It’s here! We are officially on vacation! The first time as a family of four. I had my doubts, it’s been a rough week. Three evening baseball games, a water pipe that had a nail in it (I’ll share that story later) which caused major water mess in my daughters room, and Paige being sick, again. So, my posting will slow down due to lack of Internet but no fear! I will return! I have my email, so please feel free to email me and I’ll be back on the 7th of July.  Read More →

One of the most important part of any vacation is the packing. I’ll admit, it’s not my favorite thing to do, but thanks to the Kushies My Bag, it’s pretty easy. Kushies sent over the My Bag for us to try out and take on our vacation to Kentucky. It’s funny because when I opened the box to show Paige she said “My Bag?”. What a smart girl! Then of course, she started barking. She won’t say puppy or dog, but when she sees one she’ll bark. The My Bag has a generous size to it, with separate bags to keep organized. It also comes with a soft fleece blanket and small pillow. The smaller bags have descriptive pictures to help you maintain some organization.... [more]

I have a Shredder. His name is Johnny and he’s 9 years old. He was hooked the moment he saw the Shred Sled website. So, what exactly is it? Designed with wheels like in-line skates, it’s a skateboard that makes you feel like you are skating, surfing and snowboarding all at the same time! With Shred Sled’s new dual deck caster board you can easily start Shredding in no time! Here’s how it works, It consists of two boards, coupled with a flexible connector, which allows both boards to rotate around the vertical and horizontal axes. This 4-wheel, dual-deck carve board makes it SMOOTHER and EASIER to start carving up the streets. Its fun and much easier to control... [more]

Finally, it’s Friday! I’m once again joining in on Aloha Friday over at An Island Life! In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. On to the question ‘o the week…and I’m twisting it up this week… Would you rather walk barefoot on hot cement or have brain freeze? This is a tricky one, but I’m going with brain freeze, it’s painful…but only for a few seconds. I’m just not a fan of the sun, heat and blistered... [more]

When I was contacted by Tourance, I jumped at the chance to review (and giveaway!) their swaddling blankets. Paige is my blanket baby. While she’s moved on into the toddler-hood…she loves her “softs“. Yes, she calls her blankets “softs“. I’m a firm believer in the power of swaddling, we still swaddled Paige every night for bed until she was a year. She slept better and instantly relaxed. I preferred the stretchy blankets, but had a hard time finding them. The swaddling blankets offered at Tourance are not only some of the softest blankets you’ll find, but they have that stretch. All while being a lightweight blanket!I was given the Fleur... [more]

I am a Mama who loves, needs and has to have coffee. My saying “Give me coffee, or give me death.” I’m not kidding. However, I’m the only person in the house who drinks coffee, and I was a little freaked out about going on vacation and missing my morning kick in the pants coffee, because it won’t be of high importance to those non-coffee drinkers. That’s why I love Keurig! From their website… The Keurig Story The word “keurig” is derived from the Dutch word for excellence, and it is our promise to you. Excellence guides everything we do, from our patented single-cup brewing technology, to the gourmet brands of coffee and tea that are... [more]

I think it’s finally summer around here! Not weather wise by any means, but the activities have taken over our lives. Above (they constantly screw around), Johnny and my brother Levi were headed out to the Rodney Adkins concert. Johnny received tickets for Christmas and could choose one person to go with. Truth be told, I’m so glad he picked Levi. I would have rather shoved toothpicks in my ears all night than have to listen to country music (nothing against you, Rodney, it’s just not my thing). Johnny LOVED every minute of the concert…he said the only thing better would have been able to meet Rodney Adkins in person. Yesterday we had Go Cart racing. A full day... [more]

I was lucky enough to receive the Kokopax Blakely Ring Tote. This bag is one of the best multifunctional bags I’ve ever seen! I love it! There are six gorgeous and trendy fabrics to choose from. Made from 100% cotton canvas, this tote can be washed and still look brand new. The inside is a nylon lining that reminds me of a mesh…but durable. I appreciate the size of this bag, I’m a mom who likes to throw everything into one bag and fish it out later. The inside of the Blakely Ring Tote has 3 deep pockets. I keep my chap stick, hand lotion and hand sanitizer in one. Cell phone, Peek and Vado in another and pens, and mini notebook in another. There is still plenty of... [more]

It’s been a few weeks since I have participated, so I’m jumping right in! Here’s the deal from Kalani herself… In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. Where is your favorite place to eat out of town? I love Red Lobster! Sometimes Brand and I make a date out of it and drive to Kearney (about an hour and a half away) for lunch or dinner there. We’ve made a resolution of sorts to eat only at places we don’t have in our area while on vacation,... [more]

Did you know that more than half (54%) of blender owners have poured their mixes into another container that then goes into the refrigerator. More than a third (36%) have placed the whole blender jar in the fridge. I fit into both categories. Let’s face it…summer is here! (Despite this rainy weather!) It’s time to partake in all of those summer activities that make childhood fun. One of our favorites is Kool-Aid Slushies. It’s really simple and kids love it!
