Project 366 Day 5 Highs & Lows I chose this photo as “the one” for the day because this is how I prefer to see my children. They had a blast playing Hot Wheels on the floor this evening. There is more to the day though… This photo is of heartbroken Ethan. Emma decided she was going to be the first person to play with his squirt gun he got for Christmas and tried to yank it out of his hands. It shattered into pieces… leaving … [Read more...]
Ode to the Local Park

This is a guest post by Becky Wilcox: Ode To The Local Park A couple weeks ago, I began to get bored of the dull winter routine and began to think of a warm, exotic, overseas trip for myself and my family. In my free time, I started looking for airline deals and credit cards without foreign transaction fees in place of my usual searches for children’s clothing and the best credit cards cash back rewards. I dreamt of places like Europe and the … [Read more...]
Shameless Season One on DVD/Blu-Ray | Your Advice to Fiona?
Don’t forget… Season 2 premieres on Sun, Jan 8 at 9PM ET/PT on Showtime. Frank Gallagher tends to spend every penny he can muster at the bar. If you could take just a portion of that money and give it to his daughter Fiona, what would you tell her to do with it? Take a long, much needed vacation? Invest in a new house? Feed the family for a year? Etc... I think the poor child needs a break… a vacation alone! I have a fairly “normal” life … [Read more...]

by
Missouri winters can be cold and harsh. But when the heat turns on, the air gets terribly dry in our house.

Humidifiers help moisten nasal passages and soothe dry coughs so everyone can breathe easier and sleep peacefully through the night. Knowing this, we installed a whole house humidifier several years back. It has since stopped working … [Read more...]

Project 366 : Day 3 Ballerina Girl Small story behind the photo. Emma has walked on her tip toes since she could walk. Recently I asked her why she walks on her tip toes.

#WIN Babycakes Cupcake Maker & Cookbook: #GIVEAWAY : [CLOSED] : #rafflecopter
by
Babycakes Cupcake Maker & Cookbook I love baking (and decorating) cakes and cupcakes. I’ve recently found the joy of mini cupcakes. They are portion controlled and having a second one won’t throw your diet off track near as much as having a second slice of cake. Sometimes, though, I would love to not heat up the entire house to make a batch. That is where the Babycakes cupcake maker comes in. With the original Babycakes cupcake … [Read more...]
