I am so excited to be a member of an amazing group of selected bloggers chosen to be a Ralph Lauren Ambassador! I will have tons of details and information for you soon, but first, I had to tell you about a fun Twitter Party that is going on tonight. Be sure to attend for [...]
Who can deny ice cream, especially in this hot summer weather we are having? We love ice cream! While we are all watching what we eat in our house, we don’t like to deny ourselves of a treat every now and then. Breyers new Smooth & Dreamy Ice Cream Bars and Ice Cream Sandwiches are [...]
Recently, we bought a new grill. Our old one was a hand me down, that was handed down and the poor thing was more than over its’ legal age requirement. We plan on spending the summer grilling out as much as we possibly can. We love to grill out! Not only is it fun, but [...]

Spaghetti. Messy eaters. Photos. Life can’t get any better! We had the chance to try a pasta that we have never tried before, so we were all excited to give it a whirl: Ronzoni. Looks good, doesn’t it? About Ronzoni: In 1881, a young boy emigrated from the small fishing village of San Fruttuoso, Italy, [...]
I am 34 and I still can clearly remember all of the teachers that I had in elementary school, Junior High and even in High School. One teacher that stands out to me, well two, are Mrs. Lamb & Mrs. Gilbert from my elementary. They were amazing! Mrs. Gilbert was that tough love type of [...]
We love snacks, especially cookies! We had the chance to try out a brand that I am familiar with in some parts, but was really excited to give a try: Mother’s Cookies Circus Animal cookies. I live in the Midwest, so these have been hard to find, until now. We had the chance to try [...]
I have been slowly introducing Tucker to the computer and electronic gaming, such as a Nintendo DS handheld game. He has and loves his DS, so when we had the opportunity to try out a new game, Activision Shrek Forever After, I was beyond excited for Tucker, as well as me since I love to [...]
I may not be the ‘greenest’ person in the world, but I am doing what I can for our planet. When I see companies that we use in our home, step up and help us to help the environment, this makes me love the companies even more. Recently, I saw an ad for Triscuit that [...]
I am going to ask a question. You are going to laugh; there is no denying it. Do you roll under, or over? What? Your toilet paper – do you roll under, or over? Go ahead. Giggle. I roll OVER. It drives me batty when hubby puts the roll on under. Every time I see [...]
Both of my kids adore Handy Manny! I, as a parent, love watching Handy Manny with my kids. It is a show that they have fun with and they are learning with it as well. Launched in 2006, Disney’s Emmy-nominated animated series “Handy Manny” shares the adventures of Manny, a bilingual handyman, and his talking [...]
As a stay at home mom to two active kiddos and a busy husband, I don’t always have to cook 3 meals a day, every day. Moms deserve a break too. This is where Banquet comes in to play at our house. I have been a Banquet fan for several years. The kids love it. [...]
Boy, this year, we are getting swamped with new babies on arrival! We have my two sister in law’s that are both expecting in July & September, hubby’s co-worker is expecting in July, and then we just found out that a friend of ours is due around August. When it comes to baby shower gifts, [...]
I have kids. I have a husband. We have stains. What home doesn’t have stains? Who am I kidding – I create just about the same number of stains on my own clothes. We all do – we can’t deny it, no matter how hard we try. I have tried just about anything and everything [...]
I don’t ship things daily, but I do ship packages. When I do, I want something reliable and most of all, a place I can go to for help if I need it. What if there was a place to go to, to get some ideas for a friends party that you are secretly planning? What [...]
It has been a few months that I tasted Nancy’s Appetizers, but that taste still sticks in the back of my mind like it happened yesterday. I was at a family gathering where these were served on a gorgeous serving platter. My favorite holiday treat is pecan pie. Maybe that’s the ‘south’ coming out in [...]
When I think about the holidays, one of the first things that I think about is: ‘How much are we going to spend to have a nice Thanksgiving feast?’ You don’t have to go broke this holiday season to feed your family a holiday meal. Did you know that you can feed a nice turkey [...]
When it comes to the foods my kids eat, I am better (now) at looking at the labels and making sure that my kids are getting all the nutritional needs that their growing bodies need. Did you know that the statistics show that an average of 9 out of 10 kids lack enough fiber in [...]
I have expressed over and over and over how much we love our Frigidaire Gallery Fridge. I cannot tell you what a lifesaver this has been to our family, our home and our schedules. Before, we were not able to buy in bulk. Now we can. Before, we were only able to buy just a [...]
On September 15th, I showed you how I love the easy clean up with my Frigidaire Stainless Steel Fridge is. Well, here is just another reason I love my new fridge! We just went yesterday to Sam’s Club, got a new membership and guess what? I love my Frigidaire Fridge because there is SO much [...]
I am so passionate about my new Frigidaire Stainless Steel Fridge from the Gallery collection, not only because it is pretty to look at, but it really DOES save me time. How? I cannot tell you how long it took me to clean my old fridge. The shelves were a pain, the plastic inside was [...]
I think I travel more than anyone should travel. It is fun, but it is nice to stay home for a while. Do you take local trips (called a State-cation) close to home? There are SO many things that you can do, so close to home, save a lot of money and still stay in [...]
I cannot begin to tell you how much I, and my family, have thoroughly enjoyed having our new stainless steel Frigidaire fridge in our home. Not only are we saving money by not buying bottled water (the filtered water ROCKS!), we are saving a lot of time by being able to find the things in [...]
