Kitchen Gadgets ~ Innovia Automatic Paper Towel Dispenser Review #Mother’s Day & #Father’s Day Gift Idea

Thank you to Innovia Home for providing me with a sample, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I received my first paper towel holder for Mother's Day a few years ago from my husband and kids.  It was cuter than just having the roll sit directly on my counter top but it was a pain to squish the roll onto and I usually had to hold the roll to rip off just one piece.  So when I came across the Automatic Paper Towel Dispenser by Innovia, I was so excited.  The fact that it is Read more [...]

Cloth Diapering Myth Busters ~ Tidy Tots Diapers Review & Giveaway (US) 5/2

Thank you to Tidy Tots for providing me samples, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   Cloth diapering was a very scary concept to me.  So scary, that it took till baby number four for me to finally jump all in and really give it a go.  When child number three was young, I only made it through one diaper change before giving up!  However, I can confidently say that we have been successfully cloth diapering since January of this year and have truly been enjoying Read more [...]

Muffin Magic ~ In The Kitchen With My Children Making Chocolate Chip Muffins #Recipe

Tonight, our three year old son requested Chocolate Chip Muffins for supper.  (I should first mention that lunch is our big family multi-course meal and supper is a smaller meal of left overs, cereal, or easier items.)  Muffins is something I have typically "cheated" on and used mixes instead of homemade.  It's not that I hadn't tried to make them before but every recipe I had previously tried would turn out dry, crumbly, and be a big disappointment.  However, tonight, I searched our cupboard Read more [...]
