This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Slim-Fast for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I used to never have to watch what I ate. I could eat anything (and I mean anything) and never worry about gaining weight. That all changed when I turned 30 and had my 5th child….
Finding My Inspiration – Photostory Friday – Give Me Your Best Shot
I haven’t been taking many pictures lately. In fact, I feel like I keep saying that. Week after week I find myself coming up empty when I go looking for “my best shot.” Today, tired and full of anxiety (which has been particularly bad lately), I cleaned my house to get ready for a non-time…
How Do Board Games Increase Family Bonding?
Just recently, I talked about how much CandyMan and I loved playing board games when we were dating and in the early years of our marriage. We took a little break from playing many games after we started having kids. We were tired and there were little hands interested in grabbing game pieces and messing…
Convert Your Family Movies to DVD with YesVideo
This post has been sponsored by YesVideo, but all opinions are my own. Watching old home movies is one of our Sunday evening past times. My kids love (and I mean LOVE) seeing themselves and their siblings “way back when.” I love it too (boy, does it take me back!!) but I admit that I…
Teaching Kids the Value of Managing Money Wisely
Of all the things I’ve taught my kids, especially those things I’ve taught them over the last few years of financial struggle in our family, one of the most valuable lessons has been that of frugal living. I was raised with plenty. I never considered my family rich, but we had everything we needed. Before…
Black Friday Newbie – GMYBS – Photostory Friday
Apparently, cooking all day and then nearly passing out after dinner from pure exhaustion and turkey-coma caused me to completely forget about posting Photostory Friday and Give Me Your Best Shot. And waking up at 2:30 to tackle my very first Black Friday line in front of a mall didn’t help my memory. Of course,…
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! Once a year is simply not often enough to express my gratitude for the abundance that I enjoy. In fact, just yesterday I was talking with a friend who called to check up on me. She has known me well enough (and for long enough) to know just how difficult the last few…
A Week of Thanksgiving – Books
Thomas Jefferson once said, “I cannot live without books.” I don’t remember learning how to read, but I remember reading. My mom read to me daily. She read books like Where the Red Fern Grows and A Wrinkle in Time. We read them over and over. And then I found my own books and devoured…
LiveOn – Preserving Family Memories
Thank you to LiveOn for this sponsored opportunity to blog about storing and sharing my most important memories with those closest to me. Although story ideas were provided, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Last night, my kids sat downstairs, gathered around the television. They laughed. They oohed and ahhed. They giggled some more….
A Week of Thanksgiving – A Job
I have a lot to be thankful for. I really do. The problem is….lately I tend to overlook my blessings and focus on the stresses that are so overbearing. When my friend Andrea from Lil-Kids-Things told me about A Week of Thanksgiving, I knew this was an exercise I needed for myself. Today, I am…
