Last month I shared with you that I have been a loyal Walmart Family Mobile customer for over two years. I recently got the opportunity to spread the word about Family Mobile’s unlimited plans (as part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias®), and I took it! My husband and I had been considering adding a third line to […]
Italian Turkey Meatloaf with Sun Dried Tomato Pesto
Like I am always telling you, I am not a foodie. So when Mooney Farms contacted me about trying out their Bella Sun Luci sun dried tomato products I was was not sure what to say. I really had no idea how to use sun dried tomatoes in the first place. I had eaten dishes […]
Curiosityville – Fun and Personalized Online Learning
Kids spend a lot of time looking at screens these days, so when I was offered a membership at Curiosityville.com in exchange for a review of the site, I hesitated. But after learning a little about Curiosityville, I decided to go ahead and check it out. Curiosityville is an online learning program that is aimed at […]
Value and Quality Without a Contract – Family Mobile Unlimited Plans
I have been a loyal Family Mobile customer for two years so when I got the opportunity to spread the word about its unlimited plans (as part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias®), I took it! I only share products with my readers that I have tried and that I believe in. I was late to the […]
North of Hope (Book Review)
Grief is something that we all must deal with at various times in our lives. Once you have experienced it, it never truly leaves you. For some of us it is something we once went through that shows up at unexpected times to remind us of its presence. For others it is an everyday companion. Regardless of where we […]
Connecting Church and Home (Book Review)
If you have ever read a book by Tim Kimmel or heard him speak, then you already know that his views on parenting and family can be strikingly different than what you might encounter from other Christian experts. It seems obvious that the heart of the Christian parenting message should be grace, but unfortunately it often is not. I am always […]

The Croods Movie Review
From the first time my family saw a preview for the movie The Croods, my kiddos wanted to see it. I, however, was not interested. I am not into the whole caveman dynamic, in fact I find it quite annoying. But when the opportunity to see this movie at an early screening came up, I decided to take the kiddos to […]
Passing On Your Family’s Story or Why You Should Journal
“The beauty of being a sister is that when you connect with the people you grew up with, you can go back and be a kid again. You can laugh and giggle and just be crazy. You don’t have to be a dignified, responsible person because a sister knows who you really are.” – Helen Landrum, Fluffy, Funny, and […]
Celebrate Pi Day With Marie Callender’s (and a Giveaway)
March 14 is Pi Day, and no, I didn’t spell that wrong. We celebrated National Pie Day back in January but this Thursday is the day to celebrate pi, otherwise known as 3.14159265359… So while pi does not equal pie, heck, do we really need an excuse to eat pie? Of course not! We recently […]
Da Vinci – The Genius, Traveling Exhibition
There are only a handful of people in the history of mankind who were masters of art, science, engineering, and music. We celebrate those who are gifted in any one of these disciplines, but sometimes a person is able to master several of these areas of wisdom. Leonardo Da Vinci was such a person and […]
Real Kids Shades
If you are like most parents, you do not allow your kiddos to play in the sun for an extended period of time without sunblock. As a desert dweller and skin cancer survivor myself, I always have sunblock handy and apply it to my kiddos often. However, that desire to protect my children’s skin from the Sun’s […]
