to your kids' cheesiness preference!

This heavenly Cauliflower Mac and Cheese can be prepped ahead, and the sauce can be stored for up to three days.
For a dairy-free version, switch to nondairy milk and cheese.
If garlic's not their thing, you can omit the garlic powder or replace it with onion powder or black pepper.
Swap cheddar with gouda, pepper-jack, or gruyere to switch up the flavors.
To end on a cheesy note, let's say this Cauliflower Mac and Cheese recipe is 'grate'! 😏
Now, go bring smiles to those little faces.
