This is my favorite pasta salad recipe. I love the variety of veggies in it. It's the perfect fresh summer salad. I appreciate that it does not have any ingredients that you need to worry about spoiling quickly if sits out - such as mayo, cheese, meat or eggs. It makes a large batch, perfect for taking to get-togethers! Ingredients: 5 Ribs of Celery 2 Roma Tomatoes 1/2 Container of Button Mushrooms 1/2 Large Red Onion 1 Large Cucumber 1 Can Black Olives 1 Package Wacky Mac or Rainbow Rotini Read more [...]

My daughters LOVE to bake. They are constantly asking if they can bake cookies, cakes, pies, you name it. They are the reason I buy baking supplies and wet wipes in large quantities! Lol. Last week, our neighbor gifted us with a shoebox full of freshly picked blueberries. The blueberries were some of the best I have ever had, part of that was because they were straight off the plant and the other part was because I didn't have to sit in the sun picking them myself. Savannah (11 years old) asked Read more [...]

Thank you to Healbe for providing me with a product to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are my own. As anyone who's tried to lose weight or is health conscious will tell you, a bit part of reaching or maintaining your weight goal is to control what you eat. Simply put, if you're healthy, weight loss is all about eating fewer calories than you burn. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know exactly how many calories there are in what you eat. Many people end up having to weigh every food Read more [...]

Thank you to AllerEase for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Did you know that "a typical mattress can have 100,000 to 10 million dust mites lurking inside!" Gross! How about the fact that "67% percent of Americans report due to a lack of sleep their health status is either “poor” or “only fair.” Sad, right? Not getting a good night sleep can negatively affect us in so many ways. AllerEase, the leading brand of allergen barrier bedding, Read more [...]

My mom was and is a candle fanatic. After having kids I made the choice to get away from cologne and perfume as the smells were too much for me causing headaches for myself. Shortly after that transition I also began to wonder about candles and the fragrance used to make them as well. Rather than finding an alternative Read more [...]

This post is sponsored by Plan B One-Step and SheKnows Media. These days, most of us walk around with access to Google all day long, anywhere we go. It's kind of mind-blowing to think about how much easier it is to access information for the average person today, vs. just 25 years ago. Despite living in an age where we have easy access to a lot of information, it's still easy to get false information, be misled, or hear myths without recognizing that you've started to believe something false.
