After mentioning about a million times that Menu Planning is essential to not only save a lot of money on food but to ease the stress in mom’s everyday life, I figured it’s about time I actually shared a few links to really help you out. There are a ton of menu planning options available, [...]
The big game day has come and gone, but there’s always the next event to celebrate with friends and family and around here food is a big deal. For boys, food seems to be a large part of any event and they look forward to it immensely. For me, keeping it yummy and simple [...]
Around here lunch time can be monotonous. My poor kids pretty much eat mac and cheese, chicken nuggest, pb&j or some other equally unexciting meal everyday. It’s not for lack of imagination so much as it is lack of time (and energy!)! Luckily, I have been introduced to FunBites! FunBites makes these adorable food cutters [...]
The holidays can be a time of fun, laughter, anticipation and joy. But all too often, it’s also filled with frustration, stress and dread as we attempt to be too many things to too many people. Today I found a solution, but you have to hurry to get the discount price. Today only if you [...]
Did you know that September is national Honey month??? Yeah, I didn’t either, but I was blissfully surprised and thrilled when I not only learned about it, but was asked to interview Chef David Guas on behalf of the National Honey Board.

It’s that time of year again, football season has just arrived and with it our summer schedule begins a lightning-fast progression toward the beginning of school. Fall and football just go hand in hand around here, but just today I yet again caught myself beginning to analyze everything my boys are eating. Sports are an [...]
Since I’m such a newbie at the whole Bento lunch idea myself, I dare not present it to you as an informed expert, but there are some amazing mommies out there that have been busy doing this bento thing for their kiddos for a long time. It’s time to bring them in (willingly or not) [...]
As we talk about Back-to-school we simply have to mention lunches. This year I’m going to do a little more than mention it though as we delve into great lunch ideas and in an effort to go completely green in the lunch department, Bento will be key. From supplies to recipes and great sites for [...]
Boys definitely have a tendency to think they are starving… ALL.THE.TIME. It doesn’t just kick in during the pre-teen years, nope, it starts at birth with many of them (though it kicks in a little later for a few). Since I do not have an “open kitchen” policy, we occasionally have some interesting moments! You [...]
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6). This blog is a little piece of my life, a large piece of my sanity and even a bit of my heart thrown in. There are days I laugh … Read more
