#Honor911 Why do we commemorate 9/11? For me, it’s how I preserve the memory of those who were killed, I want to honor the many brave men and women that sacrificed their lives whether they were in the building at work or first responders, and I am so proud to be an American and associated with the…
If you are about to embark on any toilet training adventures, Conni Kids is going to get you set up for success. Do you have a bed wetter? I have more experience then I wish I did, and the Conni Kids absorbent bed pad is a product we CANNOT live without. The tackers underwear and bed…
I learned the hard way that being frugal does not mean skimping on the price of your pots and pans. I just celebrated my 10th anniversary this summer and we are on our 3rd set of pots and pans! Somehow our toaster, blender, mixer, duvet, and a few bath towels are original to our marriage, but we have…
I don’t know if it’s good genes, good habits, or a combination of both, but we are a cavity free home. I’m not proud of this, but we drink sugary beverages and eat our fair share of candy. If ever there should be kids that have “sugar bugs” eating away at their teeth, I’m afraid…
Games are a great way to spend some quiet time winding down after a long day. Family time is very important in my opinion. You have a quick 18 years with your kids. Make the most of those moments when they want to hang out and play a game. Battle Sheep was a fast moving…
I received a gift card from Fruit of the Loom in exchange for writing this blog post. Although this post is sponsored, all opinions are my own. We are enjoying our last full week of summer vacation. School starts August 27th for us. We sleep in, stay in our PJ’s til the spirit moves, and snuggle on…
We recently returned to our closed up house after 11 days of vacationing. I was prepared for a stale smell. You know what hit me? Nothing! I was shocked. I have a Crystal Gel Design Container in our hallway bathroom and the Fresh Pod with pearl packs by our trash in the kitchen. These products blow my mind….
I have a love & hate relationship with working out. I get intimated by the “beautiful” people at the gym, but I know I need to be there. I’m never sorry that I made time for the gym. However, I need to set myself up for success when I get there. Part of that is…
I’ve got your back, Mom! When it’s the first day of school you feel lucky if you have an extra 3 seconds to snap a photo before you rush to get your crew to school on time. Here are some FREE printable #BackToSchool signs you can have ready in a flash. While I suggest you have them printed the night…
“BTS” or #BackToSchool as we have #hashtagged# it here on the blog for the next few weeks, belongs to the list of words we don’t say at our house. Especially when it’s still mid-summer. We try to ignore the fact that summer vacation will eventually come to an end. I’m borderline obnoxious about being prepared for…
Hopefully you don’t live with a penny pincher who follows you around the house shutting off lights. I am all about saving money, but I’m not going to be on the next episode of Extreme Cheapskate. I actually loath bending over to turn off the kid’s night lights in the morning. I dislike it so much that I’ve…
I remember bringing home our first baby so clearly. We were in awe and stared at him for the first few days. Then we googled what he could see through those newborn eyes. Was that smile from gas, or did he really just look at us and grin? All our babies would give my husband…
