Let Your Kids Be Kids Are your kids involved in enough activities? Or have you put them in too many? Finding a balance between not enough and too much can be difficult. We have all seen those TV shows that have put the lime light on kids who are bred to be superstars in their craft. I do have a bit of an addiction to dance moms and can somewhat relate to … [Read more...]

Unreal is Candy Unjunked Samples were received free of charge to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own. Back in March I shared my newest (and one of my yummiest) healthier/cleaner option finds... Unreal’s Unjunked Candy. I gladly stuffed my kids Easter baskets with Unreal candy and watched happily as they enjoyed every last bite of it. I loved that my kids could still enjoy candy without the added junk, with less sugar and with more … [Read more...]
When Our Babies Grow Up And Leave The Nest
by 8 Comments
When Our Babies Grow Up And Leave The Nest Nature recently taught me a lesson about my own life and the process of raising my children. We were privileged to have a Robin build her nest on our covered back porch and lay her eggs. It wasn’t long before the baby birds hatched. They were weak, fragile and needed the protection of their Mom and Dad just like human infants are. Before we knew it they were moving around a little … [Read more...]

Gelish MINI Soak Off Gel Nail Polish Gel Manicure System Back in February of this year I was invited to the red carpet premier of Oz the Great and Powerful.

Natural Ways to Manage Menopause Symptoms
by 8 Comments
Natural Ways to Manage Menopause Symptoms Menopause and perimenopause seem to be big taboo topics, even in this day and age. Heck, even my family has never discussed it so I really have no family history and have no idea when to expect “the change”. Fortunately the internet has tons of information at our fingertips and I’ve been doing a little digging. I’ve recently started realizing how our diet effects many aspects of our lives and have been … [Read more...]
Dining Out With Kids
by 13 Comments
Dining Out With Kids I admit it, when I was young and unencumbered by little ones I rolled my eyes when families piled all of their babies and toddlers into a booth near me at a restaurant. I steeled myself against their eventual shrieks and cries. I held my breath hoping to avoid flying napkins and baguettes. I commiserated with a waitress as toddlers tore up and down the aisle twisting her up in their game of tag. For the first few years … [Read more...]
