Disclosure: I received the follow products for review purposes at no cost to myself. No monetary compensation was provided. All opinions and thoughts are my own. I don’t know about you guys but I would LOVE to hire a maid to come clean my house each week. Unfortunately for us, that doesn’t fit in our budget. But [...]
Did you know it was National Egg Month? Well it is and I love eggs! I love them every way. Over easy, scrambled, and in omelets. I love them in crepes and French toast too. My favorite thing to do is to boil them and make a egg salad sandwich. They are so yummy! Well [...]
Does anyone remember “The Really Big Cooking Show” I went to back in November at Thanksgiving Point? Well, it was an event that featured cooking demonstrations, recipes, other culinary helps and giveaways. They had vendor booths featuring food, jewelry, kitchen products and more!

Back in the day before I had my first baby I actually worked for a scrapbook company. I worked in their accounting department but I was able to see all the new projects they were working on, and I may have become a “little” obsessed with scrapbooking! But after my baby was born I didn’t have [...]
Do you remember the Halloween door wreath I made back in October? Well I had so much fun with it that I wanted to try and make a Valentines Day wreath just like it! But this time instead of using burlap I found some really cute tulle on sale at Hobby Lobby so I [...]
I’ve been doing my own laundry since I was 11. Both my laundry skills and laundry machine technology have come a long way in the 20 years since then. Our washing machine, for example, probably only had a few cycle options on it. The dryer would have been a similar story. Laundry then was [...]

Have you ever seen the books “Where’s Waldo”? Well this is my version with my daughter! Look very closely. Can you find her? This picture was taken when she was 2 years old. Look at all those dolls and stuffed animals! Now flash forward 3 years. She is now 5 and her pile of stuffed animals has probably [...]
Boys! *Sigh* Yep. That’s a 5 year old boy’s shirt for ya. It is a lucky fact that my son’s uniform shirts are not always this dirty. But, on the unfortunate day this picture was taken his shirt had run ins with marker, elderberry syrup, and who knows what that yellow stuff was. I wasn’t [...]
I have a cute new sister-in-law, and she is having so much fun being a newlywed. She is experiencing cooking, cleaning and decorating a house for the first time and is loving it. Oh, how I would love to be 20 and a newlywed again! Anyways, the other night she mentioned that she [...]
Earlier this week I had the opportunity of sitting in on a livestream discussion with Deepak Chopra, Seventh Generation CEO John Replogle, and Breast Cancer Fund CEO Jeanne Rizzo. The discussion focused on how petroleum-based ingredients found in everyday personal care, household cleaning, laundry and baby care products adversely affect our health. Our family tries to live [...]
We’re on month 2 with our new Maytag Bravos HE washer and dryer pair. How do I like them? Well, if how I rave about them to my offline friends is any indication, you could say that I love them. They have truly changed the way I feel about doing laundry. I used to dread [...]
Have you ever opened up your fridge just to be hit with a wave of gross smells? All those fruits, veggies, and leftovers you have in there just combining into one big odor. Now I know that you can put a box of baking soda in there but I never remember to buy an extra [...]
