Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
My mother-in-law saved all of my husband's Legos from when he was little. I mean seriously--entire, complete sets preserved for the last 20 years. That's some serious care. All the Legos from my house growing up are missing tons of pieces and my mom probably threw the rest out. Anyway, so one day she pulled them all out for my 5-year-old son to start building with. They would spend hours building Legos together. And she started to … [Read more...]

I'm pretty fortunate...I've never had a problem with dairy. I can eat ice cream, cheese, milk, till the cows come home (pun intended.) But my husband and kids are not so much that way. And so many other people around the world suffer with some level of lactose intolerant. To be honest, my family is not that intolerant...if that's the right way to say that. But if they have a lot of lactose for extended period of time, things start to … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of ZzzQuil for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I sometimes suffer from insomnia. Not all the time, but I go through phases where I just toss and turn for hours before falling asleep. And if my kids wake me up in the middle of the night--not a prayer that I will be able to fall back to sleep before another three hours. I seems to happen more during stressful periods when I have a … [Read more...]

I have to tell you, I am seriously excited about having these spices in my collection because summer is all about fresh Mexican food! I love making anything with fresh salsas--fruit or regular. I love Mexican and … [Read more...]
You might remember this little gem of a picture. My kids are 1) adorable, and 2) very, very messy. They can't even eat a few crackers without making a giant mess. That being said, my least favorite chore is doing laundry And what do you know, messy kids=lots of laundry. It is the most daunting and endless chore in my house...it's never done! Even if you work all day to be completely caught up, you are behind once again as soon as … [Read more...]
I was challenged this month to do a room makeover for my family room or dining room with $250 of Better Homes and Gardens products (available at Walmart.) I was excited to see what I could do to my family room because it has been sadly neglected by me. I didn't really notice that it was so pathetic until I did this challenge, actually. But now I LOVE it! Can you even believe how a few accessories and decor items can drastically change the … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of dio for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I just discovered the most awesome website...dio.com. It's way more versatile for users of every interest, but for me, it is kind of like what I wish my blog really was. I have a feeling that I'll be spending a lot more time on Dio.com! Here's what it is: Basically you create a 'place.' Your place can be anything really, it can be an … [Read more...]
