My first baby was born in December 1996. For the next 10 years, my life was consumed by babies, diapers, bottles, breast, and baby food, doctors visits, and many late-night hours rocking children to back to sleep. I loved it, but it was hard work and a whole lot of information for my tired brain…
Healthy and Wholesome Progresso #Giveaway
If you’ve been following me at all this year, you’ll probably know that I am on a quest to live a more healthy life style. I’m exercising several times a week, I’m drinking more water, I’m {trying} to get more sleep (yes, this is something I am still working on), and I am watching what…
Fit From the Farm
It’s not too often that I get to have a one-on-one date with one of my kids. They’re at school during the day and we’re busy (or together) at night. So the other day, when Reese was home from school recovering from an ear infection, I decided to take advantage of some mom and me…
Ice at the Gaylord National Resort
I don’t even know where to begin in describing my weekend. I was tempted to make this a truly WordLESS Wednesday post, but there are too many things I need to say about our adventure to the National Harbor. A few weeks ago, two friends invited the whole family to see something called “Ice” at…
Foods to Fight the Cold and Flu
My kids headed back to school yesterday….all except one. Reese was home sick (and will be again today) with a cough, stuffy nose, and fever. Unfortunately, from here on out (at least until Spring is in full force) I will no longer be able to make plans outside the house. Inevitably, during the Winter, if…
The Best Christmas Craft Project Ever!
My kids and I traditionally decorate our Christmas tree together each December. This year, however, we took decorating the Christmas tree to a whole new level and created something that we will hopefully be keeping around as a Christmas decoration for years to come. We were sent a recycled cardboard Christmas tree from Cascades Boutique…
Tempur-Cloud Pillow from Tempur-pedic
I sleep with 3 pillows: a shaped memory foam pillow for my head and neck, a well-loved body pillow that I got for Mother’s Day 1999, and a squishy pillow for my back. If CandyMan happens to fall asleep before me and takes one of my pillows, I WILL wake him up to steal it…
Daily Disposable Contacts by Bausch+Lomb
Necco has been wearing glasses for about 3 years, and honestly never really complained about it until big sister, KitKat, got contacts over the summer. KitKat adores her contacts, and as you might expect from a younger sister, Necco was envious of them. The tables turned a little in November when Necco had a mid-year…
Kaplan Tutoring – One Month Free
Raise your hand if you feel inadequately prepared to help your children succeed in school? Have you ever faced a child’s homework assignment that looked like it was written in a foreign language? As a college-educated woman with a degree in education, I was confident that I would be able to help my kids with…
Teaching Kids to Manage Money
As my children have gotten older, one of the biggest challenges that I have faced has been teaching them financial responsibility and the true value and meaning of money. My younger kids have occassionally asked me for money for one thing or another, and when I’ve answered that I don’t have money for that right…
