Someone I love is struggling with infertility and it is an issue that is near and dear to my heart. When I heard that a couple named Jasmine and Luke were dealing with this issue and that Jasmine was selling Lilla Rose products to help raise money to adopt a child ($20,000 goal) I got right on […]
Fun with Colortime Crafts and Markers
I recently shared with you that I still like to color. That is very true, but my kiddos love to color and I have endless boxes of markers, colored pencils, and crayons to prove it. We recently tried out a craft from Colortime Crafts and Markers and my little coloring fiends were very satisfied. I was satisfied too because the […]
My Big Bottom Blessing (Book Review)
I have read more books about weight loss and health than I care to remember. Some of the books were profound while others were silly. Some offered realistic advice, while others were flat out ridiculous. Some books treated our bodies like evolved machines while others reminded us that we were created by a Holy God. When I […]
Danze Faucet Review and Giveaway
I admit to being a kitchen snob. I do not have a Better Homes and Gardens budget but I do like the things in my kitchen to look nice. The kitchen is one area where I believe in using only high quality products and investing some time and money on design and functionality. So when I got the opportunity to […]
2012 US Olympic Swim Trials – Healthy Family Fun
Last week I mentioned that the US Olympic Swim Trials are this week. We have been watching them both on NBC and on nbcolympics.com. The kids are really loving it and they have actually improved in their swim lessons this week as a result. It sure helps to see a perfect model of how a stroke looks. We […]
S’Mores Fun With HERSHEY’S CAMP BONDFIRE
S’mores are a summertime tradition in my family and probably in yours,too. We regularly have a fire in our fire pit on summer nights and s’mores are often a part of the fun. We also love to make s’mores on our family camping trips. What a fun tradition! The summer nights can get quite hot here in the desert, but that […]
U.S. Olympic Swim Team Trials and a Useful Tool for Families
Swimming is near and dear to my heart. As I have shared before, my sweet niece drowned before she even reached the age of 18 months. This tragedy greatly affected my life and I have become a huge advocate of teaching children to swim . I started my own kiddos in swimming lessons at an […]
My Fairy Tale Books Personalized Book Review
If your children are like mine, they love stories. Sometimes I tell stories with them as the lead character and they really love that. It can sure be fun for a kid to be part of the story. One of our most cherished times in the day is when we get together to read our bedtime stories. My Fairy Tale Books has a […]

Tea Forte Iced Tea Brewing Pitcher
June is National Iced Tea Month which gives me one more reason to love June. Whether served hot or cold, tea is my favorite beverage. Iced tea is my summer drink of choice, however, I can never seem to brew the perfect glass – until now. I recently fell in love with the Iced Tea […]

Why Men Hate Going to Church
I decided to review Why Men Hate Going to Church (2011) by David Murrow because the title intrigued me. Most of us know at least one couple that consists of a churchgoing wife and stay-at-home-on-Sunday husband. In fact, there really can be no doubt that overall Christian churches are more heavily populated by women than by men. Don’t believe me? Just […]
