This morning I decided to let my kids benefit from this blogging mom’s desire to review movies. After dropping my oldest off at work and berry picking for an hour (I’ve got the thorns to prove it) we headed off to the theater for an early matinee showing of TURBO, Dreamworks Animations’ newest movie…

DreamWorks Pictures’ THE FIFTH ESTATE Trailer
I just found out about a new movie coming out this fall – The Fifth Estate – (just in time for my birthday weekend, in fact!) that sounds like so much fun. A movie staring Benedict Cumberbatch? Yes, please! I am not being compensated in any way to share this trailer for the new…
Underwater! Wordless Wednesday
I love my underwater camera during the summer! I grabbed these shots while sitting at the side of the pool while the kids enjoyed a refreshing dip in the water. Seven Clown Circus | Parenting By Dummies | Project Alicia | Angry Julie Monday | Live and Love Outloud | The Paper Mama |…
Back-to-School Survival Tips
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Bright Star Kids. The opinions and text are all mine. If you count preschool and each of my kids individually, I figured that we have survived 40 (forty!!) back-to-school seasons. That’s 40 first days of school. Back-to-school shopping times 40. Picking out first-day-of-school outfits…
Nutella Rocky Road Rice Krispie Treats
I was chatting with a friend last night about the new varieties of Rice Krispie Treats that I made this week and it dawned on me….I sound rather obsessed with rice krispie treat making. I love them because they are so versatile, so quick to make, very cheap, and require no baking. Last week, I…

Newborn Baby Girl: Pink Toes and Hair Bows #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
I love taking pictures. I think anyone who reads my blog regularly knows that. I don’t claim to be a great photographer, though I do like some of the pictures I take and I do know my way around a camera. But it all comes back to the fact that I love taking pictures….
S’mores Bars Recipe
Like most Americans, I’m sure, I adore the taste of chocolate, graham crackers, and gooey marshmallows together. And I’m also sure I’m not alone in dreading the hassle that it is to make s’mores. Classic over-the-campfire s’mores are great when you’re camping, but what about when you’re at home…in your air conditioned kitchen? I had…
VTech Connect to Cell Home Phone System
Note: I received a VTech Connect to Cell™ 2-phone answering system with cordless headset to review from SheSpeaks. All thoughts and opinions included in this post are my own. We currently have 5 cell phones in our home. One for me, two for my husband (personal and business), one for my oldest daughter who recently…
The Haircut – #WordlessWednesday
It’s haircut time! My 2nd daughter has been itching to get her hair cut really short, and yesterday we finally bit the bullet and get it chopped off. It’s quite a drastic change, although she always wore her long hair in a ponytail so it wasn’t quite as shocking. Have you (or one of…
