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 a busy mom, I’m often on the lookout for quick and easy dinners that are flavorful and filling. I love one pot meals. They always make for easy preparation, cooking, and clean-up is a breeze. I also enjoy using Betty Crocker’s boxed potatoes. I usually use them as a side dish, but decided recently [...]
Imagine being able to change your locks in a matter of seconds . . . wouldn’t that have been handy the last time your child lost their key to the house (sorry Mom, I know I did that once or twice!). What about the family friend who was the last option you could find to [...]
Sometimes Christmas comes a little bit early! The other day I came home to find a new Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D electric razor waiting for me. Not only was I surprised but I was very happy to hear that I could test it out right away and I didn’t have to wait for it while [...]
Timberland is a proven brand with a proven track record. I remember being sad a couple of years ago when I had to throw out my first pair that I bought back in college. I certainly got my use out of those boots, and Timberland is continuing the tradition of quality and long lasting boots [...]

The last few days the temperature has been in the 30s. This morning when I walked Kora to school, it was snowing, cold, and windy. On days like these, I love to serve soup for dinner. I enjoy making my own soup but it’s so time consuming I don’t do it very often. Thankfully, the [...]
Coffee is such a part of our lives these days. I always look forward to a stop at my local donut shop for a warm mug especially this time or year when the temperature drops and the snow is blowing. Not being much of a morning person, I look forward to it as a pick [...]
