How are you planning on spending Mother’s Day on Sunday? Do you take her out to eat? Do you pamper her with a spa day? Usually hubby and the kids will make me breakfast in bed and we may go out to dinner in the evening, or sometimes in the past, we’ve just had a [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about my family getting organized with Fellowes Banker Boxes, so you might be wondering how we got organized. Well, I was going to organize my office, but I thought I’d take a slightly different angle and sort through and organize the kids dress up area. This was the [...]
When I was asked to be an Ambassador for Fellowes to get organized, I was beyond excited to see how the Banker BoxStackable Storage boxes could help us out. I was originally going to organize our seasonal clothes and my office, however I ended up on a entirely different path. I decided to organize the [...]
I am proud and excited to say that I am a Welch’s Influencer. It makes sense with all the PB&J creations that we make in this house. While the traditional PB&J sandwich is what most kids know of, we have a creation that the kids love! Let me let Tucker tell you what his favorite [...]
When I was a kid, I remember seeing a box in the fridge that made me curious, very curious. I can remember this like it was yesterday. I was maybe 8 years old, if that. We lived on a corner lot, friends always coming and going from the house and school activities. I remember walking [...]
We are right in the middle of cold and flu season. Here in the Midwest, we get hit with it hard! I have done pretty good this winter at keeping the germs away, but we can’t keep everything clean and safe from creating cooties that cause colds. When we buy OTC cold medicines at our [...]
Earlier this month, our family decided to take the 21 day Listerine Challenge. Here we are, almost a month later and I cannot begin to express how my mouth feels from using only the Listerine products we were given. I am 37 and have never had a cavity (YAY!), but I do have very sensitive [...]
How many people can say that they are a grown adult and have never had a cavity or any tooth issues? I am in my 30’s and am very proud to say that I have never had so much as a cavity. I did have braces when I was 19, but that was because my [...]
During the holidays, I like to bring the memories of family to us when we aren’t able to be with them. How do you bring back the memories? Smells are one of my key things so during the holidays, Febreze sprays and candles are a staple in our home to help bring the holiday spirit [...]
Our kids’ health is very important in every aspect. One thing that I am proud to say is that I am in my 30’s and have never had a cavity, so my kids’ oral care is very important to me as well. When I was a kid, I remember brushing my teeth with a routine [...]
With the holidays so near, how do you stay on track with your eating and weight? Do you count calories or do you completely avoid all the holiday foods? I have been battling my weight on and off for 5 years, ever since my daughter was born. There has been so much that has gone [...]
Do you have an ultimate holiday memory that you think about often? We have so many from my childhood, and since we started our family. Memories are priceless gifts. I had so many fond childhood memories from decorating the tree together, to my first Cabbage Patch Kid and matching slippers. Do you have any favorite [...]
If you’ve been keeping up with the ‘Name it’ Page on Cottonelle’s Facebook page, you might have had a few giggles at what names have been submitted so far. I have to admit that these are my three of favorite names submitted to date. Swipe ‘n Wipe Double Duty Booty Clean Sweep We have been [...]
This holiday season, are you expecting a house load of guests? We are and not just once… we will be having a few family get together’s and I’m sure we’ll have messes and need lots of supplies to suit everyone. When you start preparing for the holidays and all the guests that are about to [...]
There are so many things that we use trash bags for. Each time we have moved, trash bags have been a big play in our move for clothes, garage sale organizing, holiday decoration storage and yes… the traditional garbage in the kitchen. Here’s my biggest pet peeve when it comes to kitchen trash. Admit it…. [...]

I think we all have our ‘dream home’ and even ‘dream room’ ideas. Do you have any? While buying a 1900 home was not our first choice, it is what fit within our budget, so we decided to go with the older home purchase and make it what we wanted in a home. I watch [...]
We live in the Midwest and while we like living here, we are pretty far away from both of our families and friends, so we do what we can to keep in touch and keep our families close in contact. I have been working with Mom Central and Skype to do a Skype Seven-Day Challenge [...]
My kids are just like mommy… they love technology. We travel a lot, and the kids love to have things to keep them entertained, but they also love educational tools while on the go and at home. We had the chance to check out the VTech InnoTab 2. We have the first version of the [...]
This time of year, it seems that we are constantly swapping germs in our home. Between my traveling through airports and the kids sharing cooties at school, it’s a never ending battle for germs. How do you prevent germs and all the constant sickness around you? Personally, I’ve found that keeping hand sanitizer with me [...]
A while back, we reviewed the VTech MobiGo. While we really liked it, there were things that we were hoping to see adjusted in the next revision. Well, we were asked to review the new MobiGo 2 and I am happy to share with you our findings. VTech MobiGo 2 The new MobiGo 2 Touch [...]
My 7 year olds first day of school was today and my 4 year olds first day of preschool is tomorrow. As a parent, I am excited for no more daily sibling fights, however this means that my babies are growing up. There are so many things that a parent does to prepare for the [...]
We traveled a lot this summer; more than we have traveled any other summer. We were on the road for a week throughout Texas, then a week in North Iowa, then hubby and I went to Cancun and now I’m about to head to NYC for BlogHer in just a few short days. When it [...]
Are your kids nuts over Hot Wheels? Our 4 year old girl and 7 year old boy are crazy about Hot Wheels! We had the chance to work with Hot Wheels to check out their Hot Wheels Double Loop Dare with the kids just in time for Hot Wheels to ‘go vertical’ at the X [...]
