My electronics are a huge part of my day-to-day life, as well as when I travel. I take a lot of pictures and videos. When I say a lot… I mean a LOT. I can’t even begin to think of the number of pictures and videos that I take of my kids on a daily [...]
Mother’s Day was this weekend. What did you get mom this year? Every year, I see so many people spend so much money on flowers that will die in a couple of days, chocolates that mom might complain about later on (lol) or something that she will most likely return anyway. Does mom like to [...]
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 think a good number of people start every year ‘fresh’ and to lose weight. That dreaded ‘New Year’ resolution gets us ever time. Admit it, you do it… I know I do. Well, I do this circle often to lose weight, get fit, get healthy and stay healthy. Back in 2006, I joined a [...]
I never thought I’d use my iPad mini as much as I do. When I travel, it’s in my purse. When I’m out running errands, it’s with me. When I am home lounging with the family, it’s right next to me. I read, browse the internet, play games and even blog from my iPad mini. [...]
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 [...]
Three of the four people in my household suffer from dry skin so when we were asked to work with Nivea on their Share the Sensation campaign, we were beyond excited. We have tried several types and brands of lotion to help with the kids’ Eczema and with my horribly dry skin, we were ready [...]
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 [...]
With the holidays quickly approaching, are you prepared to power those toys and techy tools? One can never have too many Rayovac batteries, so once Christmas comes and goes, it’s ok to be overstocked on power. I’d rather have too many batteries to power Christmas, than not enough. ((I found this idea on Pinterest. We [...]
When I get up and get dressed & ready for the day, I have to confess that I absolutely hate putting on my bra. Sounds funny, doesn’t it? I’ve gotten in to the habit of wearing tanks with the ‘built in bra’ over wearing my $90 bra that I was personally fitted for. It’s pretty [...]
Are you a coffee drinker? We never really have been, or even thought about coffee unless it was as a pick me up on a long road trip. To be honest, since I’ve been married, we have never even owned a coffee pot before recently. I know it sounds weird, doesn’t it? I grew up [...]
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…. [...]
We do a lot of traveling. That ranges from solo flights to family trips locally to the zoo, shopping or even out of town family trips to visit family and friends. You don’t have to have a baby to need a ‘diaper bag’. I have always carried a large bag wherever we go just because [...]
I travel a lot… like, a whole lot. A lot is for business, but we also travel a lot as a family. When you live 6 hours away from one part of the family and 14 hours away from the other half of the family, there tends to be a lot of going here and [...]
School is already back in full swing. I remember when we were shopping for back to school needs, the one thing that I like (as a parent) are to look for things that aren’t your typical school items. For the kids’, we like to look for unique items like clothes, shoes and even backpacks. I [...]
I grew up loving princesses, dressing up like them and watching every movie that came out with princesses in them. There’s one that still leaves a mark in my mind and a spot in my heart…. Cinderella. My 5 year old is the same as I was; she dresses up like a princess, is as [...]
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 officially back in school and we are already bombarded with the show and tell presentations, as well as keepsakes that the kids make and bring home. How do you preserve some of those fun drawings, or here’s a thought … when your kids swap school pictures with their classmates, what do you [...]
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 [...]
I travel a lot. OK, so I travel a whooooole lot. I cannot begin to tell you how many suitcases that I have, yet I don’t like any of them. The main reason is because they are too heavy, too bulky, my ‘carry-on’ won’t fit in the overhead bin or they are just plain ugly. [...]
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 [...]
In our home, we are all mega music lovers. My son is 7 and has been singing anything and everything that he hears and when we are in the car, he asks me to turn up the volume so he can hear it and sing along. Kam is almost 5 and she has been following [...]
My almost 5 year old is in love with her SKECHERS Twinkle Toes shoes that I bought her in NYC this past May…. so much that I found a pair on the SKECHERS clearance section recently for back to school. She loves the shoes, and so do I. (I wish they came in adult sizes!) [...]
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 have been on the go all summer. When we travel, we travel with just about any toy, book and electronic that we can to keep the kids entertained on road trips. While we’ve been reviewing the Motorola xyboard powered by Verizon’s 4G service, we thought we’d download a few things that would allow us [...]
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 [...]
While I’ve had my BlogHer ‘12 conference pass since they went on sale last August, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to attend this year due to our chaotic busy schedule. I wasn’t planning on attending this year because of our schedule, but things pan out when we least expect them to. While [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Father’s Day is right around the corner. What are you going to get the father figure in your life? I am so excited to be able to visit with my dad later this month and have a post-Father’s Day celebration with him. I’m so excited to see him! I’m a daddy’s girl, can you tell? [...]
When my kids were little ones in their cribs, I always wished that there was a way that I could keep an eye on them. Now that they are older, there are times that I would like to be in my office, but still be able to keep an eye on them as they play. [...]
I have a confession to make. I absolutely dislike recycling. I know it’s what we need to do to help cut back on trash, as well as to help our planet, but in my house, recycling has always been nothing but a hassle, a huge mess and cluttered up my deck where the kids play [...]
My little ones love their quiet time. We set aside about an hour and a half before bedtime for the kids to watch a movie and tame down for bedtime. We recently were able to trade off quiet time for a family movie night with a new release of Disney’s The Secret Word of Arrietty. [...]
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! [...]
When I bought my iPad 2, I had thought about selling my iPad 1, but then I decided to keep it for the kids to play games on and use the learning apps that I downloaded on for them. With such an expensive piece of electronic, we like to protect it in any way, while [...]
Earlier this month, I received a pair of SKECHERS Stride Running shoes. With my daily workouts, I thought I would start up running. I have never been much of a runner, but I started to get the urge to start something different from my daily elliptical workouts and routines. Women’s SKECHERS Stride Running Shoes Run, [...]
When a heard that a friend and blogger was pregnant, I have to admit that I was excited. When I found out it was twins, I was speechless. I started researching baby items that would help her out with twins, including strollers. When my kids were little (they are now 6 & 4), we had [...]
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 [...]
I am so proud and excited to announce that I am a Verizon Midwest Savvy Saver Ambassador! I was asked to meet with everyone last weekend in Chicago, but my God Daughter (& niece) had her graduation, ceremony and celebration, so I had to miss the event. Even though I missed the event, I did [...]
Mother’s Day is just around the corner. What are you planning on getting mom or even the wife, stepmom, grandma, aunt or that mother figure in your life? I have been thinking about Mother’s Day for a while now and when I saw the Sterling Silver Photo Bracelet from Snapfish by HP, my heart skipped [...]
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 [...]
With Spring in full force here in the Midwest, I have been getting things around the house prepared for Spring, but also, I’ve been looking in to ways to prepare my skin. I have dry skin and am victimized to those painful hang nails and peeling cuticles. I decided to try a product called Aquaphor [...]
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 [...]
On March 20th, a fun film was released on Blu-ry Combo Pack, DVD, and digital download. I have been wanting to see this movie ever since I saw it advertise in the theaters. Each week, we set up a family movie night where we have a floor picnic at dinner and watch a movie. The [...]
