When we passed through Jackson Hole, Wyoming, this summer, 5 of the 7 of us went white water rafting on the Snake River (the other 2 of us went horse back riding, which I’ll be sharing very soon, I promise!). Everyone had a blast rafting. Although they couldn’t have cameras on the raft, I…

The Everything Gluten-Free Breakfast And Brunch Cookbook
It’s not every day that I get to brag to my friends that some of my recipes have been included in a cookbook. I figured that an awesome day like this was worth bragging about…at least a little. Note: in appreciation for contributing to The Everything Gluten-Free Breakfast And Brunch Cookbook, author (and friend)…
Southwest Turkey Burgers
This post brought to you by Butterball Every Day. All opinions are 100% mine. As my kids have gotten older, I’ve noticed something – I seem to have less time than I’ve ever had to get dinner on the table. Between homework, after school activities, sports, and my own work that always carries over into…
{Give Me Your Best} Selfies in LA #PSF
OK, I realize that not all of these are selfies….but in just 2 days in Los Angeles I’ve taken and posted more pictures of myself than I have in the last 2 months. It must be the hair cut. I can’t wait to tell you all about the trip that I’m on…but for now…
Everyone Deserves a Special Day #PartyReddi
Birthdays are pretty frequent occurrence at our house, with 7 birthdays in 7 different months. I was excited participate in the Reddi-wip #PartyReddi campaign, because who doesn’t love an excuse to celebrate a birthday? Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own. No matter if we’re celebrating a first birthday or a…
Dr. Cocoa – From Coughs to Smiles #DrCocoaReliefWithASmile
It’s the curse of the school year. It seems that no sooner have the kids started back to school than the sniffles and the coughs begin. I know that my kids are not the only ones who bring EVERYTHING home from school. “Cold season” is generally considered to last from September to April, which coincides…
Brad Paisley Concert #WW
When tickets for the Brad Paisley concert at Jiffy Lube Live in Virginia went on sale on Groupon a few weeks ago, I did something a little out of character. I bought tickets for the entire family. The weather was perfect. The sky was clear. The bands were on fire. We danced and we…
How to Get Kids Excited About Reading
My mom has always been a reader. She has had an enormous library of books for as long as I can remember, and she never fails to have a recommendation for a new book for me to read. While I was staying with her this summer, we were talking about how much she loves having…
Yellowstone National Park #PSF
It’s hard to believe that I am still going through pictures from this summer’s trip. I suppose this is what happens when the 6-week-long road trip ends the day before school starts. We jumped right in to the fall routine and haven’t had a real chance to recover from the travel. Or maybe it’s…
Madame Picasso: Part Love Story, Part History #MadamePicasso
I was sent an advance copy of Madame Picasso by Anne Girard to review, but thoughts and opinions are my own. Since before I can remember having a preference, I have been a fan of historical fiction. It is my favorite type of book to read. In fact, I’ve been known to get so…
