I Can’t Get it Out of My Head
Last night while laying in bed reading a book, Bubs came in with a worried look on his face. He was frustrated because he couldn't get a particular movie out of his head. This is a movie that we haven't let him see because he struggles with things being scary. This is also a movie that probably 95% of five year olds have seen several times. He ...

Sisters in Christ
I have been blessed many times over in my life with wonderful girlfriends. Currently I have two sweet Sisters-in-Christ who are nothing short of angels.

Okay...I apologize but it is time for a soapbox topic. Everywhere I turn, I hear conversation of how stay-at-home moms can make money. Money saving blogs. Sell this. Sell that. Money management sites and books. Ebay this. Garage sale that. I am 100% on board that we should be good stewards of our God-given money. Personally, I cut out coupons ...
Review: Covermate Food Covers

When I was the given the opportunity to review the CoverMate brand, I was really excited. We all have those dishes that we love but they don't have ...
Review: Wonder Hanger
I know that the Wonder Hanger is a little extreme for me to be reviewing but hear me out - the opportunity presented itself and I thought "if this thing can make my life easier - why not?" So, for the past week, I have found myself using the Wonder Hanger. I think everyone has seen the commercial: The Wonder Hanger® is an ...
Confession Time: Where Have You Been?
Have you wondered where I have been? I understand. My computer time has been cut down drastically. I hope things will be leveling out soon. Confession #1 - We have not done "school" for three weeks. There. I said it. Because of a number of reasons (for another post), we haven't had the time or the energy. ...
