Reviews, Giveaways, and All Things Family!
Blogging has been an outlet of mine for years. I got my start on Blogger with my family blog, called Snedfam, in July 0f 2007. I can type a lot faster than I can write so I figured that it would be easier to stay consistent with an online blog. Plus, I could share videos [...]
Experience Scottsdale Before this last month, I honestly would not have even considered going on a family vacation to Scottsdale Arizona. Although I’ve been to Arizona and to the Grand Canyon as a child, I was pretty unfamiliar with the area. Our family got the chance to take a road trip down to Scottsdale and [...]
Last week, our family went down to Scottsdale Arizona for a family vacation. The weather was beautiful, we had so much fun, and we made a lot of great memories that I know we will all remember. Vacation is one thing that we specifically set money aside for so we make sure to go a [...]
I’m going to be 30 tomorrow! We let our boys open an early present, which made the thought of turning 30 not so bad. Watch the video below to see what the surprise was.
My baby turned 5 a few days ago. I’m still in denial. I remember him as a little baby, a toddler. I look back on the last 5 years and wonder where the time has gone. I’m glad that he’s still little, but it reminds me to take each day at a time [...]
Holiday Baking With Maytag Ever since I was younger, I’ve loved to bake. I’m not amazing when it comes to baking, but I think I can hold my own in the kitchen. November through the end of December is definitely my favorite time of year to bake. From Thanksgiving pies, to Christmas cakes and comfort [...]
May you take this day and many more to come to be thankful for what you have. I am thankful for life, the most wonderful family a girl could ask for, food to eat and a roof over my head with heat and hot water. I’m also thankful for my Heavenly Father and for what [...]
Our Halloween was filled with parties, trick-or-treating, candy, candy and more candy. The boys looked nothing short of adorable. We hope you had a happy and safe Halloween!
Universal Studios The last stop that we made on our California vacation in August was to Universal Studios Hollywood. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from Universal Studios but we all really liked it. I liked that there were entertainment options as well as rides. As part of our experience, we had front of [...]
Disneyland & California Adventure It has been 16 years since I have been to Disneyland and I’ve never been to California Adventure, so I was so excited to go with my family last month. I’m not sure if my kids or I were more excited to go. The boys had been talking about it for [...]
Making the Most of Your Healthcare Plan Healthcare is very important to my family and me. One reason is because I want my family to get the best care possible and having a plan helps with that. The other reason is because I am a healthcare professional myself and I see just how needed it [...]
SeaWorld San Diego On our California vacation last month, we were lucky enough to be able to do a SeaWorld San Diego Review. My husband had been to SeaWorld when he was younger, but it was a first for the boys and me. We got to SeaWorld San Diego early in the morning and were [...]
Written by Sara, guest reviewer The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure Movie When was the last time your family enjoyed a G rated movie in a theater? As a mother of four small boys, I’ve found that most of the children’s movies we’ve attended are rated PG and usually have some dark scenes and [...]
Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament Our first stop on our in California for our vacation was to Medieval Times. I first heard about Medieval Times this last spring. A friend told me that if we were visiting southern California that it is a must do. I was definitely curious and after visiting the website, I [...]
We’re back from our 8 day vacation to southern California. We had an amazing time and were able to visit the beach, a special knights show, and 4 different theme parks. I’m slowly getting back into the groove of things, and we have one more 2 1/2 day family reunion before we jump right back [...]
Last December, when I finished my 4th semester of my ultrasound program, I told my hubby I wanted to take a big family vacation when I graduated. I was set to graduate the end of July 2012. When deciding on a location, I knew in the back of my mind exactly where I wanted [...]
If you’ve noticed, I’ve been scarce this last week! I just got home from Blogher 12 in New York City and am absolutely exhausted! We got home later than anticipated since a lot of flights to new york and out of new york were delayed. There were some crazy storms and we didn’t take off [...]
National Park and Recreation Month I love that the boys are out of school in the summer. We are able to go and play as a family and make memories together. We spend a lot of time outside, which I definitely believe is good for my kids. We live in a day and age when [...]
I’m hoping that everyone had a Happy and fun 4th of July. We had a fabulous time celebrating our independence. Aside from Sparkler burns and two little exhausted boys, we had a fabulous time celebrating with family. Our day consisted of playing at the lake, water fights, a parade, barbecuing and a big fireworks show. [...]
Most Valuable Dads This last weekend, we had a day to celebrate those men in our lives that mean so much to us. My own dad, my grandpa, my father in law, and my wonderful sweet husband. I can’t even put into words how much my husband means to me and just how great of [...]
Ever since my hubby and I have been married (almost 8 years), he’s driven an older beater car with no air conditioning. He’s been through 4 different cars in that time. I know it hasn’t been enjoyable coming 30-45 minutes home from work in a car with no air conditioning, but we’ve made do with [...]
Meet Bessie. She’s our first pet ever. 4 years old, green eyes, sleeps all day, plays at night, looks like a cow….maybe that’s why she has a cow name? (We didn’t want to change it.) Likes to purr and scratch her head on door frames. Boys are ecstatic. I think I like her.
Imaginative Play for Boys I’ve been the mom of a boy for 6 1/2 years, two boys for 4 1/2 years. I’ve learned to see the world a bit differently through the eyes of these little boys and quite honestly I love it. Although they are still young, I can see each of their personalities [...]
Monday nights in our home are reserved for teaching and playing as a family. Sometimes it only lasts a few minutes, other times hours. Sometimes the boys are excited and attentive, sometimes they aren’t. Regardless, I heard a quote once that said, “A family that plays together, stays together.” Every family dynamic and situation is [...]
When I found out over 4 1/2 years ago that our second baby would be a boy, I was so excited. Being that he would be just 2 years younger than his brother I figured that they would be great friends. I knew it would take some time before they were good friends, but knew [...]
I was looking at some fitness and yoga poses and was amazed at how these people can shape their bodies. If these aren’t inspiration, I don’t know what is!? Happy Monday! Source: Eugenia Woods Source: Devon Alessi on Pinterest Source: Love Stretch on Tumblr Source: Fit Sugar Source: Meditation-Yoga
