Meal Inspirations | Recipes for Busy Moms This post was sponsored by Lunchbox. All opinions are my own. As much as I’d love to prepare five course meals for my family, the reality is I barely have time to grocery shop let alone plan elaborate meals. In my effort to avoid prepackaged or fast food I try to prepare easy homemade meals that are not only delicious but nutritious as well. I also try to avoid repeating meals too close together to … [Read more...]
Happy 7th Birthday Sweet Emmaline
by 8 Comments
Happy 7th Birthday Sweet Emmaline Today is our sweet Emmaline’s 7th birthday. It seems like yesterday I spent my days snuggling in bed with her entranced in her sweet baby smell. She quickly transformed into our little busy toddler that lit up the room with her smile and could bring on the clouds with her sad face. It took a little persuading on our part, but she finally took to her role of big sister and relishes in the fact … [Read more...]

Does You Have to Lift Weights to Lift Cat Litter? We have two crazy big fur balls in our house named Mocha and Jasper. They are a joy to have around... for entertainment, companionship and I simply enjoy petting and snuggling with them (funny how relaxing it is!). I enjoy just about everything about them.... except the cat litter. Cleaning it out... gag. Stinky, messy and gross. Buying it? Oh, don’t get me started. Purchasing cat … [Read more...]

Kidco Extra Tall and Wide Auto Close Gate Review The product was provided for review purposes. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

Once upon a time (about … [Read more...]

Celebrate Babies First Christmas at Babies R Us Although a promotional item was received, all opinions are my own. Baby’s First Christmas is a special time in a family’s life filled with memories, traditions, and photos. I vividly remember Kaytlin’s first Christmas. She was almost 7 months old and fairly vocal when it came to things she wanted. I was sitting on the floor with her during present time and was trying to “start” her gifts to make … [Read more...]

We Had a Sugar Free Halloween Filled With Trash Pack & Glitzy Globes Track Pack & Glitzy Globes provided free of charge. All opinions are our own. Halloween.

Personally I would prefer if my children wanted to stay home and hand out goodies, but alas they always want to enjoy the festivities. As a mom, I am more than happy when my children receive other … [Read more...]
