It was our first year of marriage. I had been a full-time college student for the past 3 years and had not had a car at school. So the wedding gift from my parents – a used Ford Tempo – was a huge treat. My biggest challenge was not getting back into the swing…
Slipping on Ice – Recreating the Viral Video
I kid you not. After I had fallen flat on my butt not once but twice before I made it to the cross walk at the back of the elementary school, the crossing guard mentioned that I reminded her of the “slipping on ice” viral video she had seen the night before. She described…
Sponsored Video: Funny Kid Conversations #Easytodigest
This post is sponsored by Kellogg’s but all opinions and funny kid stories are my own. Have you ever had one of those conversations with your kids?

Like Father, Like Son… #LetsTalkBums
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cottonelle. All opinions are my own. The story, however, is my husband’s and I did get permission – hesitant permission – to share his story for the benefit and humor of this blog post. Prepare to laugh, say “Eww!” and have a new…
Hidden Talents and a Giant Surprise
I’d like to say that I’m a woman of many (hidden) talents. Not quite. I’ve always considered myself good at many things and great at only a few.

Celebrate Everyday Moments With Quotagraph (+ $100 Giveaway!)
When my kids were younger, I kept a notebook where I would record weights, illnesses, play dates, and all of the funny things they said each day.

Just a quick thought for you crafting mamas…. Or those of you with kids who bring home crafts from school or camp. Is this not true?
