The countdown to the Sebring event weekend is on! It starts 3/15 and runs through 3/18. To watch be sure to tune in to FS1 (Fox Sports) channel from 12:30pm to 11pm.

As the weather is turning warmer and the sunshine is slowly turning our cold, frozen world into Spring, it's time to bring back some tastes of summer.  While I definitely make sure to offer plenty of water, there is just something about enjoying a delicious ice cold glass of lemonade.  My husband is especially smitten when I deliver him a bottle full out to the tractor during field work.  But since I'm trying hard to limit our sugar intake, I've turned to True Citrus. Sending a big thank you Read more [...]

I have always found it pretty exciting when my babies started eating solid foods.  It was such a fun step and really made me start thinking of them as toddlers and not an infant any more.  As we made the transition, I would always turn to kid-friendly companies that offer tableware geared for these milestones as our glass cups and plates just weren't a safe option.  One company that I've utilized many products from over the years just so happens to be The First Years. As little ones get Read more [...]

Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own.   Spring is coming! This morning, I awoke to the sun shining in our bedroom windows and the birds were chirping. As I looked out the window, I could see dew drops glistening on the grass and the trees appeared to have budded overnight. It was a wonderful moment. It completely refreshed my energy level. Spring is a great time to dust off those salad recipes Read more [...]

I am a Nutrisystem nation blogger. I am provided with a Nutrisystem membership. All opinions are my own. Do you ever have a preference for whether you have a warm or a cold meal or snack? I know that I do. Sometimes when I wake up, I really want a warm breakfast. This is usually if it's cold outside, or I'm still sleepy. There's something really nice about waking up slowly with a nice, warm meal to help warm you up from the inside out. I also crave cool snacks sometimes. Sometimes this is related Read more [...]

Call us crazy but last year, my husband and I decided it was finally time to get serious and get our license to be Foster Parents.  It was something we had discussed before getting married over 13 years ago but the timing just never worked out.  Now that we don't plan to have any more biological children, it just made sense to us to finally take this leap.  In the past 6 months, we've learned several things about how foster care works.  So if you're considering this path, I'd love to share a Read more [...]

Do you find yourself always struggling with your stuff while on the go?  Not to mention it's really hard to wrangle the kids and everything they require for an outing.  And no matter how much I try to keep our schedule on the light side, it seems like we always have somewhere to go.  Throughout any particular week, we have so much to do as life is just busy.  With that, I tend to struggle with neck pains and back aches.  My chiropractor keeps telling me to stop lugging around so much stuff but Read more [...]

You know, I used to consider myself a good friend.  We'd get together for game nights, talk on the phone, shop, and do other things that friends do.  Then, I got married and had a baby.  Being the first in my small group of friends to make that leap from child to adult was fairly seamless.  I mean, a small baby was easily transportable.  But once that little one began to crawl, both her world and mine began to change.  Then came baby number two.  The visits and outings became fewer in number Read more [...]
