Radio Flyer Ultimate Comfort Wagon : Review
by 4 Comments
Radio Flyer Ultimate Comfort Wagon Emma and Ethan are now 4 (almost 5) and 3. Although they still physically fit, they are just “too big” for the double stroller now. When we would take it out, the only thing that would end up in the stroller was the diaper bag and the shopping bags. As much as I hated to see it go, it was time to move on. So we sold the stroller, but there are still occasions when we are out that they need a little … [Read more...]
Weekly Weigh In Weeks 44 and 40 on Nutrisystem #NSNation : B&A Photos!
by 5 Comments
It’s been 44 weeks on Nutrisystem for myself and 40 weeks for Kaytlin. This week I decided it was time to dig up some old photos and compare them to “now”. Because we were both so self conscious, we did not take formal “before” photos (take a mental note: ALWAYS take before photos). After a little digging I found a few to compare to our current photos. Here I am down 33 pounds compared to “before” and feeling great… This week I lost … [Read more...]

by 286 Comments
I have been on the hunt for a product that would help us get a better nights sleep without breaking the bank. With the extra expenses we’ve had this summer, a new mattress just wasn’t in the budget. A few months back I worked with Sleep Innovations on their REMedy kit for back to school. My daughter experienced some of the best sleep she’s had in years on her mattress topper. When Sleep Innovations offered to have Shout! Media review their 4” … [Read more...]
The Big Bang Theory Season 4 : Roommates
by 5 Comments
Sheldon and Leonard are best friends and roommates who pester each other to no end! This couldn't be more apparent than in Sheldon and Leonard's blinding Roommate Agreement. 'The Big Bang Theory' shows us that living with a roommate can often be a great but difficult experience. I got married very young (18) but I did spend a few months in college sharing a dorm room. Have you ever lived in a dorm with a bunch of Freshmen? O.M.G. girls! … [Read more...]
American Express Prepaid Card : Great for Budgeting, Travel, Kids & More!
by 3 Comments
Years (and years… I won’t say how many) ago my husband and I would always stop by our bank to pick up Travelers Checks for our vacations/travels. We didn’t have a debit card then or a credit card we wanted to use and cash was just a little too risky. What if we lost it, misplaced it or, heaven forbid, were robbed? American Express now has a prepaid card that is easily reloadable and perfect for traveling and more. I know we aren’t the … [Read more...]

Malt-o-Meal Bag the Box with NEW Blueberry Spooners Review [CLOSED Giveaway]
by 118 Comments
I found Malt-o-Meal cereals years ago when I started comparison shopping out of necessity. Usually located at the very end of the cereal aisle, Malt-o-Meal cereal had been passed by for years. The day I found them I was eager (and hopeful) that they tasted as good as the “name brand”. I was pleased with the taste and the price. Years later their price and taste bring us back for more. I was contacted by Malt-o-Meal and asked if I would try … [Read more...]

Carters has a new line of adora-boo Halloween items! Everything from costumes and t-shirts to onesies, bibs and pajamas. I have been a huge Carters fan since Kaytlin was tiny (19 years now!).

I love to dress the kids up for the holidays and they thoroughly enjoy wearing holiday themed t-shirts. I tend to purchase these items a little bigger … [Read more...]
