I made this delicious and easy Italian Wedding Soup using Johnsonville® Meatballs as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. All opinions are my own. Spaghetti and meatballs is a family favorite. A classic. A wonderful stand-by, welcome-anytime meal. But spaghetti is far from the only thing that meatballs are good for. I’ve made 15-minute…

The 2015 Washington Auto Show {Win a Family 4-Pack of Tickets!}
Two years ago, about this time of year, I attended my very first Auto Show. This coming week, I will be attending the Washington Auto Show – my second auto show ever – as a Chevy Ambassador with a few of my favorite DC-area bloggers and I am beyond thrilled. The only way that…
Instagram It! Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
I’ve practically given up on myself taking any photos of note anymore (unless I’m traveling, of course). I scroll through the photos I’ve taken each week and see a whole lot of food and not much else. My phone, of course, is a different story. A few weeks ago, I decided to do step…

This collection of Weight Watchers-friendly meals is sponsored by Foodie.com, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Even though I am currently working on a campaign with Weight Watchers, this post and collection are in no way endorsed by Weight Watchers. I am just personally interested and invested in finding (and sharing!) great…
How Your Phone Can Help You Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions
This post is sponsored by AT&T GoPhone, but all opinions, tips, and app recommendations are my own. AT&T GoPhone has not endorsed any of the recommended apps or non-GoPhone products in this post. It wasn’t too long ago that I would have called myself a staunch New Year’s Resolution avoider. I hated the idea…
Toffee Cupcakes with Browned Butter Frosting
I was heading to a party this past Saturday night and had made somewhat healthy appetizers to bring along (that recipe will be coming soon). After licking so much black bean-cheesy goodness off my fingers, I got hungry for something sweet, so I headed downstairs to my food supply shelves to see what kinds…
Easy Valentine’s Day Craft: “I Love You Because…” Dry Erase Frame
About a week ago, before my oldest daughter left to go back to college after the winter break, she and I broke out all of our crafting supplies, turned on a movie in the kitchen, and crafted together. What a fun way to end our vacation! Since Kim tends to have better ideas than…
Ringing in the New Year With Cousins #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
The holidays didn’t feel like the holidays until my family drove up to Pennsylvania for a last-minute New Year’s Day party with my sister’s family. We pulled together a silly gift exchange (with a couple of real gifts mixed in there, too), threw together a traditional taco dinner on the fly, and had a…
Veggie Crunch Salad {Weight Watchers 2 PointsPlus}
I was shopping at Trader Joe’s yesterday and was offered a sample. Never one to turn down a Trader Joe’s sample, I took a bite and was amazed. I don’t typically grab the sample products as readily as I did yesterday, but I HAD to make this salad at home. Not only was it full…
Tips For Collecting Box Tops for Education #foodlionboxtops
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Food Lion® via Burst Media. The opinions and text are mine. When my oldest daughter started kindergarten more than a dozen years ago, I became aware of Box Tops for Education. As a young mother with a bunch of little ones at home,…
