The daffodils are blooming in our backyard. It’s so nice to see the bursts of yellow out the window. A sign that spring has arrived and warm weather will soon be here for good. The kids constantly ask, “Can we pick them yet?” “Can we pick them yet?” “Can we pick them yet?” Today we
Does the thought of buying and cooking fish scare you? Last week I was invited to attend the Kroger Easy for You! SEAFOOD event. Easy for You! SEAFOOD takes the hesitation out of buying, preparing and cooking fish at home. You simply choose your fish at the seafood counter and a seasoning. Kroger seasons the fish, seals
If you’ve been around awhile…you know we have multiple friends who have to ban peanut butter and other yummy nutty goodness from their houses. Because in their households one of their children has severe nut allergies. And you know that Andy and I cannot imagine a life without peanut butter. We really feel for those
It was just over a year ago when I started using the Voxer app. And a year later? I am still addicted. Read more about why in my post from last year. The basic rundown is that you can leave someone (who also has to be a Voxer user) a voicemail message without ever calling

After all of the thought put into it and shopping time and money spent, I am always curious to see what the kids are still playing with a couple of weeks after Christmas. Without a doubt, one of the girls’ favorite things is the Rainbow Loom. And I somewhat dreaded this gift. I heard nightmares

There are afternoons when I’m out running errands with the kids that I just want a little pick-me-up. Been there? Well, for me, the answer is a nice refreshing fully-loaded (caffeine and calorie) medium Cherry Coke from Frisch’s. The crushed ice + the cherry syrup + the coke = YUMMINESS!

Oh here I go. It’s been awhile since I posted any content with real meat. And here it is. But let me start by saying I’m sure you can poke holes all through it. I’m sure I’ll ramble. I’m sure some things you will agree with and some things you just won’t. I’m sure it
