This post has been sponsored by Liquid-Plumr®, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Let me tell you a little about my house. This week marked the 16th anniversary of moving in to our little townhouse. When we bought it, as a young couple with one baby, the 3 bedroom, 3 level townhouse […]
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 is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Ragú® Official New Tra-Dish. The opinions and text are all mine. When I was growing up, my mom had a home-cooked meal on the table for us every single night. Taco salad. Pork chops on rice. Spaghetti and meat balls. It didn’t really […]
This post has been sponsored by Glad Black Bag, but all opinions are my own. I was just talking with a friend on Sunday about the fact that getting kids to clean up their messes doesn’t get easier as they get older. We both had really hoped that it would. When the kids were little, […]
Last week, I had the opportunity to talk on the phone with Kristen Bell. No compensation was received…unless you count the fact that I am a huge fan of Veronica Mars and I was dying (read: giddy) about the chance to talk to Kristen for the second time in just a few months. OK, […]

In college, I again recognized my strengths (and my weaknesses) and decided to major in Early Childhood Education. I have […]
This list of 100 ways to show your child you love them is sponsored by Alomune. All thoughts, opinions and list items are my own. During this month where we celebrate LOVE just a little more than usual, thanks to Valentine’s Day, I’ve been thinking about more ways that I can show my kids that […]
This post brought to you by Treat.com. All opinions are 100% mine. I loved Valentine's Day when I was a kid. I recall carefully choosing the best Valentine-out-of-a-box for each of my classmates and then writing their names next to TO: and my name next to FROM:… My childhood Valentine’s Day traditions consisted of a […]
This post was sponsored by Chloraseptic but all thoughts are my own. Coughs, runny noses, sore throats…they seem to come with the season. This winter has been particularly brutal with the temperatures well below freezing for days on end. There’s nothing worse than dealing with a little one who is sick, unless it is […]
Note: I have received information and products from McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., the makers of TYLENOL®. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks. The week before my oldest son’s first birthday, he started running a fever. As a baby and young child, he seemed to be […]
