A Shaklee Giveaway!

{via} Remember my Shaklee post?  It seemed like an issue that lots of us worry wart moms are concerned about.  We, of course, want to make sure that we are providing the safest possible environment for our families, but it is not always easy to do.  AND… it always seems like there is constantly something…

A Wealth of Confusing Knowledge

One day out of the clear blue Wade said… “This is Saturn… It’s in the sky.” I looked in shock to see he had this in his hand… Uh, no idea where he picked up that nugget of knowledge unless it was from his super nice teacher…   Again out of the clear blue {apparently…

Deep breath… I did it. I switched to my OWN domain!

I’ve recently been tweaking stuff around here.  Trying to make some better, more visually appealing elements and choices.  Back when I started this blog I really didn’t know better when I came up with the name and the blog address.  But now that I’ve learned a thing or two, it can be very skeeeery to…

The LOSER Party… Part III

Part III on my Weight Loss Inspiration List is a power packed husband and wife team {Stephen & Nicole} that worked together to help each other reach some fabulous goals. We’ve known Stephen and Nicole for about 4 years now.  Nicole was Haylee’s {awesome and amazing} Kindergarten teacher… {Nicole was four or five months preggo…

The LOSER Party… Part II

Part II on my list of Weight Loss Inspirations is… My own dear brother Mack! This January he decided to try what he calls “his own version” of a diet. Each month he tried to add a new element to his plan, and as of June 1st, he has lost a WHOPPING 48 lbs! FORTY-EIGHT!…

Attached To Baby

When I had Wade, I was shocked to discover he was not going to be as easy going as his big sister Haylee.  He did NOT care for most baby toys like the bouncer or the swing.  I even named him my fussbudget.  Many people recommended a sling or carrier, but at that point I…

I’m such a Loser…

I spent most of my life super duper skinny.  Bony Skinny.  I even had an awful nickname in high school that I so didn’t love… Chicken Little Legs.  {Thanks, Beau.} I got made fun of for being too skinny which granted was much better than the alternative I am sure.  I gained a little bit…

Oh. the HAIR.

This child’s hair is a mighty thorn in my flesh.  I just can’t seem to come up with a manageable way to tame it. It somehow seems to grow UP and OUT not down or long.  Basically it turns into a fro. He often wakes up in the morning with some amazing and unbelievable bed…

I blinked…. and eight years flashed by…

Eight years ago we had one of the biggest life changing moments ever.  We had a kid!  It is funny to think how naïve we both were of what was ahead of us.  We had NO idea.  :) Our life pre-kids seems like a distant dream that lasted only about 3 seconds, I think.  A…

A Needed Reminder {& Free Printable!}

Being a wife and mom is a great job, isn’t it?  It’s a tough one for sure but often comes with rewards like sticky hugs and adorable smiles.  Sometimes we I seem to focus on the part of the job that isn’t so marvelous though… the daily grind of the mostly mundane stuff… wiping faces,…
