Over the holidays, my family had a health scare with our nine-year-old daughter, Cheyenne. Thanksgiving weekend, she began complaining about her right thigh hurting. She had just participated in her first all-night Black Friday shopping trip so I chalked it up to overuse and possibly growing pains. I suggested she take a warm bath and rub some pain cream on it, which she did. Over the next few weeks, she continued to complain about her leg hurting in the morning when getting ready for school Read more [...]

I received product from Chewy.com to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. Pets can seriously become your life, right?!  Our family is a huge pet loving bunch.  It helps that we live on a farm!  And over the years, we've added to our crew.  Our current tally includes: 2 Mini Horses (Ginger and Poppy) 1 Big Horse (Dontae) 4 Chickens (Only one has a name though as Violet became a quick favorite with her one blind eye.) 1 Rooster (Fluffy) 1 Large Outdoor Dog (Bear) Read more [...]

This winter has been a brutal one. We were hit with a Polar Vortex last week and are currently experiencing a snow storm with more than ten inches of snow forecasted to pile up. On a night like this, I crave warm, comfort food. Bean & Bun is just the ticket. Never heard of Bean & Bun before? Neither had I - until I met my husband. It's a favorite recipe his mom made him and she passed it on to me. Now, I'm happy to share it with you! Ingredients: 1 pound ground hamburger 16 Read more [...]

Thank you to Radz for sending Smooshy Mushy 4 in 1 Blind Bags in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. There is just something about collections that makes me reminisce.

Right now it seems like collecting tiny toys/objects is popular. My daughter is happily jumping on the tiny toy collection bandwagon. When I gifted her some Radz Smooshy Mushy Read more [...]

Thank you to Precious Moments for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My daughter is a "girly girl". She's three years-old and loving everything pink and frilly! It's funny because I was never what you would call a "girly girl". I was an only child and my parents had a deal - mom could dress me up in pink and dresses until I was three - then I was dad's. Dad had me doing all kinds of 'boy' things like hunting, fishing, and playing every sport with me that I showed Read more [...]

Thanks to MALK for sending me vouchers. There is a paid link in this article. As always, all opinions are my own. If you're looking for an alternative to dairy milk, MALK Organics products are going to blow your mind! While my husband drinks cow's milk, I've been looking for an alternative for myself and our two kids since we seem to have some sensitivities to pasteurized dairy. We've tried various almond milk brands in the past, but have always found them to contain fillers, gums, and other bad Read more [...]
