Move over Valentine’s Day…February 5th is World Nutella Day. …and I’ve got two amazing Nutella desserts for you! I find it hard to believe that only a few years ago I hadn’t even tasted Nutella. Now it’s a house staple. We typically eat Nutella spread on warm English Muffins or bagels, but it is absolutely…

Pampers Deal at Walmart.com – FREE Bonus Gillette Razors #PampersJoy
With 5 kids who were each in diapers for an average of 3 years (and that doesn’t count the night-time diaper need that extended beyond regular potty training years), you’d better believe I bought my fair share of diapers. I can’t imagine how many rooms I could fill with all of the diapers my babies…
New Disney’s Iron Man 3 + Lone Ranger Sneak Peek
I may be the only person in America not tuning in to the Super Bowl this weekend but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited to tune in to the some of the pre-game entertainment (and of course the commercials)! Here’s a preview of two sneak peek videos from Disney for a couple of the movies…
“Help My Child Choose a College!” – Noodle.com Education Tools
Next Saturday, I’ll be waking up early (not my favorite thing to do on a Saturday morning) to drive my oldest daughter to a high school 20 minutes away. I’ll wait around nervously as she takes the ACT for the first time. It doesn’t seem all that long ago that I was taking the ACT…
Birthday Boy – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
Shopping for a 12 year old boy is tough. The only two things he wanted were to join a field hockey team and to have a special birthday dinner at Outback Steakhouse. The dinner was easy enough to handle, but here are NO hockey teams anywhere close to us. 12 year olds no longer play…
Step-by-Step Guide to Converting Home Movies into DVDs
In the last 17 1/2 years since I got married and had kids, I’ve gathered up quite an extensive collection of home movies. I started out using one of those enormous camcorders recording on VHS, then moved to a smaller camcorder using smaller tapes. Eventually, we bought a video recorder that used mini DVDs, and…
Birthday Cake Rice Krispie Treats
In honor of my son’s birthday, I wanted to share the recipe for these delectable rice krispie treats that I made this past weekend. The addition of dry cake mix adds a touch of flavor to the classic rice krispie treats, and the sprinkles add a touch of FUN that will draw the kids (and…
My Almost-Teenage Son. Eek! #WordlessWednesday
Tomorrow, my oldest son (baby #3) will wake up as a 12 year old. It’s already bad enough that he’s growing about a foot a month and is in high school math at the middle school. Sigh. There’s no avoiding or denying it now. I’m about to have a teenage boy in the house. Wednesday…
Monster Valentine’s Day Cards Craft Tutorial #Printables
My kids and I are just a little bit excited that Hotel Transylvania is available on DVD and Blu-ray today (shh…don’t tell, but someone who’s having a birthday tomorrow is getting this!). To celebrate the release of the DVD, my kids and I came up with a super-fun and easy craft inspired by the movie….
