I was a happy YesVideo customer before I was asked to be an ambassador, and I have maintained a friendly relationship with them even after my ambassadorship ended. While this post is sponsored by YesVideo, I want to stress that I am a loyal customer first. And…

Cuban Pork Chops
My intention when I made this Cuban pork chops recipe for my family was not to share it on the blog. I really just wanted to make something simple, eat it, and enjoy a relaxing evening with a full belly. I was actually looking forward to a meal with no responsibilities other than to…
Frozen On Blu-ray/DVD PLUS *New* Frozen Activity Sheets and Coloring Pages
Note: I received a review copy of Frozen on DVD/Blu-ray a few weeks before the DVD release. All thoughts are my own. I’m guessing that unless you’ve been living under a rock (which you aren’t because you’re reading this on the internet…not really popular with those rock-dwellers), you’ve probably either seen Frozen once or…
Veronica Mars Movie Review
I will start this off with a confession: I am a Marshmallow. Now, to someone who has never watched the TV series Veronica Mars this confession will not have any meaning. To a fellow Marshmallow, it means a lot. I only became a Veronica Mars fan after meeting Kristen Bell in Hollywood back in…
Chicken Cordon Bleu Paninis #15MinuteSuppers
Do you ever discover a new recipe that is such a hit with everyone in the family that people ask for it again and again…the same week? THIS is that recipe. It all started with a ham. I had cooked a ham for dinner and had too many leftovers. The ham got me thinking…
Birthday Traditions {PSF Give Me Your Best Shot}
Birthdays are kind of a big deal around here. Especially when you’re a kid. This week, we celebrated my youngest daughter’s 11th birthday. For some odd reason, she wasn’t in the mood to let anyone know about it – she wanted to keep the birthday completely hush-hush. But not at home. At home, she…
DIY Photo Blocks {Easy Craft Tutorial}
Photo Blocks: an easy DIY craft project that uses your favorite family pictures and turns them into beautiful decor for your house! I love finding simple crafts that add a personal touch to my home. The problem is that I have a tendency towards complete unoriginality when it comes to crafting. Give me a pattern…
Every Girl Needs a Hero: Favorite Books with Strong Female Characters
I love to read. I always have. So many of my favorite childhood memories involve books, whether it was my mom reading out loud to me in the living room or I was all alone, propped up in bed with an extra pillow or two. Although this post is sponsored by SkinnyScoop, I have…
11 on the 11th #WordlessWednesday
My little girl, Reese, turned 11 today – 11 on the 11th of March! Between present-opening, a special mom and daughter lunch, dinner out with the family, and cake and ice cream before bed, it was a busy day. I think she enjoyed it, though. I still can’t get over how much she has…
Mr. Clean Liquid Muscle #MrCleanMorePower
This post is sponsored by Mr. Clean through SheSpeaks but all thoughts and embarrassing messes are my own. As I was uploading the *before* pictures, my oldest daughter came into my room and peeked at my computer. “You should tell them that we staged these messes. We did that on purpose,” she suggested. Oh yes….
