Our 2 year old daughter is obsessed with babies!  Ever since we took in our first (4 month old) foster baby over a month ago, she just can't get enough.  And even though that little girl was only with us two weeks, we knew our daughter missed her as she'd walk around the house looking for baby after she left.  Thankfully, the void didn't last long as our next foster baby arrived just three days later!  So now, with a real tiny baby in our home, the obsession has doubled for her and I was so happy Read more [...]

I have been provided with a Nutrisystem plan in exchange for sharing my honest experience and results on my blog. All opinions are my own. Something that we've realized since Ryan started Nutrisystem, was how emotions and perspective influence our food choices. We all know a child who refuses to eat any food that doesn't look or smell 'yummy' to them. As adults, it's generally easier to convince yourself to try foods regardless of scent or appearance. By adulthood we've all realized there are Read more [...]

Thank you to Platinum Skin Care for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Lately, I have noticed that my face is starting to show it's age. I now see fine lines around my eyes and mouth. I also have a deep furrow between my brows. The deep furrow is what bothers me the most. My family always asks me what's wrong because they think I am scowling. How unpleasant is that?! When I was asked to review Platinum Skin Care Read more [...]

September has rolled on through and I can't believe how fast it's gone.  The school buses are back on the road and I try my best to not get stuck behind one!  Thankfully, I'm not usually on the road at the same time as them so this is usually not an issue.  While I did receive our September Pet Gift Box a little while ago already, I had to put off the review for one very sad reason.  Our little Yorkie, Angel, was due with her first litter of pups on October 9th and, sadly, she had them early.  Read more [...]

With the cooler days creeping in, our family loves to enjoy snuggling in the house with a cup of hot chocolate and an entertaining children's DVD.  Since we don't have any television channels, we rely solely on DVDs that we own for our movie entertainment.  We find that this is a great option for our family with six kids under 11, as I no longer have to monitor inappropriate commercials and regular viewing choices.  I automatically know that every DVD I get from NCircle Entertainment will fit Read more [...]

Thank you to UncommonGreen for sending me this product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania means having hometown pride at all times. When I was little, I was raised to love hockey, football, and the city itself. Our house had Pittsburgh items everywhere from mugs, to pictures, clothes, and anything you can think of. Pittsburgh even has it's own 'language' and it's branded on t-shirts everywhere. Hometown pride is something that does Read more [...]
