This is how Mother’s Day (actually the night before) started for me. It couldn’t have been better. Clean car, breakfast in bed, new yarn, and a day of relaxation. Perfection. PS – I totally shocked my car-cleaning kids when I gave permission for AJ to climb on the top of the van to clean up…
Ebates $1200 Birthday Bash
Last week, I announced that I am a new community leader in the Ebates Savvy Living Community. This week, I am partying with my fellow savvy moms as we celebrate Ebate’s 12th birthday. To celebrate their birthday, Ebates is giving one lucky Facebook fan $1200! They’ll be choosing the winner from their FB fan base…
Mother’s Day Quotes
As a tribute to my own Mother and Mothers everywhere, I’ve gathered up several quotes and poems that sum up how I feel about my own mom. Happy Mother’s Day!

Teaching Kids to Set Goals – Goal For It!
After potty training, I have always felt like training kids to do chores consistently was one of the hardest and most painful processes of parenting. It’s so much easier to just do the work myself….but I don’t have time to do everything on my own and I recognize the value of teaching kids the life…
Miss Mary’s Legacy – PSF
A year ago, my friend Mary died of cancer. I didn’t write more than a quick mention of her cancer since the day that I first heard the news. I didn’t know what to say. I still don’t know what to say, but after today, I feel like I have to say something. My heart…
My Graduation Cheering Section
I don’t remember much about my college graduation. The 4 months between taking my last final and wearing my cap and gown were a blur. Graduation seemed slightly anti-climatic after everything that had happened since I finished my last class. I can picture myself taking the long walk from my seat up to and across…
Fun with Shaving Cream – Wordless Wednesday
I never expected a can of shaving cream to bring all seven of us together at the same time, inspire so many smiles, and turn into something that the kids would be begging to do again next week. An innocent cleaning out of the bathroom closet on my part became one of the best nights…
Ask Dr. Tanya
I have been feeling crummy all week. Last week, I played doctor to three of my five kids as they vomited and moaned through their Spring Break. I’m still not sure if I’ve got an adult version of what my kids had or if my stomach pains are something altogether different. Either way you look…
Reese’s Baptism – Photostory Friday Link-up
Last Saturday, my youngest daughter, Reese, was baptized. Not only was this a special day for her in and of itself, but it was especially unique because it was the 22nd anniversary of her Daddy’s baptism, when he was a senior in high school. Despite the fact that we really missed having Grandma and Grandpa…
