Both Kora and Logan love to draw and color. As you may have seen in past posts, Kora really has a love for art. That’s why when I heard about the Toon Boom’s Flip Boom Doodle software, I knew she would love it. It only took a few minutes and the software was downloaded and [...]
I was thinking about making Valentine’s cookies this year. I usually just buy the refrigerated pre-cut version, which are adorable and delicious, but thought I’d look for a good cookie recipe and give it a try. I’ve been browsing around for creative Valentine’s cookies and here are a few of my favorites. Zebra Striped Hot [...]
As you may know by now, Kora’s birthday is in the beginning of December and Logan’s is at the end of January. With their birthdays so close together and right during the holidays, we decided to start having double birthday parties. We have one party for the both of them for each side of the [...]
Back in July, I wrote a post about the Hormel Foods Summer Grilling Sweepstakes. I bring it up because after that sweepstakes ended, I had a reader contact me to say that she was selected as the Grand Prize Winner! She had read about the sweepstakes on 2 Wired 2 Tired, visited the Hormel Foods [...]
Kora always amazes me. With her talents in gymnastics and in art, I never understand how she is my daughter. She’s now taking an art class after school and has been so excited about it. Last week was her first class and she came home tired but it happy. I asked her how class went [...]
Are the men in your life as difficult to shop for as they are in mine? They seem to have everything and it gets harder every year to find something they will enjoy. That’s why when looking for unique gifts for men, I enjoy browsing the Xperience Days website. At the Xperience Days site you [...]
If you can believe it, I had never had an avocado up until about a year ago. Once I tried one however, I was hooked. They are so delicious in guacamole, mixed with cream cheese, and even plain with just a bit of salt. They’ve really become one of my favorite foods. That’s why I’m excited [...]
If you can believe it, Dave and I have been married 8 years and have never owned a snow blower. We live in Cleveland where we are pretty well known for our harsh, cold, and snowy winters. This year we decided we’ve finally had our fill of shoveling. We were excited when we came across [...]
When Kora and Logan were younger, I would often rely on kids consignment sales to find them never-worn or gently-used clothing. As they’ve grown however, it’s now become nearly impossible to find anything at a resale event in their size. As a result, I’ve started shopping more often at retail stores, both brick-and-mortar and online, and [...]
As part of our New Year’s Resolutions, Dave and I have been trying to eat healthier. It’s been going well and we’ve enjoyed adding new, flavorful, and nutritious meals to our menu. One of my favorite dishes is this Easy Chicken, Rice & Veggies recipe. With the help of Hormel Premium Chunk Chicken (which is 97% fat [...]
If you haven’t been to Red Lobster lately you may be surprised by their new look. Many of their restaurants have been redesigned inspired by the New England coast.

One of my favorite things to do when I’m stressed or if things are hectic is to sit down with a cup of tea and cinnamon toast. Taking the time to really enjoy the tea and toast, reminds me of my childhood. My mom makes the best cinnamon toast and it was one of my [...]
I’m so excited! We got the invite to attend Disney Social Media Moms 2012! We attended last year and had such an amazing time that we can’t wait to attend again this year. It’s such a fun event that is a wonderful mix of time spent at Disney World, at conference activities, and with family. Here’s [...]
You may remember back in November I wrote a review of the Wikets iPhone App. It’s a wonderful app that allows you to connect with your friends and make recommendations of your favorite products and places. You get points for every recommendation you make. On top of that, when other people re-recommend the item, add it to [...]
We are always looking for ways to update our 1940′s house and to making our yard beautiful. So when I heard that The Great Big Home & Garden Expo was coming to the Cleveland I-X Center February 4th – 12th, 2012 I knew it would be the perfect place to find inspiration. The Great Big [...]
It’s Logan birthday today! He’s 5 and is so excited about it. He woke up this morning and said, “I can’t believe I’m finally 5. I waited so long.” He’s too funny. We all got up early this morning and headed out to McDonald’s for our traditional family pancake breakfast. It’s not fancy, but the [...]
Do you ever worry about what would happen if one of your house keys was misplaced or lost? You would have to pay to get all new locks installed and it could get pretty pricey. Or what if you had extensive work done around the house by a contractor – enough so that they had [...]
While I love my iPhone, one thing I can’t stand is bubbles, fingerprints, and scratches on the screen protector. That’s why when I heard about the PureTek Roll-On Screen Shield Kit for the iPhone, I knew it was something we’d love to try. The PureTek Roll-On Screen Shield Kit allows you to easily place an [...]
After what’s been an unusually warm winter, it seems a big storm is headed our way. I heard they are grounding planes in Chicago and Cleveland Hopkins has started cancelling flights as well. It’s predicted to be a bit of a mess in the morning, but I sure hope it doesn’t end up looking like [...]
