Get togethers with friends!
When I was a kid, every Friday evening when my parents got home, they'd change out of their work clothes, make some part of dinner and we'd head down to the neighbor's house. The adults would sit around drinking their beverage of choice while the kids ran around playing. Every family brought some part of a meal and we'd all eat. It was the ...

‘Go Nautical’ with Gymboree’s Spring Collection!
I have two very different kids. James will wear pretty much whatever I put in his drawers without complaint. He does love some things more than others, but he has no interest in picking things out from the store. Colin, on the other hand, is very vocal about what he does or doesn't want me to buy for him. If I find and buy ... Read More about ‘Go Nautical’ with Gymboree’s Spring Collection!
Kids in the Kitchen: Spring Break Edition
This week was Spring Break. The kids and I didn't do much of anything in the kitchen. We had a picnic playdate with friends one day, a laser tag playdate at the park another day, and then my mom took the boys for two days. I recently received a new cookbook, Classic Snacks Made from Scratch, so the boys and I flipped through it to ... Read More about Kids in the Kitchen: Spring Break Edition
Microsoft Store Opens in San Antonio, TX!
I was invited to a preview of the Microsoft Store before it opened but because I had a previous commitment I was going to have to decline. I REALLY didn't want to, but what else could I do. But then my husband volunteered to fill my shoes. I asked if that would be alright, and they said SURE! The following are my husband's words: The ...

I’m headed to the #LuvSoFab #SoFabCon! #cbias
Can you believe I've never been to a blogging conference in my {almost} two years of blogging?! It's not that I haven't wanted to - I HAVE! - but they've never been at an ideal place (or time). Wouldn't it be rather perfect for my first conference also be their first?! I would absolutely love to attend the very first #LuvSoFab #SoFabCon! My ...

Glow Crazy Distance Doodler {#Review}
My kids love to play with all kinds of fun toys. They really aren't very picky about what you give them, they love it all. This review was supposed to be up a few months ago, but I kept pushing it back because my boys got SO.MUCH.STUFF for Christmas. However, Friday night was (what we call) the first official day of Spring Break, ... Read More about Glow Crazy Distance Doodler {#Review}
Mamavation Monday
It's been a little over a week since I finished the #iHeartOmron challenge. I am still walking with a friend once a week, but I am floundering without some kind of accountable activity. I've joined the 2-week challenge - it starts today!! Also, I found a $19 Living Social deal for 20 aerobic kick-boxing sessions, so a ... Read More about Mamavation Monday
Kids in the Kitchen: Peeling Oranges
I had a hard time deciding what to write about this week. I have a ton of ideas floating around in my head, but I couldn't nail down just ONE - until last night. It was French Toast night at our house and it is always served with fruit. I had the brilliant idea to let my kids prep the oranges! I found those orange peelers at HEB ...
