A day at our zoo ended with turtle races. LOL I know, exciting right? Well, surprisingly these little guys were faster than they looked. Each turtle had a number on it's back and kids got to pick their favorite and got a prize if their turtle won. And while you're here, get your last minute entries in, we've got a few giveaways ending on Friday, plus plenty that run until the end of the month. See all … [Read more...]
No, not in the snotty teenager kind of way but in the oh so cute, "mommy has a funny face" kind of way. I really wish you could see the excitement on my face right now. I'm just plain giddy. Why? Ever since Emma was born she's been more closely bonded with daddy. I'm not sure why. I spend just about every minute of the day with her and breastfeeding her as well. But there's been something holding us apart. I know … [Read more...]
This morning I woke up feeling pretty down about my life, the choices I've made, and the choices I've failed to make. It's not the most pleasant start to a day or even a week but there was something else. My sweet Emmaleigh sleeping peacefully in my arms. Seeing her there just warmed my heart up and gave me a dose of the warm fuzzies. It completely turned my day around. Why? Because Emma and I aren't as closely … [Read more...]
And I'm not talking about Chinese food, which actually sounds good right now considering it's 7:45pm and the last thing I ate was a microwaved breakfast bowl at 11am. That of course explains why my daughter has nothing but formula all day and mommy isn't making any milk. :-( My day started out like one of those sour candies that you bite into and immediately shocks your mouth with disgusting sour, then after a few … [Read more...]
Building a great blog is much more than sharing cute photos and telling the world about your day, unless of course that's all your shooting for. On the other hand, if your goal is to reach out to thousands of people and brands, you'll want to learn a few things about SEO (search engine optimization). By definition, this is the process by which you improve the volume or quality of traffic (visitors) to your blog from … [Read more...]

Every time I look at my children, especially my girls, I'm reminded of that Dr. Seuss book, Are You My Mother?. You know, the one where the lost little bird sets out to find his mother not knowing what she looks like. I often feel like that, except I'm searching for that little baby bird that looks like me. I should have known when I met my husband family that I had no chance of surviving his gene pool. The entire … [Read more...]
Don't ask me why they are called this, I'm not even sure I know. I didn't even know what a "hobo" meant until I looked it up in the online dictionary. If memory serves me correctly it was my sister who introduced me to cooking potatoes like this, except I think she used margarine. Sorry folks, only real butter in my house! I guarantee if you make these once, you'll want them every time you grill out. What You'll … [Read more...]
The other day one of the readers here left a hilarious comment about her toddler making embarrassing faces at a little old lady years ago. It got me thinking about what I have to look forward to with my almost two year old toddler Kaydence, and remembering the years when my son Mattison was a toddler. Many years ago when our son was about 2 1/2, maybe 3, we were at IHOP sitting down for a late breakfast. We ate … [Read more...]
