Christmas shopping is here. We go through what we bought so and so last year and what are the best gifts for that one person on our shopping list that has it all. Sometimes, we all are clueless what to buy. itsThoughtful has created an online community to find the best gift for everyone on […]
Being a mom takes on many tasks. Sometimes I think if my head wasn’t attached, I would have lost it by now. From my doctor’s appts. to take the girls for activities, my calendar is always full. When it comes to getting organized, I need all the help I can get. In comes the 2011 […]
This weekend I was given the chance to encounter a historic dinner at Living History Farms and was excited for the chance to have a learning experience as well as a great meal. This came at perfect timing as Steven and I had just discussed taking the girls out for one of the family events. […]
I have two little girls that love to check out unique clothing designs. They both get a kick out of being able to pick out some of the clothes they wear and are always looking for new items to check out. The girls are always checking out clothes and pointing out the designs that catch […]
With Halloween trick-or-treating over, we all know how important it is to keep those teeth clean. As most of us know, the best way to teach a child is to role model. Listerine and REACH have teamed up with America’s Toothfairy to create the Oral Care Challenge, urging parents and children over six years of […]
When it comes to my little girls, I love unique and stylish clothes for them. They get a kick out of picking out clothes themselves and of course, the independence of having a say. With the holidays around the corner, my girls will of course be all about not just the toys but the clothes […]
Although my children are not in school yet, I have two school-aged brothers. Education is one of the most important things out there for children. By creating a strong education, you are setting the stepping stones for success. Unfortunately, finances get in the way of our schools creating the best education. But Bing is committing […]
As the end of October draws near, another week down has happened on the Total Gym. Unfortunately, I’ve only been able to get in one workout which stinks considering the whole purpose of the Total Gym Challenge. I have worked out twice with my new Physical Therapist and when I told her I have a […]
With the holidays just around the corner, it’s time to start getting those Christmas cards prepared and ready to send out. I can admit that I am a procrastinator normally with this so I’ve been working on getting addresses rounded up in a plan to have all my cards ready to go by the 1st […]
When it comes to the end of the day, it’s time for everyone in the house to just wind down and relax. Aubrey and Kelsie will sprawl out to lay down and watch a show or will want cuddle time. With winter coming around, we’ll be taking LOTS of cuddle time. My Pillow Pets is […]
With weather getting cold and those of you parents with kids in daycare and school, we all know germs are EVERYWHERE. Last year, we were one of the families that were hit by the H1N1 virus and it was not fun. I cleaned everything in sight to keep it contained and it was a task. […]
Since I started using the Total Gym, I’ve felt stronger. I can hold my girls longer, I have more energy overall, and I’m just feeling better. While I’m not losing weight as fast as I want to, my body is still getting stronger, something I need. I’m still dealing with pain though, something that hopefully-my […]
Well, this week has sucked for workout. I have slacked. With three doctor’s appts. (and that’s not counting the chiropractor appointments) and an ER visit, I think you can understand what I’m getting at. My back was giving me issues and in turn, I ended up with one of those nasty migraines I can not […]
Have you ever noticed that vitamins most of the time are full on horse pills? Since I’ve been taking a more proactive approach to my health, I have been focusing on taking daily vitamins to get my energy levels up and help with metabolism, etc. Having to swallow that pills sometimes can be a total […]
I love candles. I also LOVE having soft skin and a massage anytime I can get one. Recently, I was given the chance to check out Scandle’s Shimmering Lotion Candle that smelled like Warm Vanilla Sugar. It smelled good enough to eat! As an individual that has dry skin from my health issues, I love […]
