For as long as I can remember I've suffered with the occasional eczema breakout. This includes mild symptoms of irritation, itching (severe) and dry/scaly skin rashes on my hands and feet. While it can be found other places on the body, those are my trouble spots especially during the dry winter months. It usually starts out as very itchy spot on the palms of my hands that when left untreated (or scratched … [Read more...]
A week or two ago I saw this really tempting blog post for slow cooked short ribs from Lori at My Wooden Spoon. Go take a peek, I'll wait ........ Looking good aren't they? I thought so and decided I must make some or at least something similar. Growing up the only way I ever ate ribs was a slab of baby backs in my mom's pressure cooker. They came out fall off the bone tender with the BBQ sauce broiled on top. … [Read more...]
Sam's Club is one store I love going to again and again. Aside from the fresh bakery goods, bulk sized products for our big family and fresh produce, I can also score some great deals with extra special savings for members. During the month of February you can stock up on P&G products at Sam’s Club and get a $10 gift card back in your wallet to buy even more. Just pick up any two of the following baby … [Read more...]

We're less than a week away from Super Bowl Sunday and I don't about you but we're busy prepping the house for some good food and fun. Yesterday we made a quick trip to Sam's Club to stock up on some appetizers and snacks to feed the family and needed to do it on a budget. Personally, I love going to Sam's Club to fill up the fridge with food for holidays and special occasions. I can get a lot of bang for my buck and … [Read more...]
Every morning I wake up and drag myself into the kitchen to get my day started with a warm cup of tea. It's the one drink that's gentle on my stomach and gives me just enough of caffeine to get me going. While I typically drink English Breakfast Black Tea, I did get the opportunity to experience flavored green teas from Lipton. Each tea is uniquely flavored natural fruit flavors like blueberry, raspberry and … [Read more...]
Twenty-nine years ago today I was born in the wee hours of the morning. I don't have many pictures of me as a baby but I did come across these two ... with me ... dressed in blue. I still tease my mom about dressing me like a boy but I'm guessing it was just hand me down stuff from a cousin. While my birthday didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped for, I did have a nice Olive Garden dinner at home with family, … [Read more...]
Yesterday I was doing some blog hopping and ran into a fantastic deal that Nichol at Kiddies Corner Deals shared. I swear, this girl is costing me more money every time I visit her blog. She finds some of the best deals and I hopped on this one from The Disney Store ... Buy One Get One FREE on Plush characters. With Emma's birthday in just a month I took the opportunity to pick her up a few of her favorite characters … [Read more...]
Super Bowl Sunday is a day usually spent at home with our family so we tend to make a lot of kid-friendly appetizers and side dishes. If that's something you're looking for then your kids will love these cheesy bacon tater tots. The ingredients are simple and can be thrown together in less than 30 minutes. Just preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and fill a cupcake pan with liners. Drop 4 frozen tater tots into … [Read more...]
Taco night around here usually means I'm tossing some seasoned meat on corn chips with the with all the fixin's. It's easy peasy but it's also kinda boring. The last time we did "tacos" the kids were begging for homemade pizzas but since I already had everything for the tacos in the fridge I thought it would be fun to give their must-have pizza .. just a little differently than they expected. This dish is easy … [Read more...]
