Mother’s Day Gift Idea: Handprint Flower Canvas Art

May 10, 2013 6 Comments

Every year for Mother's Day I have my kids either pick out a card for their Grammy or make her a card. I prefer them to make a card since it's more personal, but that doesn't always happen. Anyway, I was laying in bed one night trying to come up with something different and more creative this year and this idea came to me. I was excited to get started, but now that it's done it's even better than I imagined. I LOVE it, and am definitely going to be making one for me too. I also have tons … [Continue reading]

Be Prepared For a Medical Emergency- Get Informed With The Aflac Real Cost Calculator

May 10, 2013 2 Comments

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Aflac. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I'm sure you've heard of Aflac before-who doesn't know about the duck- but do you know exactly what Aflac is? I wasn't completely aware until recently just what Aflac offers, but I'm so glad I know now! Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy. You think you're safe because you have medical insurance to cover your medical expenses, but not … [Continue reading]

Mother’s Day Gift Idea: Keurig Coffee Brewer from Staples

May 9, 2013 5 Comments

Staples.com provided me with this Keurig OfficePRO Coffee Brewer for the purpose of this review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. See my terms of use above for more information. It wasn't until recently that I became a coffee drinker; I guess I've finally matured! :) In all honesty though I still prefer mine pretty weak, with creamer, and that is NOT how my husband likes his. He prefers his strong and black, sometimes adding a bit of creamer. This has meant that he … [Continue reading]

Get Unplugged On Mother’s Day- Join Me For the MetLife #SocialBlackout Movement

May 8, 2013 Leave a Comment

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for MetLife. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. This Mother's Day, (as with all previous Mother's Days), I will be spending the day at church with my family and friends. This is a weekly occurrence for me actually, though every Mother's Day I know I can look forward to the men cooking us lunch (rather than us women providing meals for potluck), and I can also count on receiving the much loved, … [Continue reading]

Wordless Wednesday- Wasp and Larvae

May 7, 2013 15 Comments

This is going to be more like Not So Wordless Wednesday, but I must fill you in. So we had a wasps nest in our backyard. Seems the wasps liked the bird house Logan painted (the birds certainly did not!) and decided to make it their home. While the kids were playing soccer today they accidentally knocked the birdhouse down into our planter. One wasp landed on our back door as if he were trying to get those pesky kids who knocked his house down: Once the wasps had stopped swarming … [Continue reading]

Welcome to another week of Delicious Dish Tuesday! How is it already a month into MAY?! Time is flying! I've had a hankerin' for these Peppermint Mocha Muffins lately, so I thought I'd share the recipe with you (again) in case you find yourself hankerin' for them too. ;) Since Mother's Day is this Sunday I thought it would be fun to feature a few recipes I'd love to have my family cook for me for Mother's Day... Now, how can I subtly share them with my husband who is not on FB, … [Continue reading]
