Stay away Germs
The entire family is pretty much sick. Sniffle here, sniffle there. Our weather has been nuts. I’m not sick yet and I sure hope to keep it that way. Anyone have a plastic bubble I can borrow? (Although Lucas wouldn’t know how to attach to Mommy)
2013 Bell Tower Festival Parade
Yesterday we traveled to my husband’s hometown for the Bell Tower Festival Parade. Kelsie is with her Dad right now so it was only Aubrey and the twins. Steven’s 10 year reunion is actually this year and the Class of 2003 was part of the parade. I can not tell you how anxious I was […]

National Rocky Road Day
If you are dieting, this probably isn’t a post you want to look at. June 2nd is officially National Rocky Road Day. Rocky road ice cream is a delicious dessert with an interesting culinary history.

Disastrous Weather Near and Far

“Good Hands for the Good Life” from Allstate #GoodLife
This post brought to you by Allstate. All opinions are 100% mine. Now that I am a parent, I find myself cautious to make sure my family stays safe. Even then though, I know that there is risk no matter where we go in life and we can't let it hold us back from […]
The WWE is heading to Bedrock! #WWEMoms
You all know by now, I am a HUGE John Cena fan. I was beyond pumped when I found Fruity Pebbles with John Cena on them (to the point my Mom rolled her eyes at me) and stocked up. Today, the WWE and Warner Brothers announced they will be teaming up to bring WWE to […]
