Tonight was the annual Blue and Gold Banquet for my Cub Scout son. It has been a few years since we’ve has a Blue and Gold since my older son moved on to Boy Scouts a while ago. This year’s Blue and Gold theme was Inventiveness (or Inventors or Inventions or something like that)……

Sponsored Video: How to Make Cleaning Fun
This post has been sponsored by Glad Black Bag, but all opinions are my own. I was just talking with a friend on Sunday about the fact that getting kids to clean up their messes doesn’t get easier as they get older. We both had really hoped that it would. When the kids were little,…
Kristen Bell Speaks Out Against #Pedorazzi
Last week, I had the opportunity to talk on the phone with Kristen Bell. No compensation was received…unless you count the fact that I am a huge fan of Veronica Mars and I was dying (read: giddy) about the chance to talk to Kristen for the second time in just a few months. OK,…
Science Fair 2014 #WW
The 2014 elementary school Science Fair has come and gone…and my inclination is to shout “thank goodness!” Reese was excited to participate this year and completed her project and poster with a friend from school – 100% on their own. If nothing else, I was so impressed that Reese and her friend had the…
Lemon Meringue Pie
I love pies. Love them. When I turned 16, I asked my mom to make me pies instead of cakes for my birthday from then on. Seriously, I need to limit the number of pies that I allow myself to be around because I WILL eat them. Especially cream pies. Creamy and chocolate, creamy and…
Muppets MOST WANTED Printable Activity Sheets
Muppets Most Wanted activity sheets have been shared via Disney – I didn’t create these printables, nor am I being compensated in any way for sharing them. They are simply here for the enjoyment of my readers’ kids (and thus a few minutes of sanity to the moms and dad out there. Provided free…
Spinach and Artichoke Chicken with Creamy Pasta
This post brought to you by Giant Eagle. All opinions are 100% mine. I love to create from-scratch meals for my family, but sometimes it's just not feasible. Time and energy definitely play a factor in whether or not I put a fresh-cooked dinner on the table. Rather than reaching for pizza, frozen foods, or…
Pesto Chicken Pasta #15MinuteSuppers
I almost thought I was out of ideas for quick dinners this week…but I had a moment of inspiration for lunch the other day and whipped up this delicious pasta dish. What’s better (and, yes, I did think of this while I was preparing it!) it’s made up of lots of green ingredients to…
Winter Photo Walk {PSF Give Me Your Best Shot}
Despite the fact that I had a streak of bad luck with ice this week (read all about my crazy walk to school here) I was eager to get out of the house with my friend, Lisa, today when she asked if I’d like to have a “date” with our cameras. Lisa and I…
One Night Without Lights Challenge #IKEABrighterLives
I was talking to a friend on the phone before we embarked on our One Night Without Lights challenge. “But WHY? You’re doing this…voluntarily?” She couldn’t understand why I would subject the whole family to a night without the use of any lights. The story behind the Night Without Lights Challenge: To begin, go scan…
