I am a member of the Invisalign Mom Advisory Board and my daughter, Necco, received her Invisalign Teen treatment for free. All thoughts are my own. I’m not sure where the last 17 months have gone, but they have definitely flown by! When Necco started her Invisalign treatment, she was finishing up her sophomore year…

Creamy Chicken Poblano Soup
My mom and sister and I have a favorite poblano chicken soup that we love to eat at a food court when we’re together every August. A few years ago, I was lamenting the fact that I couldn’t make the delicious soup at home, and my sister happened to mention that she had a similar…
Fall Favorites: Home & Harvest #BabbleBoxxFall

The Importance of Preparing for the Unexpected
Prepare for the unexpected. You never know what’s going to happen down the road. This was a concept that was emphasized regularly as I was growing up.

Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #42 – Perfectly Pumpkin Recipes
I love traveling, but at this moment, after coming home from 6 days in San Diego (with a nasty cold), I’m ready to sleep for a little while and not get on another plane for an even longer while. Maybe for the rest of the year. The right trip may persuade me to change my…
It’s Time to Check in to Hotel Bruce! #HotelBruce
Thanks to Disney for sending me Ryan T. Higgins’ new book, Hotel Bruce, and for providing a prize pack for my readers. All thoughts and opinions are my own. One of the things I’ve missed most about my kids getting older is being able to read picture books out loud with them. We still have…

This recipe for Nutella-Cheesecake Crescent Rolls is sponsored by Pillsbury but all thoughts, opinions and photos are my own. #ItsBakingSeason I love the holidays.

DIY Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub
A few weeks ago, I ran out of the homemade sugar scrub that I use almost daily when I shower, so I knew that I needed to make a new batch. Since pumpkin spice is everywhere this time of year, I thought it would be fun to see if I could make a sugar scrub…
Why Moms Will Relate to American Housewife #AmericanHousewife
I was invited to Los Angeles as part of the #QueenOfKatweEvent and #ABCTVEvent in September. While in LA, we had the opportunity to screen American Housewife as well as meet 4 of the show’s main characters – Katie Otto (Katy Mixon) and her best friends, Angela (Carly Hughes) and Doris (Ali Wong) plus Viv (Leslie…
