This post has been sponsored by YesVideo, but all opinions are my own. Watching old home movies is one of our Sunday evening past times. My kids love (and I mean LOVE) seeing themselves and their siblings “way back when.” I love it too (boy, does it take me back!!) but I admit that I […]
My car is not the picture of organization. In fact, it usually takes me weeks of dealing with messes, trash, and loose junk that really should be taken back into the house before I break down and clean it. The biggest problem is that I don’t have anywhere to keep (and organize) the things that […]
Of all the things I’ve taught my kids, especially those things I’ve taught them over the last few years of financial struggle in our family, one of the most valuable lessons has been that of frugal living. I was raised with plenty. I never considered my family rich, but we had everything we needed. Before […]
Apparently, cooking all day and then nearly passing out after dinner from pure exhaustion and turkey-coma caused me to completely forget about posting Photostory Friday and Give Me Your Best Shot. And waking up at 2:30 to tackle my very first Black Friday line in front of a mall didn’t help my memory. Of course, […]
Happy Thanksgiving! Once a year is simply not often enough to express my gratitude for the abundance that I enjoy. In fact, just yesterday I was talking with a friend who called to check up on me. She has known me well enough (and for long enough) to know just how difficult the last few […]
I love to eat. I also love to cook, but I love to eat more. Udi’s has asked me to participate in the Gluten Free Holiday Recipe Challenge. My mind immediately went to breakfast foods, because we love to eat fancy breakfasts for dinner. Although my immediate family doesn’t eat gluten free, I have plenty […]

Thomas Jefferson once said, “I cannot live without books.” I don’t remember learning how to read, but I remember reading. My mom read to me daily. She read books like Where the Red Fern Grows and A Wrinkle in Time. We read them over and over. And then I found my own books and devoured […]
Thank you to LiveOn for this sponsored opportunity to blog about storing and sharing my most important memories with those closest to me. Although story ideas were provided, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Last night, my kids sat downstairs, gathered around the television. They laughed. They oohed and ahhed. They giggled some more. […]
