Have you ever wondered how mothers managed outings with kids before the days of iPod touches and iPhones? I do. Despite the fact that I survived the early childhood of the majority of my five kids (and I dare say THEY all survived those years, too!) I don’t know if I’d want to go iPod-less…
His Love Affair with Ketchup
This won’t be the first time I have blogged about Twizzler’s love affair with ketchup. This little love affair has been going on as long as I can remember….or at least as long as Twizzler had a voice to express his desire to not only eat ketchup on everything, but eat LOTS of ketchup on…
Fracture {Giveaway}
Photos are a huge part of my life. I rarely go anywhere without a camera. Actually, a friend at dinner tonight laughed when I took a picture of AJ sitting at a bar sucking on a lollipop….with the camera on my phone. It might not be a picture worthy of displaying, but I am too…
You Need a Vacation
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve decided that I need another vacation. You know–the post-vacation-vacation. The “let’s leave the kids home this time” vacation. The “let’s ditch all responsibilities and relax all weekend” vacation. And this time, I’m going all out. Not…
Your Sunscreen Questions Answered (+Giveaway!)
Summer is the season when everyone heads outside – To the pool, the park, the beach, or the ball game. And it seems that one of Summer’s number one “accessories” – that one thing that everyone seems to be wearing – is sunscreen. Although everyone is wearing it, there are a lot of questions and…
The Best Movies You’ve Never Seen
Twice a week, I sit down on my basement floor with a pile of laundry that often extends above my head. Laundry for seven is not an easy thing to keep up with. And since it typically takes me over an hour to tackle the laundry, and since we don’t have cable, I always pop…
Father’s Day Gift Guide
Did you know that Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 20? Have you ever asked yourself, “What in the world am I going to get my husband for Father’s Day?” Despite CandyMan’s recent bad track record at getting me anything for Mother’s Day, I love to shop for him. I love shopping, period. I love…
Ready For a Road Trip?
Summer is the perfect time for family getaways. When I was a kid, my family would pack up the car and make the trip over the mountains and through the woods to Lake Tahoe. It was my favorite place in the world, and I imagine it would still be a favorite if I had the…
How Much Time Do Your Kids Spend Online?
During the school year, computer use is kept at a minimum for my kids (me? That’s another story!). My kids are at school for 7 1/2 hours a day, have homework and chores to do once they get home, and participate in scouts and other activities in the evenings. We stay busy. But the…
A Way to Give Back to Those Special Teachers
This morning, I spent two hours sorting and shelving books for the first grade team at our elementary school. When KitKat started kindergarten, I committed to volunteer in the schools as often as possible. With the subsequent births of more babies through the years, it wasn’t always easy to stay consistent with that goal, but…
