Note: This post is sponsored by Illinois Farm Families. Have you ever stepped foot on a real live farm? I know I haven’t, but as an Illinois Farm Families Ambassador, I may get to this summer and share my experiences with you. In the meantime, you can check out the new movie Farmland. MOST AMERICANS […]
I was recently asked if I’d like to try out a Yale Real Living Key Free Deadbolt for my door. I thought “wow! how high tech!” I said yes, because I hate having keys given out to everyone all over the place for when they pet sit for us (or a roommate that never returned […]
So… I had great intentions for last week. Unfortunately my kids were on spring break. My biggest goal last week was to keep the kids happy and busy so my house wouldn’t become a complete disaster and they would have a great break. I accomplished keeping the kids busy and the house didn’t get too […]
In honor of Throwback Thursday or #TBT, Netflix has sent me a list of old shows to check out and help me take a trip down memory lane. This picture above is of me and my husband when we were dating in high school. I think we were Sophomores in this picture, so that would […]
You may remember I gave out some Trash Pack toys at Halloween instead of giving out candy. My kids really enjoyed playing with these little squishy toys. They still play with the ones we got at Halloween. I was asked to review some new Trashies and to also give away an Easter basket of Trash […]
You may remember that we tried out some Udi’s Gluten Free products two weeks ago. The breads they sent us to try just were not our style but I wanted to do something with them. I decided to use the Udi’s Omega Flax & Fiber Gluten Free bread to make a meatloaf. Then inspiration hit […]
Last week I didn’t get much accomplished. Knowing I had spring break coming up with the kids this week, I wanted to have all of my work scheduled if possible. So in order to meet deadlines, I was writing, A LOT, last week to make it happen. We also decided to take a last minute […]
I have heard nothing but good things about this movie coming out May 9. I finally sat down and watched the trailer last week and now I’m excited to see it myself! I need a moms’ night out badly! Talking to a 5 year old and 2 month old all day just doesn’t do it […]
One of the things I decided I was going to do this year was track my books read because I was curious how much I read in a month and year. I know I read a lot and I know there are people that would put me to shame. My sister would read extremely fast! […]
I have been dying for a family necklace for a very long time. I’ve hinted and flat out asked my husband for one for a few years. I guess it’s a good thing he didn’t get the memo since we decided to add a fourth to our family. I was contacted by Bama + Ry […]
Note: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Seventh Generation. I received a promotional item and product samples as a thank you for participating I’ve teamed up with Seventh Generation to help spread awareness about the importance of chemical reform in the United States. With four small children at home, I worry […]
Skylanders Swap Force came out last year and it was all my boys could talk about. Remember how I shared the Mega Bloks Skylanders Swap Force™ Boss Tank Showdown last year? My boys loved that set so I knew when I was asked to review the Mega Bloks Skylanders SWAP Force™ heroes I needed to jump at […]
Note: This is a sponsored post; all opinions are my own. I was asked to make a twist on a traditional dish: a #NewTraDish using Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce. They asked me to give Eggplant Parmesan a twist. I had never even eaten Eggplant Parmesan before, so coming up with a twist was a little […]
I was recently invited to a campaign where I would receive a Kodak PIXPRO SP1 Action Cam to take a video and compete against 7 other people in their #MomsMVP contest. We were to take a video of our kids being full of action on our new cameras and we are facing off against each […]
I can’t believe week 3 is past already. Because I know I’m sharing with you every Monday, I keep going, otherwise I probably would have dropped out by now. This past week I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked, but I had a baptism to get ready for on Sunday so […]
