**Originally published 8/3/2011** I am at my friends house tonight. We have eaten dinner, have had great conversation and our 6 kids have happily played – loudly -throughout the evening. We decided before I got here this evening that this would be a sleep over. That way, I could indulge in adult beverages and not [...]
It has never been my style to go after people who do dumb things. I have so much dumb in my life that it could be considered hypocritical. But sometimes, I just have to speak. Because the dumb is too big! Recently, Gwyneth Paltrow announced her ‘uncoupling’ from Chris Martin. I did not care much [...]
**This is a post in Partnership with @driscollsberry** Making cakes is just FUN! But I have limited skill in it. I can bake a cake. I can decorate on an elementary level, but icing is always my nemesis. Ideas are too! I never know how people get great shapes and fun designs for the cake [...]
With the Spring Holidays upon us, many have Ham on their Easter table. Ham is pretty easy to make as is, right? Pop it in the oven, bake and serve. But what it, this year, you could do less work and create an even more spectacular ham? Like this Slow Cooker Spiral Ham Recipe! [...]
This post is written in partnership with Global Influence #BeMoreTea One movie that the girls and I have on the list to see AS SOON AS POSSIBLE is Muppets Most Wanted! We are huge fans of Kermit, Ms Piggy and the gang and it thrills me that I can pass on the beloved characters of [...]
**This post is written in Partnership with SocialMoms.com** Born 41 years ago to a family who had too many kids and too little resources to care for them, I was not supposed to - by statistics - be much of anything. But as I grew and had some really amazing people in my life to [...]
One film has taken over this house like no other! FROZEN is my daughter's first choice, last choice, and every choice in between. Though I have watched it with them many time, I am amazed at how much they retain. My 4 year old, Megan and my 6 year old, Sarah, act out every song [...]
Thanks to Alpine Lace® for sponsoring today's discussion about my Life Balances. Writings and opinions are my own. #LifeIngredients So many times in my life I have started to get healthier and then fallen off the wagon. I have reverted back to my old ways. Ways that were awesome when I was 20 and able [...]
*This is a post in partnership with Flipp. Opinions are my own.** It's that time! Time to SPRING CLEAN. I realize it just snowed across the Northern US (again) but Spring has to come, right? After a year of Winter, we are ALL looking to air out the house and de-clutter for the season! If [...]
This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #TENways http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV #TENways #PMedia #ad One of my favorite things in the whole world is a Root Beer Float. But, as I have gotten older and become [...]
From the moment the girls and I entered the theater to preview FROZEN to the moment it arrived in our home, we have been overrun with the songs, the story, the toys and the amazing CD accompanying the film. Possibly the best Disney movie ever put out, songs like ‘Let It Go’ and characters like [...]
Growing up, Winnie the Pooh was one of my favorite characters. So to be able to share Pooh, Roo and the entire crew with my kids is awesome. The classic Winnie the Pooh Springtime with Roo movie is now out on Blu-Ray DVD! My girls- especially my 4 year old – love this movie! Good [...]
