7 Must Do Things When the Kids Aren’t Around

There’s nothing we love more than our kids, but when they’re in bed, at school or you’re just lucky enough to have a babysitter for the evening – you just have to make the most of those little windows of opportunity. Learn It’s easy to let your once intelligent brain turn to mush – especially when the kids are really young and they can’t even talk to you. That’s why it’s a great idea to learn something new. A language is a great idea, especially if you’re planning to go on a foreign holiday sometime soon or you’re even thinking…

Does it really save money to rent LEGO Sets? | #lego #legos

So I just got an email with an offer for this site that is basically a Netflix-like LEGO service. It's called Pleygo. You choose a plan, pay their price, choose your sets, and they ship you the LEGOs.  You play with them as long as you want, put them back in a ziplock bag that they send you, throw it into the pre-labeled return shipping box, and start all over. Good idea, right?   Wait, what?  Sure, your house is decluttered, but are you really saving money? FAN - Get small/medium sets - $15/month, free shipping SUPERFAN - Get small/medium/large sets…

Bunkbed Ideas for Three Boys | #diy #bunkbeds

Since we've moved into this house, we've been looking at tons of different bed options for the boys like those on the Dreamcloud Hybrid Mattress Reviews.  Our small house is only three bedrooms between the six of us.  Of course, being the only girl, the Teenager gets her own room (yes, it has a pink wall so that the boys don't forget that it's hers!), and the older boys are sharing a room.  Andy and I share our room with The Minion. If you live in a small house and want to add space, it is advisable to consult a…

Drugs are wack, Jack! #duckdynasty #redribbonweek

On Monday, I was up at Braxton's school for Kids Beach Club, and they have decorations all over the school for Red Ribbon Week.  I loved this one so much that I had to snap a pic of it and add it to my Duck Dynasty Quotes!  The theme of the day was "Happy, happy, happy to be drug free," and the kids had to wear camo on Tuesday!

PREMAMA® Essentials Prenatal Drink Mix Review & Giveaway (11/7) | #pregnancy

As a doula, one of the most common early pregnancy complaints that I hear (aside of just being flat out tired all the time) is that moms hate taking prenatal vitamins because they make them sick in some form or fashion.  Whether it's heightened morning sickness or constipation, sometimes, prenatal vitamins seem like they're doing more harm than good, and many pregnant women just stop taking them - which is simple unacceptable.  On the flip side, nursing moms usually drop the prenatal vitamins after the baby is born, but they're so important to help establish a healthy breastmilk supply. (Side…

Most Memorable Moments in Television | #tv #music

Do you have any songs that just tear at your heart and take a perfectly good mood and turn it upside down for a few minutes?  Most of the time, for me, those songs come in the form of tragic and memorable moments in my favorite TV shows from our local cable tv services provider. I don't know if it's weird or not to love songs that give me a sense of sadness, but here are three of my most memorable moments in television.  Denny Duquette's Death on Grey's Anatomy I really fell in love with Denny.  I already liked…
