These crafts based on the new Disney movie THE PIRATE FAIRY, are provided by Disney. No compensation of any kind has been received. The Pirate Fairy comes to Disney Blu-ray/DVD April 1, 2014. If you’ve got pirate OR fairy fans in your house, then you’re probably eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Pirate Fairy on […]
Zucchini bread is my absolute favorite kind of bread to make (and eat). For days, I was eyeing the zucchini in my fridge that I had bought to use for a dinner meal (have you seen the sausage and zucchini biscuits that I posted last week?), wishing that I had bought extra zucchini to […]
This review and giveaway is brought to you by Nature’s Sleep. Although I received a pair of Nature’s Sleep Memory Foam Slippers to review, all thoughts and opinions are my own. When I was a little girl, I was a ballerina. I spent hours each day dancing on my feet…and they took a beating. I […]
This Ham and Swiss Cheese Pinwheels recipe and My Life Ingredients discussion is sponsored by Alpine Lace® but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Note: If you’re following Weight Watchers, each pinwheel “slice” is just 2 Points Plus, based on 8 slices per prepared tortilla. It should come as no surprise that my […]
This week’s 15 Minute Supper recipe was a complete experiment. I had a zucchini and some sausage I wanted to use…and not a lot of time. The “not a lot of time” thing seems to be happening quite a bit at dinner time. I know I’m not alone in this. Between picking one daughter […]
We LOVE Medieval Times. Yes, this latest family trip to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament was complimentary, but our enthusiasm for the awesomeness of Medieval Times is 100% authentic. I’ll apologize upfront for the ridiculous amount of pictures from this latest trip. I swear I deleted dozens of decent pictures before choosing the photos […]
I received a review copy of Delivery Man, which came out on DVD/Blu-ray this week. Thoughts and opinions are my own. I don’t go out with all 5 of my kids very often anymore. Back when they were little - in diapers and strollers and such - I always had them tagging along behind […]
This Southwest chipotle chicken taco or salad recipe is sponsored by Hidden Valley through TapInfluence, but all thoughts as well as the recipe are my own. Perhaps it is because of my California roots. Or maybe my taste buds are simply more attuned to the flavors of the Southwest. I just LOVE chipotle-flavored dishes. […]
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the Facts Up Front program. Feeding my family of seven probably should be a full time job – it certainly could be. Between the meal planning, the grocery shopping and then the preparing of all of the meals, not to mention the need to […]
It’s no secret that we are huge fans of Medieval Times. Just this past weekend, we had the chance to go again (yes, it was a complimentary show for us!), and I was finally able to get a decent picture of the Royal Falconer. I am obsessed with birds of prey. I love hawks […]
