As a teenager and in my early 20's I was the type of person who would take 13 days to finish a 10-day antibiotic regimen. I just couldn't get in the habit of remembering medications so I'd always miss a few. When I had my first epileptic seizure at age 23, and a second two days later and was told I now had epilepsy and would require seizure medication to keep myself from having more seizures? I knew that I had to find a way to get good at remembering my medications, and fast. Medication Reminder Read more [...]

Over the years, our home has changed quite a bit.  When we first moved in, we completely gutted the kitchen.  Taking out the peninsula, yes you had to walk around 3 sets of "cupboards" to get into the actual kitchen, made a huge difference.  The layout of the house was still the same but we felt making some changes made it more practical. We Need An Office The one problem we had though was a lack of an office.  For many years, our "office" was just a large desk located in our living room.  Read more [...]

I received product from Gold Pigeon Shoes to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. It's finally happening.  Both my husband and I noticed a change in the air this week.  Things feel just a bit warmer here in Minnesota, the sun has more power, and I think it's time to start dreaming about Spring!  Unfortunately, we are not taking any spring vacations this year.  But that won't stop me from planning for the warmer weather and days at the local beach. Spring, Summer, Sun, & Read more [...]

Thank you to Jill at Baby Rabies for giving me a free copy of this amazing eBook! This post contains affiliate links. As always, all opinions are my own. For the past few years, one of my biggest challenges while leaving the house is deciding whether to bring my "big" DSLR camera or my phone to take photos. Obviously my camera takes higher quality photos, but GOSH it can get heavy and bulky to carry around, especially with kids and all of the other stuff I'm hauling for them. On top of that, I Read more [...]

Thank you to Sleeping Baby for sending a Zipadee-Zip for review in exchange for my honest opinion.  I talk about sleep on the blog a lot. It's so important that my family and I all get a good night's sleep. As I've discussed before, my daughter isn't a great sleeper. She's three now and doing much better than she ever has, but there are still many nights that she wakes up in the night at least once. A goal I had for our son was to be a better sleeper than his sister. In the beginning there Read more [...]

I love to DIY. I really love to DIY things with a practical use. I have so many bras from pre-pregnancy that are adorable and cute and lacey. Seeing those cute bras over and over and then comparing them to my current nursing bras can be a  bummer sometimes, especially when I know that I'll be nursing for a minimum of another year. So I decided that I would convert all those cute bras to nursing bras! What you'll need for this project: nursing bra clips cute regular bras a small Read more [...]

I received samples from KetoWatt to facilitate this post.  As usual, all opinions are my own. If your family is anything like mine, someone is constantly grabbing a snack.  Whether it's because they chose not to eat a meal that was made or they just burned some extra energy that day.  Snacking is just a part of life here.  And we allow it for everyone as long as we're not within an hour of a meal.  The biggest snacker in our house, though, is probably my husband.  He gets up at around 3am Read more [...]

Thank you to Milton's Craft Bakers for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. In November of last year, I began eating gluten-free. I made the switch with the suggestion from my primary care doctor. I am not allergic to gluten; I am just sensitive and eating it makes me feel rotten. With the holiday season, I found my self making a few appetizers that needed to be served with crackers. I found Milton's Craft Bakers gluten-free crackers at my local Read more [...]

Thank you to SprezzaBox for sending a box for review in exchange for my honest opinion. I love a good subscription box. It is so fun to see what new items show up on your doorstep or mailbox each month. My husband and I are both not very good at updating our wardrobes, so I always enjoy trying out subscription boxes that have clothing or accessories in them. SprezzaBoxis a monthly subscription service designed for men. This month, my husband excitedly unboxed his fourth SprezzaBox and Read more [...]
