Shopping with kids is always tricky. It is always interesting to me to see other moms (or dads) shopping with their kids. There are those with the “perfect” kids who sit nicely in the cart and are amused just by watching the food items pass by. Then there is the frazzled mom with the child(ren) …
I am participating in a book review campaign with One2One Network. I received this book from Harper Collins for the purposes of reviewing it. I have not received compensation. All opinions stated are my own. As a mother of two, there’s something I’m addicted to that I don’t get enough…..good sleep. If you’ve read my …
This isn’t your traditional Southern Chicken and Dumplings, but it’s yummy and easy, perfect for a cold day. The whole family loves this recipe, which my mother-in-law shared with me! The tortillas make the “dumplings,” and you can hardly tell they’re tortillas after they cook. I have added carrots and cream of celery soup, but they’re …

I want to THANK YOU for reading this and any other post I’ve written. Readers are really what makes this blog work. So …

The Hubby and I have been married almost 8 years, and have known each other for about 12. Looking back, time has just flown. We are definitely two very different people than when we met so long ago, but we have grown together and not only do I love him more, I actually like the …
Sometimes I remember back to what it was like….our life with no kids. We had one computer, one TV, two dogs, and that was pretty much it. What on earth did I do before I had kids? Hubby and I got married 2 weeks after he graduated from college and 6 months after I had, we quickly …
Yesterday was Easter. We don’t do the Easter Bunny at our house although I see nothing wrong with him. I just was a bit obsessed with Santa and the Easter Bunny as a child and would rather my kids not be greedy little boogers like I was. I have two older brothers that were not …
