Halloween is coming, and with the holiday inevitably comes candy. I admit–I’ve got a sweet tooth. And that’s precicely the reason why I try not to have candy in the house. I would eat it all. I also don’t love the idea of my kids eating candy all the time. And I know they will….

Give Me Your Best Shot
I have a few favorite shots to share this week. I always have a hard time narrowing down pictures when I have a photo shoot. This particular shot of this bride-to-be really caught my eye. And, honestly, I wasn’t sure about this next picture when I took it. What’s with chopping heads off, anyway? I…
Parent’s Choice
Before I start, I want to mention that this is a paid post thru Social Spark. The thoughts & opinions are mine. It has been a while since I’ve had to purchase infant formula for my babies…..My babies aren’t exactly babies anymore. But trust me, I’ve done my time. I’ve had my experience. And I…

Brown Bagging It
One of my least favorite things about sending my kids off to school (or camp during the summer) is fixing bagged lunches for 5 kids. There is nothing fun for me about slapping 10 pieces of bread with some combination of peanut butter, honey, butter, cinnamon, mayo, cheese, and ham. One kid likes peanut butter…
Danielson Designs – Tribute & Giveaway
I don’t often pay tribute to a business, but then again it isn’t often that I come across a business that resonates with me like Danielson Designs does. I was approached last month about reviewing a custom made sign or frame from Danielson Designs, and thought I’d check out their site. I instantly loved their…
The Perfect Day
The only thing that could have made last Thursday any better would have been a surprise visit from my mom. It was her birthday (and, yes, I did remember to call her to wish her a happy day). Instead of partying with Mom, which would have been ideal, Mom celebrated with Dad in Lake Tahoe…
