Confession:: I still have two giant plastic bags of Halloween candy sitting in my pantry. Yes, I just said Halloween candy! And that was after I bribed my husband to take the third bag to his weekly poker game and told him not to come back into this house with that bag in his hands. I…

valentine shopping at pearl paradise :: review + giveaway
Within the past year or so I have started to wear jewelry again. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings. All retired for a few years while my kids went through the “I’ll yank that right off/out of you and destroy it in the process” phase. (We’ve all been through that phase where accessorizing is extremely difficult to accomplish.)…
date night with ibotta :: better than coupons :: $2 for you :: app review
This isn’t the first time I’ve talked about Ibotta on The Simple Moms. However, it’s been a little while and Ibotta is getting better and better all the time. I don’t know about you, but cash flow seems depleted when the new year begins. Christmas brings travels, gifts, and extra entertainment for our family. Even though I’m…

trick or treat with yum earth organic lollipops :: review and giveaway
As much fun as my kids have trick-or-treating for Halloween candy they don’t really enjoy all the candy they get. On top of that, there is no way I am going to let them mainline such a massive combination of sugar and artificial colors/dyes. (Feeding my children artificial dyes is worse than letting them eat…
i’ve gobbled them all up, have you? :: review and giveaway
I have a major sweet tooth. However, I don’t just waste my calories away on ANY sweet, yummy treat. There has to be a deep, burning love for this sweet in order for me to intake it. If anything has a chocolate and peanut butter combination, 9.9 times out of 10, I’m all about it. …

Sometimes finding the perfect gift for the person who has everything is HARD. Likewise, finding the perfect gift for the person you don’t know what to get…equally as hard. That is, until I was introduced to Sesame Gifts. I recently received a Top of the Morning Set from Sesame Gifts for my husband. It was…
