Homemade Cheez Its!
I was out and about surfing the web when I ran across a recipe for cheese crackers, that I knew I had to try. I almost always pick up a box of Cheez Its in the store. They have been around since I was a child and I still love them even today. So when I ran into a way to make my own baked crackers, I jumped at the chance to try and make a new family favorite. At first I had high hopes that these would taste just like the real thing, but to ...
Rockboard Scooter Review and Giveaway!
If you have kids and you have a garage, it might look a lot like mine. We have about twelve different things with wheels on it, and every outdoor play thing known to mankind. I didn't have half of the things, I see kids with today, and sheepishly I admit that I would even like to have some of them. Scooters seem to be a big deal in our neighborhood, I have seen motorized scooters, scooters with three wheels, my boys have scooters that spark, and I've even seen those ripstick things that look like anyone would break their neck on. ...
VTech DS6421-3 Cordless Phone
This one time (recently), our cordless phone was left on the bumper of the car (whoops!), and my husband, took it for a little drive where it spent the night lonely on the side of the road in the rain. It still worked sort of, but no one could hear me when I talked. It’s been a long time since I’ve paid much attention to cordless telephones. If you’re anything like me, you look at a cordless phone and think “hey, it’s just a phone, what’s the difference?”. Thanks to VTech, I’ve had a chance to play around with a ...
My Ford Flex Experience
Not having a car payment is nice. Then you drive by the car dealership on your way home one day and you see those shiny new cars sitting on the lot. Stylish, sleek, with the latest gadgets and gizmos. You read about some of the newer models online, maybe you take one or two for a test drive, but it’s hard to really evaluate a car in such a short time span. Thanks to Ford, we recently got a unique opportunity to really put a car to the “real world” test. The folks at Ford allowed me ...

No Speak English at the Grocery Store
I have a tiny little rant. I was at the store looking for something and another product caught my eye. I was attempting to read the front of the packaging so I could find out the information I needed and the specifics. I stood there for several minutes flipping the box around at all angles to find the instructions in plain English. I am running... [Read more]
Parenting Is
Growing up, I spent a lot a time around kids, and always took on the mothering role. I was the one in the neighborhood who offered to watch your kids for free, just so I could tote them around everywhere. As I got a little older, and eventually got married, having a family was one of the things that I knew was important to me. When you don’t... [Read more]

Couch Shopping and The Sales People
My husband and I are shopping for a new couch. It seems easy right? Well, you would be surprised how easy it is not. First you have to actually find a color and style that looks good to you, then you have to sit your butt down on it and see if you could sit there comfortably for an hour or more. Then there are the feature that you want and the... [Read more]
Asthma, Sick Kids, Hospitals and the Pharmacy
Sometimes when you’re in the middle of what seems like a whirlwind of things going on, you think about some of the strangest things. This week, one of my boys got very sick and ended up at the hospital. While waiting in the hospital room, I heard nurses and doctors talking about signing off on meds, dispensing them and so forth…. As consumers... [Read more]
Survivor and Survivorman What Would You Do?
I have always loved watching the show Survivor with my husband, and I also love watching that show the Survivorman. Both shows are completely different in how the people involved go about surviving in their environment. I like to call Survivor a “fluffy” way to live in the wild. I have always complained that the show itself isn’t... [Read more]

Shout Color Catcher *Review and Giveaway*
Laundry reproduces like bunnies in our house. There isn’t even a full day where I can officially say I am all done or caught up on doing laundry. I get a less than satisfied look on my face when I turn a corner and the hamper has a few articles of clothing in it after I just emptied it. Then there is the tiny load dilemma, where I have...

Omniture Tools You Need For Success
When I first started blogging, I was fairly lost at how to go about starting one. There are so many different aspects of starting a blog that you don’t think about. You start mainly with it’s design and layout and then you go from there. I only thought it was a matter of posting daily but then as I went along and learned more about... [Read more of this review]

SanDisk Memory Vault Protect Your Valuable Photos Review and Coupon
Before I had my children I just dabbled in photography and didn’t particularly take that many photos. Once they were born, as all new parents do, I felt compelled to snap numerous pictures of the boys each and every day as they grew. Even though I didn’t have all of them printed, I slowly over time, have acquired thousands of images... [Read more of this review]

Family Movie Night Game Of Your Life December 2nd on NBC!
Teaching our kids to make the right choices is something that you hope to instill in them before they go off on their own. Life is full of lessons, that we either learn the easy way or sometimes the hard way. It is hard to watch your children do this, but often times these are things that help them in the end. At least once a week we watch movies... [Read more of this review]
