Travel, Dating and Finding The One

I’ve always wanted to travel oversees. Particularly places like Ireland, France and the UK. The landscapes are beyond breathtaking and to be honest, the accents on the men make them even more attractive *swoon*. I’ve been fortunate in life... I met my husband when I was 16, got married at 18 and started my family at 21. I’ve never really been much of an adventurous type, but if I hadn’t found the love of my life at such an early age I maybe, … [Read more...]

Premier Protein | Sustain Your Energy & Curb Your Hunger

I have been on the go a lot lately. Some days I don’t have time to sit down to eat for long stretches at a time. It’s not a great idea to not eat and other options (like a drive thru) can be total junk and not beneficial to you at all. I’ve started carrying a protein bar with me for times like this. It may seem like such a small amount of food, but it totally stops my stomach from growling and gets me through until the next meal time. Premier … [Read more...]

Dress Barn Clothing For Misses & Woman Review

Several weeks ago I received an amazing email inviting me to New York City to attend the Tribeca Film Festival red carpet screening of Marvel’s The Avengers. After the initial excitement wore off I began to panic a little. As a stay at home mom, I don’t normally dress up... therefore I had nothing to wear. After a little searching I found a dress that works well for me, but I was still very much unaccessorized. Dress Barn heard my cries and … [Read more...]

NIKE Young Athletes Innovation Summit | Update On Joshua’s Day

  Yesterday Joshua (my 15 year old son) and my husband, Jason, flew out to Oregon to visit the NIKE World Headquarters for the Young Athletes Innovation Summit. This was Joshua’s first time flying since he was a tiny baby and he was beyond excited. The experience was great and Josh has a funny story about being stopped for random screening by the TSA. Both of my guys have enjoyed the past two days together. I’m loving the extra … [Read more...]

BlogMania Sponsor Spotlight | Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler Review

Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler Recycling in our city is mandatory. Well, paying for recycling is. We figure if we have to pay, then I guess we’ll play. Fortunately for us our recycling program is a one sort one... meaning we put everything into one container and we’re done with it. Our main issue is having an adequate container to recycle in. With a family of six and three of us home all day long, we product a lot of waste. Rubbermaid heard our … [Read more...]

New York & Macys | I’ve Made It!

I just spent a marvelous day in New York yesterday doing the whole touristy thing. After a good long walk to Time Square from our hotel I was already overwhelmed with the sites, smells and visual stimulation that New York offers. Everywhere I turned there was something I wanted to take a photo of! By the time we purchased our double decker bus tour pass my dogs were barking at me... I seriously was considering hopping off the bus at the Macy’s … [Read more...]

Time For A Kitchen Remodel?

I am a fairly predictable creature. When spring arrives, so does the bug to declutter, rearrange and redecorate. When we purchased our house 10 years ago, the main feature we both agreed needed to be updated eventually is our kitchen. The first thing we’d love to do is remove the wall between the kitchen and the front living room. This will create a large space to allow a kitchen, dining area and sitting area to co-exist. Next on the list is … [Read more...]

TXTNG & DRIVING | AT&T’s “It Can Wait” Campaign

“Reading a text is like driving blind.” I will admit it... I have been known to try to text a few words while driving. I’ve heard the horror stories, but I have finally found my reason to stop texting & driving. If you have a few minutes I highly encourage you to watch this YouTube Video The Last Text: AT&T Documentary. I have taken the pledge and will no longer text while driving. NOTHING is that important... and if it is, I will pull … [Read more...]
