Note: As a homeowner whose entire heating and air conditioning system went kaput right before the weather turned hot this summer, I can truly say that I am a firm supporter of doing whatever I can to maintain my new unit in good working order. Filtrete was very patient while I replaced my dead…
Introducing YesVideo’s New App #RememberWhen
Note: This post is being sponsored by YesVideo, but I would use their services (and have used them!) on my own dime because I have that much faith in their company. All thoughts and opinions (and app snapshots) are my own. A few months ago, my husband came home with a large box full…
Mazda CX-9 2013 Review
Note: I received a 2013 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD to test drive around town for one week in order to facilitate my honest review. No monetary compensation was received and all opinions are my own. As I’ve said with my previous car reviews, I am not a car expert. A lot of the…
Medieval Times – Amazing Entertainment for the Whole Family
Note: We were given tickets to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament in Maryland (just outside of Washington DC) for our family. All thoughts and opinions – and photos – are my own. As any mother knows, it is tough to find activities that cater to multiple kids of varying ages. If we take the…

Note: I received an early copy of The Body Electric by Allie Duzett for review, which is officially released today (May 14, 2013). No compensation was received and all opinions expressed are my own. When I first moved into this area, I met a mother with older kids that I admired. As a young mother…
Birthday Party #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Reese turned 10 last month. We had to wait for a few weeks after her birthday to have her party, but it was worth the wait. Reese is at such a funny age – that in-between stage where she stops being a little girl and starts becoming a young woman. It’s kind of driving me…
2013 Mazda5 Grand Touring Review
When I drove the Mazda5 Grand Touring for the first time, I pulled into the grocery store parking lot and turned to my daughter and commented that the car felt really familiar. A quick text confirmed that my sister owns a Mazda5…so we’ve had plenty of experience piling kids and bags into the back. So…
