Clean First: The Secret to Tackling Projects at Home

Wednesday, August 5, 2015 by Lolli

This post is sponsored by Puracyn® Plus Duo-Care Wound and Skin Cleanser but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Just last week, I got back from a 27-day family road trip. We played hard…and then we came home. As much as I love being home (there’s really no place like it!) coming home…

Homemade Kettle Corn

Tuesday, August 4, 2015 by Lolli 6 Comments

This past week, my 10-year-old decided that he wanted to learn how to make kettle corn, so he did what he always does when he has a question about how to make or how to do something. If I haven’t mentioned it before, this kid loves to learn how things work. He is ever-curious…

August Blog Prompts {12 Months of Writing Ideas} #BlogPrompts

Sunday, August 2, 2015 by Lolli Leave a Comment

I’m happy to say that the summer is NOT flying by…though I wouldn’t be surprised if I felt differently at the end of the month of August. Spending the entire month of July on the road (literally) was pretty intense. Exhausting, exciting, enlightening, invigorating. We saw so much of the country, completely different from…

I had the opportunity to drive a 2015 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD for a week recently. No compensation was received. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Many thanks to Mazda for loaning me the car! Snapshots of the car are from my phone. Professional images are courtesy of Mazda. It’s not often that…

After 25 days of being on the road, we are finally on the final stretch of our journey back home. We’re heading home! We’ve had so much fun this summer that it’s hard to want to go home…but there’s something special about home. My own bed. My own computer. My own refrigerator (no more…

Where Will Reading Take You? #SummerReading

This Summer Reading post and giveaway are sponsored by Scholastic, but all thoughts are my own. This summer has taken us ALL over the place, from Maryland to Florida to Utah to Colorado….and lots of places in between. We’ve had a bunch of adventures, and we’ve taken our books along with us for even…

The Perfect Alabama Road Trip

Friday, July 24, 2015 by Lolli

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Alabama Tourism. The opinions and text are all mine. We’re still in the middle of our family’s summer road trip, so it should come as no surprise that we are big fans of the road trip vacation. Last year, I traveled to Alabama…

Cousin Time #PSF

The kids have been loving the time they’ve had with their cousins this week at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. Like last summer, when all 16 of us were living under one roof for the summer, the house is kind of chaotic, but it’s a good chaos. Between the water park and the hot tub…

15-Minute Grilled Kabobs

Thursday, July 23, 2015 by Lolli 8 Comments

I’m so glad you’re here! This recipe for easy 15-minute grilled kabobs is sponsored by Target but all thoughts and opinions are my own. I’m convinced that summer was made for grilling. Or grilling was made for summer. Whichever way you look at it, there’s nothing more perfect for a summer dinner than meats and…