With Summer in full swing, do you have any family fun events planned? With living in the Midwest, we are pretty close to several lakes and the Mississippi River so we like to take advantage of the water any chance we get. The kids have a blast on Papa’s boat! While we aren’t in Florida [...]
How do you keep in touch with your loved ones, family and friends? For me, the internet is my biggest way to keep everyone in touch with our family, and everyone can watch the kids grow up like they are here with us. My son loves to read to grandma and Kambry loves to show [...]
At the beginning of May, we were asked to swap out our regular snacks for Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop!. Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop! Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn has several advantages over other snacks; it is: 100 percent whole grain A good source of fiber Low in fat Zero grams of trans fat Six cups of Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop! [...]
We have been on a Healthy Snacking Challenge with Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop. When I say we, I mean hubby and I. We are on a health, fitness and weightloss mission together. While he is running, watching what he eats and exercising more, I am dong the same. We both like to snack, but we don’t [...]
Hubby and I are both on a health, fitness and weightloss kick to get and stay healthy. Some people think that if they go on a diet, that all the snacking needs to stop. That is far from the truth. Snacking is encouraged so that one doesn’t overindulge during mealtime. One snack that hubby and [...]
I am SO excited to announce that I was chosen to be a Skype Ambassador though Mom Central!! I never was much of a video chat person, until we moved hours away from all of our family and friends. We are a good 14 hours from my parents and 5 hours from the in-laws. I [...]
For a few weeks now, our family has taken a challenge and switched our regular every day oral care products in trade for Crest and Oral-B Pro-Health Clinical Plaque Control. I know that I have said this before, but I am proud to say that I am in my thirties and I have never had [...]
For a few weeks now, I have been using a product in the hopes that it would clear up or at least tame my adult acne. Growing up, I had acne, but not too terribly bad. As an adult, I still have the same random breakouts so I gave MaxClarity a try. I am beyond [...]
How many adults can say that they have never had a cavity? I am proud to say that I am 36 years old and I have never had a cavity. When I was 20, I had braces, but that’s the extent of oral ‘issues’ that I have had. I believe in brushing every morning, after [...]
When I was a teenager, I had acne, but I’ve found it to be more in my 30′s than it was when I was younger. I travel a lot and the constant climate changes seem to make it worse, especially during the summer. I’ve tried so many facial cleaners for acne, but I haven’t found [...]
When I was a kid, I remember my mom giving us kids Chef Boyardee for lunch. My personal favorite is the spaghetti and meatballs while my brother’s was ravioli. Now that I am a mother, my kids are growing up with the same tradition of having Chef Boyardee for some meals. While it’s easy to [...]
My kids haven’t been too familiar with the computer here at home. That is probably because I felt they were safer playing educational games on the iPad. I was introduced to Toon Boom’s Flip Boom Doodle software for the computer and I do have to say that my little ones (ages 4 & 6 ½) [...]
Hubby and I share laundry duties and there are times where we may accidentally get a colored sock in with our light colored clothes. I think we’ve all pulled out a shirt that was once white, but now it’s pink. Well, now there is a product that I felt questionable about at first, but I [...]
Our family plays a lot of board games. The kids are at the ages (4 and 6) where they are competing against each other with games, as well as playing solo. While my 4 year old and I are at home during the day, she will bring out all sorts of games and we will [...]
I am proud to say that I am a Shout Ambassador on behalf of Mom Central Consulting. In our home, we have stains galore! With hubby teaching and coaching, a little girl that loves to play in the mud and a son that brings home every stain known to man, we are always attempting to [...]
All four of us in our house have allergies. We live in a 1900 home and have a cat, so we make sure to do all that we can to keep the air clean so that our breathing stays clear, even throughout the winter. Most people prep their homes for summer heat, well, here in [...]
What are my favorite features of my Whirlpool Duet Washer & Dryer? Oh, let me count the ways! I have SO many features that I love, but one that has blown my mind is the Washer’s easy-to- fill liquid detergent reservoir. The Washer’s easy-to- fill liquid detergent reservoir can hold up to 36 loads in [...]
Just last month, I took a weekend to drive to Texas to welcome my brother home from the navy. Being that I am a military brat, I support our military and appreciate all that they do for us. Supporting and showing my appreciation is the least that I can do. With the holidays coming up, [...]
Do I have laundry stories? Oh, I can tell some lovely laundry stories. Shall I begin with the joy of getting mud out of brand new white shirts? Or should I begin with the joys of a food fight with the kids while I was upstairs cleaning? No matter what the reason is; mud or [...]
I cannot begin to tell you how much pizza that my family eats. We love any type of pizza; homemade, take out or frozen pizza. Tombstone is our family’s favorite pizza. It is easy to find in the frozen section of our local grocery store… even in our tiny town, we can find just about [...]
Does your son like trucks? Mine does! I have to say that not only does my son love trucks, so does my daughter. She may be a girly girl, but she loves to have some 4×4 fun with her brother. We had a chance to check out a playset that has shown to be hours [...]
Ever since I got my Whirlpool Duet Washer & Dryer, I have found myself with more time than ever before. Before I got my Duet set, I was doing a load of laundry… a very small load, then using the dryer for about 2 hours to dry that tiny load. Now, I can load up [...]
