Soda From Home There’s something about having an ice cold soda in hand on a hot summer day. The cold taste, plus the fizz is a great combination. Did you know that there is a way to get that great fizz from home, by making it yourself? I had absolutely no idea until I was…

Learning to Ride a Bike Learning to ride a bike is definitely a milestone in a child’s life. Having mom and dad run beside them, using training wheels, finally getting it on their own. But what if you had a bike that prepped your child to go straight to riding without training wheels? That’s where…

Play-doh Fun Factory I’ve blogged about Play-doh a few times in the past, so you already know that I think it’s a great activity for the boys. It’s perfect for those rainy summer days, when you can’t go outside, but don’t want the kids watching tv either. Play-doh is great at helping little imaginations, and…

Strollers In the last 4 1/2 years, we’ve had 5 different strollers. We’ve had everything from a single stroller that went with our first travel system, to the Jeep Wrangler All Weather Umbrella Stroller featured in this post. Having an umbrella stroller is a first for us, so it was interesting to see what we…

Protection From the Sun As the weather warms up, and the sun heats things up, most kids will be spending more time outside. We have a pool that we fill up in our backyard, and also love going swimming in outdoor pools. With the sun comes harmful UV rays. I feel like I am constantly…

Cutting Down It seems like in the summer months, our electric bill goes WAY up. I’m sure it’s due to the hot summers we have here, and the fact that I don’t tolerate a hot house too well. It makes it so I can’t sleep well at night, and I get cranky as well. (I…

Silk Pure Almond I’d never given much thought to almond milk, until I heard about Silk Pure Almond. I haven’t had the chance to try it yet because it’s been a bit hard to find in my area, but I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled because it sounds fabulous. And with a name like Silk,…

Return the Love I want to tell you about someone really special. She’s been there for me since day one, literally even before I made my appearance in this world. She’s the most beautiful person, inside and out. Her laugh is contagious and she makes friends easily. She taught me important values and self worth.  …

Summertime S’mores Nothing screams summer more than a s’more. I have memories of camping with my family, creating memories around a campfire, and eating delicious s’mores. Grahams, chocolate and marshmallows seem to be the perfect combination. Whether you are sharing them around a campfire, or simply at home in your kitchen like we did this…

National Car Care Month Did you know that last month was National Car Care Month? If you didn’t know, you do now! Like most, we are trying to make the most of our vehicles in extending the life of them. Our commuter car gets driven a lot. I drive 35 miles one way to work,…

Most Important Meal Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? Numerous studies have shown that it’s not a good idea to ever skip breakfast, which was a part of life when I was younger. Now that I am older, know better, and have kids, I know how important breakfast is. However, we…

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Freschetta. All opinions are 100% mine. Pizza I think pizza is a bit of a staple in our house. It’s something that I like to keep in the freezer on those nights when I really don’t want to cook, but don’t want to spend…

Baby Food Chances are if you are reading this, you’ve had some sort of experience with baby food. Having had two babies myself, I’ve bought jarred baby food and also have made homemade baby food. Being the curious mom I am, I like to taste what my kids are eating and sometimes I can’t believe…

Mother’s Day Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and I know I have been thinking of my mom and my mother in law as this special day approaches. Gifts aren’t always easy, and sometimes it seems hard to be original, while giving your mom something she will really use. If you are looking for…

Jamie’s Food Revolution I really hadn’t heard too much about Jamie’s Food Revolution until my sister in law brought it up when she was over for dinner. After hearing her talk about it, I decided to check it out for myself. I haven’t actually watched the show yet, but it is set to record on…
