I have been a tried and true Hershey’s lover (probably) from birth. My grandmother always had a large sized Hershey’s chocolate bar with almonds in her bedside table to munch on while reading her magazines in bed. We joked that chocolate ran through our veins instead of blood she ate so much of it. My love of Hershey’s chocolate... well it’s just genetics... right? Unfortunately, I have been working on my waistline (or to put it better... … [Read more...]

by 156 Comments
Melissa & Doug Speck Seahorse Sand Ice Cream Set My kids love to play outside and especially enjoy spending time in the sand box. Ethan will zone out and spend up to an hour digging, plowing, sifting and tunneling his way around in the sand. When Melissa and Doug emailed and offered to let them review a sand ice cream set I had to say “Yes!”. The Speck Seahorse Sand Ice Cream Set is a cute extension of the typical shovel and pail set … [Read more...]

Keeping In Touch With Skype | Impromptu Family Reunions!
I’ve been excitedly planning my trip to New York to attend BlogHer this August. As much fun as I know I will be having, it’s always difficult to leave the family behind. Up until now, I’ve only left them for 2-3 days tops. This trip will be a whopping 5 days. Staying in touch isn’t an issue anymore. With Skype my family at home can still see their Mommy on a daily basis and tell me all about the bugs they caught, how long they jumped on the … [Read more...]

Photo A Day | Day 5 | B&W | #SimplySassySnaps
by 7 Comments
Today’s theme was B&W I snapped this of the two kids playing outside yesterday. They were so happy to finally get outside without a blast oven smacking them in the face. Funny how 90 degrees feels cool after a long wave of 100+. I also wanted to share two of my favorite B&W photos I’ve taken of the kids. I like to add a touch of color into the B&W. The first is of Emma at the beginning of January... before we grew her bangs out. … [Read more...]
