Babes and Kids Review

Dove Men + Care Back in March, I introduced you to a new skin care line just for men, the Dove Men + Care skincare line. Since that review, hubby has been using Dove’s new line and still likes it as much as when he first started using it. Here are a few things to…

Soup and Salad If you were to ask my hubby what one of my favorite things to do are, it he would tell you eating out. And he would be right. I like it for a number of reasons. Number 1, I don’t have to cook. Number 2, I don’t have to cook. Number 3,…

What Would You Do? What would you do with 1 million dollars? I know I would do what a lot would do. Pay off our home, vehicle, and student loans. I also think it would be fun to take my entire family on a vacation, go on a shopping spree, and then save and invest…

For participating Box Tops products that you buy, you can earn money for your school. After browsing around, I noticed that the elementary school that Chandler…

Our Rides As I type this, we have two vehicles that have a significant amount of miles. Although I’d love to be driving something brand new, that’s not really realistic with our budget, so it’s important that our cars last. Right now we have a little commuter car that has 135,000 miles on it that…

Thomas the Tank Engine “Thomas the tank engine rolling along…..” Yes, that was me singing the Thomas theme, and I’m sure you do too, or at least get it stuck in your head if you’ve got a Thomas fan in your home. Being the mom of two little boys, Thomas is a well known figure….

Cookies….Yum. If you spent any given amount of time at our house, you would quickly see that we are a cookie and cookie dough family. It’s our go to treat because it’s delicious, easy to make, and everyone loves it. I will often keep pre-made cookie dough on hand for a quick warm treat for…

Squeaker I have two stealth little boys who like to wander. Chan is getting better since he’s approaching 5, but Rowan is a different story. He’s a mastermind at getting outside when he’s not supposed to, wandering quietly away at the store, and just plain running away. Sometimes I don’t want to go anywhere because…

JumpStart Influence Over the past year, JumpStart has had a big influence in our home with our 4 year old. We’ve tried out everything from JumpStart online, to Pet Rescue and Escape from Adventure Island for Wii. I’ve always been impressed with what Chandler is learning from JumpStart and would definitely recommend it to family…

iphones & Apps I got an iphone about 5 months ago. I love it, and I live on it. The capabilities are amazing, and the applications run right along that line as well. It’s also been a lifesaver when I’ve been out and about with the boys and we’ve had to wait somewhere. Instead of…

It’s Hot! It’s hot here. Hot where you live? I’m sure most of you would answer yes. We’ve been staying cool by playing in the water outside, just staying inside, and with popsicles and ice cream. When I see ice cream of any sort, it screams summer. It brings back great memories for me. To…

Written by Jeralee, Guest Reviewer We all have something that we are passionate about, and what better way than to express it on our clothing! Recently I was given the opportunity to design a shirt through Fibers.com. You can shop for one of their graphic t-shirts or other apparel, or design your own custom t-shirts. From their…

DownEast Basics Swim I’ve said in the past that DownEast Basics is one of my favorite clothing stores. Functional, adorable, great quality and priced reasonably. So it’s no wonder when I got the chance to try out some of their swimwear that I jumped on it. Pros: The ladies swimwear line this summer is nothing…

Kids and Digital Cameras I can’t even begin to tell you how many times my boys are trying to sneak my digital camera to take pictures. They think it’s fun, however I don’t want my camera broken, so I’m constantly taking it away, which results in tears and tantrums. That’s where a kid friendly digital…
