Microsoft and Back to School

Microsoft and Back to School I am writing this as part of the Microsoft Bloggers program. All opinions are my own. It seems like summer just started, but yet my children and I are already chatting about what teachers they are hoping to get. The stores are lining their aisles with the latest in backpacks and school supplies and the clothing stores are starting to get their fall/winter gear in. Pure craziness I tell you!

Sponsored Video | Feeding Your Best Friend | Keep Them Healthy with Iams
by 2 Comments
This post has been sponsored by IAMS, but concerns my own opinion As a mom, I spend an unfathomable amount of time worrying about the food I feed my children. Searching for healthy food is an obsession because I want what's best for them. So why wouldn't you do the same for your pets? They say a dog is man's best friend. They are loyal, loving, stubborn and forgiving. No matter how badly you treat them they always forgive and forget. No … [Read more...]
Stopain | Topical Migraine Pain Relief #migrainerelief
by
Samples received. All opinions are my own. Suffering from headaches is an inconvenience and a pain (literally). I have been fortunate to not have had many in my life. But, my husband and son are one of the 36 million people in the US that suffer from debilitating migraines. They describe them as a typical headache times 100.

David Bromstad Art on Coffee-mate Bottles Samples received. All opinions are my own. Coffee is a huge part of my life. It's one of the first things I think about and reach for in the morning. The more I drink, the clearer my mind gets and the better my mood gets. The kids have quickly learned that they need to let Mommy "wake up" with her coffee before starting to ask her questions. I like a good cup of black coffee, but one of the most … [Read more...]

Documenting Memories with Photo Books | Beyond The Baby Book
by 3 Comments
Documenting Memories with Photo Books | Beyond The Baby Book Our children grow so fast. You start at birth by keeping their memories recorded in a baby book. Unfortunately, the more children I had the less full their baby books became. I am horribly embarrassed by this admission, but I have been working hard on trying to document their current memories so that they won't be lost in the past as well. I had a conversation with my six year old … [Read more...]