With all of our routines back in to play in our house (hubby is back at work after the summer home & Tucker is back in preschool) now it is time for mommy to get back to work on herself! I am so excited to have my “ME” time to work out while Kambry naps [...]
“Mommy, I’m hungry!” Does this sound familiar? Not at all times do I have the energy to whip up a snack for the kids and to be honest, fast food is not very appealing to me as a parent. I want my kids to have a tasty snack that is better for them than some [...]
Time. We all need more time in our days, it seems. What if you had one extra hour a day? What would you do? I would get out of the house and take a walk or go running. I would spend more time at the park with my family. I would take a long, hot [...]
When it comes to cooking, I like to use seasonings that taste good, but also are free of MSG. I always look at the label, so when I looked at the label of a Mrs. Dash, I was very happy to see: Calories: 0 Sodium: 0 Fat: 0 I was given the chance to try [...]
I am a huge nut for wings. *drool * Anytime we go out of town, this is a must for us to stop by new places to try their wings. Call us weird, but it’s not only fun to find places, but yummy in our tummies! Well, now we have added a new location to [...]
For me, I find it hard to meet new friends. I recently was introduced to a website called Gather.com that makes it easier for you to meet and connect with new people. I just joined and already, I am connecting with others that share the same interests as I do. What is Gather? Gather makes [...]
Hard to believe the weather is nice, staying nice and Summer is quickly passing us by. While we are traveling a lot this summer, more than expected, we are always on the look out for savings, while still having fun. When we are not traveling, we do so many things at home from grilling out [...]
I am sitting here.. THANKFUL for my Wi-Fi from Verizon Wireless, courtesy of MWW Group, in the airport, in Chicago, and I am going through pictures and the great time that I had with all the other bloggers, Sears and Kmart today. I will have a whole post coming later this weekend about my experience, but [...]
I post about my Nintendo DS because I love it so much! I may be 33 years old, but I play my DS like I was a kid. Hubby and I fight over who gets the DS first. We had a chance to check out Guitar Hero for the DS. Love. Love. Love it! I [...]
Wasn’t Mother’s Day just here? Well, Father’s Day is already almost here. We can’t forget dad this year. Mom Central has a pretty savvy Father’s Day Gift Guide going on right now that has some fabulous gift ideas for dad! With Father’s Day right around the corner (Sunday, June 21), we’ve compiled our favorite gifts [...]
There are so many times where I may go to a message board to ask a question relating to my kids, or even call a family member or friend to see if they can help. What if there were a tool that I can type in that question and have an answer already there? Now [...]
It isn’t as warm here (summer type weather) as some places of the world, but we are surely enjoying every minute of the warm weather that we are having. With summer, I always think about ice cream. You do too, don’t you? We have been outside playing all weekend and have been wishing we [...]
I am truly grateful to be a part of Mom Central who is amazing in the community and with opening my (and the public in general) eyes to things like the great things that Frosted Flakes Earn Your Stripes (EYS). This is a field renovation program that aimed to renovate neighborhood sports fields across the [...]
I don’t think I have been alone with wondering “Who all was picked to be a Frigidaire Test Drive Mom?” I think several of us annoyed the gals over at Mom Central enough, so they were nice enough to give us a list. I am very excited, proud and honored to be among a great [...]
I cannot even begin to express the allergies, breathing problems and lung issues that our house has. Hubby is allergic to .. um.. AIR. I have extremely sensitive lungs, so we have to monitor just about everything. This time of year, there are flowers in bloom and with that,,, allergies and breathing issues come to [...]
You don’t have to own a swimming pool at your house to need to know CPR. Hubby and I took a CPR class a few years back, so I was excited to get the chance to refresh my mind on CPR in my own home. We received a ‘CPR Anytime Kit from American Heart.org’. This [...]
I have some exciting news!!! I am SO PROUD and so THRILLED (for the lack of a better word!) to announce that I am one excited mommy! I am one of TEN moms chosen for the ‘Refrigerator Test Drive Team’. What? YES! I get a new gorgeous fridge from Frigidaire. This month, Frigidaire is rolling [...]
When it comes to meals that I make for my family, I have to think about what is for dinner and whill they like it? I have a toddler that is going through some picky phase. He used to be the one that would eat anything put in front of him. I was told this [...]
When I first heard about a book called 10-10-10, I wasn’t sure what to think. I have been really getting in to reading books lately and backing away from the computer. I like to have my ME time and I love to kick back in a hot bath and read.. read.. read. I often [...]
Even with the kids’ channels that are on cable, I still find myself filtering through the shows that are on those channels. One program that Tucker cannot get enough of is Wubbzy. I wish all programs can be fun and educationally fun as Wubbzy is. The newest Wubbzy DVD, Pirate Treasure is now available [...]
I think I am pretty lucky to have kids that prefer veggies over anything on their plate. Tucker LOVES broccoli! Not sure how that happened, but I am impressed for a 3 year old! I wanted to let you know about a fun game online that is brought to us by Hidden Valley Salad Dressings [...]
Every day comes the famous question “What’s for dinner?” I am running out of ideas, seriously. I think I come up with pretty yummy ideas, but not enough. I think the kids are getting bored with meals. With more moms like me preparing meals at home, keeping dinner ideas fresh, easy to prepare and budget-friendly [...]
I grew up with Eggo products, but back then, it was pretty much one product: Waffles. That was ok with me. I love waffles! When I saw all the new things that Eggo had out there, I was pretty giddy, if I say so myself. Chocolate Chip Waffles. Oh YUM! I had to back away [...]
