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…
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…
Valentine’s Day Class Party 2014 {Wordless Wednesday}
Because we were buried under a ton of fresh snow on Valentine’s Day (2 more snow days – joy!), the two youngest kids just barely had their Valentine’s Day class parties today…after a 2 hour delayed opening this morning because of even MORE snow. Snow! Argh! Reese convinced me to hand over my big…
Smelly Car? Try PERK Vent Wraps
This post brought to you by PERK. All opinions are 100% mine. My sister and her family live in the next state over and we try to make the 2 hour drive to visit them as often as possible. My kids love their cousins (including the two dog-cousins) and time is the only thing holding…
College Application Tips #IntelTablets
When my oldest daughter started her senior year of high school, she made it clear that she needed a computer of her own. I had figured that I would have to break down and buy her a laptop sometimes before she headed off to school…but I was hoping to be able to delay that…

Do Valentine’s Day “Just Right” at Outback Steakhouse
Here’s a little secret you may or may not know about me. I love food. (Ok, so maybe that wasn’t much of a secret)…I love cooking good food, but even MORE, I love eating good food at restaurants. That’s why I was absolutely 100% onboard when I was invited to be an Outback Steakhouse…
The Swiffer Sweep & Trap #NewFromSwiffer
This post introducing the #NewFromSwiffer Swiffer Sweep & Trap is sponsored by Swiffer through SheSpeaks, but all thoughts, photos, and video are my own. I can get my kids to load and unload the dishwasher (in fact, I make them do it everyday). They rarely complain about vacuuming the family room floor. They don’t…
Valentine’s Day Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats
If you’ve been following my recipes for the past year or so, you’ll know that I have a “thing” for rice krispie treats. For 38 years, I only ever made plain rice krispie treats until – BAM – I discovered that I could add different ingredients and flavors to make all-new, totally unique treats. It…
