Over the years I've been called various names, like Susy Homemaker or a Martha wannabe. As I got older and I had more children my drive to obtain and keep those titles dwindled to where I am today. I'm just going to be brutally honest here and just say it... cooking dinner is not my strong part. With everyone on different schedules we've moved from the nightly family dinner to most of us just cooking what we can when we can and moving … [Read more...]

Microsoft and Back to School I am writing this as part of the Microsoft Bloggers program. All opinions are my own.

This post has been sponsored by IAMS, but concerns my own opinion As a mom, I spend an unfathomable amount of time worrying about the food I feed my children. Searching for healthy food is an obsession because I want what's best for them. So why wouldn't you do the same for your pets? They say a dog is man's best friend. They are loyal, loving, stubborn and forgiving. No matter how badly you treat them they always forgive and forget. No … [Read more...]

by
Samples received. All opinions are my own. Suffering from headaches is an inconvenience and a pain (literally). I have been fortunate to not have had many in my life. But, my husband and son are one of the 36 million people in the US that suffer from debilitating migraines. They describe them as a typical headache times 100. Both of them are light and sound sensitive when they hit, which means time alone in a dark room is in order. If they don't … [Read more...]

David Bromstad Art on Coffee-mate Bottles Samples received. All opinions are my own. Coffee is a huge part of my life. It's one of the first things I think about and reach for in the morning. The more I drink, the clearer my mind gets and the better my mood gets. The kids have quickly learned that they need to let Mommy "wake up" with her coffee before starting to ask her questions. I like a good cup of black coffee, but one of the most … [Read more...]
