Big Lots ~ Simmons Tristan Bunk Bed & Zeopedia Memory Foam Mattress {Review}

Sharing a bedroom is a childhood staple in many homes and I grew up sharing with my sister.  While we didn't always like it, I do think it helped us work through our issues since neither one of us had anywhere else to go.  Plus, let's face it.  When it's storming and scary, nobody wants to be sleeping alone!  Now that I'm a mom, I actually love the fact that our kids share bedrooms.  We have a "girls room" and a "boys room".  But, with five of our own kiddos and a foster baby in the home, we Read more [...]

Handstand Kitchen ~ Cooking With Kids + Discount & Giveaway (US) 10/14

Making fun memories with our kids is really important to us.  So we strive to set the unimportant things in life aside from time to time and play a game, go on a walk, play in the sandbox, or some other fun activity.  Since I particularly enjoy cooking and baking, that is one of my go-to areas to also include the kids.  From the time they can walk, they tend to love joining me up at the island stirring, dumping, and pouring.  As they get older and their skill levels increase, I even encourage Read more [...]

Big Lots ~ Finding Fall Decor For My Home {Review}

Thank you to TrackR for sending us the TrackR bravo for review! My husband has tons of wonderful qualities; he is sweet, funny, hard working, a fantastic father, and the list goes on. However, being organized and keeping track of things is not one of his strong suits. He is constantly asking, "Have you seen my wallet?". Although most of the time the wallet is nearby, last winter he lost his wallet for good. We have no idea where it went. Along with losing the wallet came the pain of having Read more [...]

Philips Avent ~ Bottles, Drying Rack, Brush, Soothers, & More {+ Giveaway} US 10/5

Well, our foster care journey definitely started out a little different than we had thought.  While our original idea had been to stay under the age of our youngest, the very first call we got was for three sisters who were 8, 4, and 4 months.  Since we were the only option in our county, we gave it a go.  The two weeks we had the girls was definitely a learning experience.  There were good times, bad times, stress, fun, and so much more.  Then, two days after saying good-bye to them, we got Read more [...]
