Posted on June 5, 2019June 6, 2019 by Ginny

Father’s Day is just a week and half away. Are you looking for a gift idea? I like to look for unique gifts for my dad that he wouldn’t buy himself. He feels badly if I spend money on him, but I always find a little something to send him. It’s been 15 years since…

Posted on May 29, 2019May 29, 2019 by Ginny

We don’t go long around here without talking about the newest RADZ candy surprise. I love it that you can count on Radz to have relevant candy dispensers for the holiday or in this case, a big movie coming out. Have you seen the trailer for Secret Life of Pets 2? I was cracking up…

a thank you for reading the simple moms blog :: starbucks giveaway

Posted on May 15, 2019May 15, 2019 by Ginny

I celebrated my 12th Mother’s Day this past weekend. It struck me that I can only remember about 3 of them. Mom brain at it’s finest I suppose. I remember the one that was 3 days ago! I know, impressive, huh? I have snippets of past mother’s days that come back to me, but they…

ARM & HAMMER™ foot care moisturizer + gentle exfoliator :: help for heels and feet :: giveaway

Posted on May 8, 2019May 8, 2019 by Ginny

Flip flop weather is coming, but my feet are not ready to be seen. My husband says I have wooden feet. I can’t say that he’s wrong. It’s quite accurate actually, but if we are throwing around foot insults, he has webbed toes. True story, my boys do too. Now is the time to start…

family day trip idea in san francisco :: golden gate bridge :: baker beach :: free parking

Posted on May 1, 2019May 1, 2019 by Ginny

I live about 60 miles east of the Golden Gate bridge. To our shame, we don’t get into the city as often as we should. It’s parking prices and traffic that leave me dragging my feet about planning a day trip. If you find yourself in the Bay Area on a West Coast adventure, I…

Posted on April 25, 2019April 25, 2019 by Ginny

Last week our school had Spirit Week. They really should plan Spirit Week earlier in the school year when creative juices are less depleted.

not your mother’s :: clean freak dry shampoo :: giveaway

Posted on April 17, 2019April 25, 2019 by Ginny

There are days you could fry an egg on my greasy head. Of course I hide the mess with a hat and head off to the gym, but I would be horrified if people knew what was going on under that cap – it’s possible it’s breakfast cooking…eggs over easy. I don’t mean to go…

Posted on April 10, 2019April 10, 2019 by Ginny

I heard about Color Wow last Fall when Hoda talked about this magical spray she put on her hair. She spoke so highly about it and I could tell she was genuine in her search for a hair product that worked well. You can watch the same video below. I ended up getting DREAM COAT…

radz candy dispenser and toy :: easter basket idea

Posted on April 3, 2019April 3, 2019 by Ginny

When I was a little girl my grandma would make our Easter baskets. My mom would hide our baskets around the house or in the yard. I grew up in Michigan so weather had to cooperate for  it to be hidden outside. Weather would make or break me wearing my summery Easter dress too. I’ve…
