This Earth to Echo giveaway is courtesy of Relativity Media but all thoughts are my own. Who else is excited for Earth to Echo? I can’t wait! It looks like a thrilling movie that’s good for the whole family - and we need more of those! As we celebrate the opening of Earth to […]
This recipe for MIRACLE WHIP Cabbage and Pineapple Slaw Burgers is brought to you by MIRACLE WHIP but all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. MIRACLE WHIP and proud of it. It’s officially summer break now that the kids are out of school, which means we’re spending long hours at the pool most […]
After iRetreat ended on Tuesday, my sister and I had fun with all the kids in Hershey. We visited a nearby duck pond and stream and let the kids loose to explore. We had a hard time convincing everyone that it was time to leave…but we DID have to feed them dinner eventually. Every […]
This post brought to you by KRAFT Natural Shredded Cheese and Safeway. All opinions are 100% mine. My cooking and eating habits tend to change quite a bit over the summer. I look for meals that are lighter and cooler and take less time to prepare. Who wants to spend an hour and a half […]
Paddington Bear brings back happy memories of my childhood…though Paddington is even older than I am. In fact, Paddington Bear is 56 years old today (according to one of the Brown family’s birthday edicts that marked Paddington’s birthdate as the day that he came to live with them…but that’s another story).

I had my Samsung NX300 with me (side note: I am becoming more and more hooked […]

This recipe is provided by Disney/DreamWorks Pictures, but opinions are all my own. Cheese. Potatoes. Cheesy potatoes. Yum. How delicious does this look? About […]
I never really dreamed of becoming a soccer mom. I don’t have much interest in team sports. I imagined that I’d be a piano mom or a dance mom. I never thought that I’d be a barbershop mom. This past school year, my 2nd daughter, Necco, got involved in her school’s barbershop quartet program. […]
This post brought to you by Poise at Walmart. All opinions are 100% mine. Last month, I introduced you to Poise Microliners (now available at Walmart!) and my new friend, SAM. No, SAM is not my new friendly neighbor…SAM is one of those friends that is good to keep around at all times, because you […]
