Hit the Road with Zubie!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zubie for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. The Teenager wants Driver's Ed for her birthday that's less than a month away. We have offered to pay for an online course for her and to do parent taught driver training. The reality is setting in that in a little over a year, she'll be of legal driving age. *Insert Screams Here* I'm excited to learn about a service called Zubie that will actually allow us to monitor her driving while we're not in the car! We even got some…
NewAir AI-150SS Countertop Ice Maker Review | #appliances
Now that the hubs and I have buckled down and started this 24 day weight loss challenge, we find ourselves drinking copious amounts of water. The problem is, our tap water is great, bu it's just that. Plain, ground temperature tap water. Unless it's bottled, drinking water isn't that great without ice which makes it hard to swallow! When we moved our new fridge in, the waterline started leaking, so we haven't been able to hook it up to the ice maker. With 6 people in the house, we go through small bag of ice in a day or two! …
Glysonna All-Natural Sleep Aid Review | #Giveaway US/Can
As a mom of four with two in basketball and baseball, a wild child minion, and an I-must-go-to-any-and-every-activity-scheduled teenager, my sleep is highly coveted. For the past year, even though I have a great bed and ample time to sleep, I noticed that my best sleep was the hour that my husband was up and getting ready for work. You see, my husband snores - all night. It's no secret. Everyone knows. He knows everyone knows so I'm throwing out any embarrassing info here, but what it shows is that he sleeps really I don't. Between kicking him and…
Google+ Auto Awesome | Andriod App of the Week
Love the Auto Awesome enhancements of Google+! I guess it's not technically an app, but it is still cool, nonetheless! It does some really cool stuff to your photos that are uploaded from your phone to G+! It will take a burst of 5 or more like pics and turn it into the awesomeness below, and it will also do fun things to your videos. Love it. It will also take the best smile from a group of pics and put it on the best picture. Pictures with Christmas trees, or pics with lights, it will make them twinkle. It…
My “Learning to Lean” Stage | #angelathomas #learningtolean
As I'm sitting here this morning thinking of all the things I should be doing to get ready for the party of the century this weekend, I had to take a step back and reflect on an excerpt from Angela Thomas' "Brave" Bible Study that the women of our church are doing on Tuesday mornings. Right now, I'm going through what I call is my "Learning to Lean" stage of life. I'm really learning to lean on Jesus. You know, we have so many obstacles in our lives whether it's teenage rebellion, failed or failing friendships, adversities in the workplace,…
Happy Birthday, Hawk! | #hawksdisneyside
Happy birthday to who was once my little 9 lb 6 oz chub! We're excited to have a Disney Side @Home Celebration for him next weekend!
When moms play along….
So what does any good mom do when she finds this on her boys' bunk beds? She plays along, of course. The only thing I can think of is that The Entertainer came home from Papa's house with a snack bag of nuts on Sunday. I'm assuming that either he or The Minion thought it would be a good idea to pour them out at the foot of The Gamer's bed? No telling. No, we don't allow food in their rooms, however, I'd love to see their reactions!
DIY Loom Bands Valentines for Boys with Printable | #diy #valentines
So this year, I thought I'd be crafty for Valentine's Day and give the boys something they can be proud to take as well as something the kids will love to receive. I always forget and put it off until the last minute, and we're stuck digging through the Dollar Store cheapy leftovers Valentine Packs! Not this time! DIY Loom Bands Valentines for Boys with Printable I was going to do some cute Minecraft Bookmarks and Candy Bars, but when I ran to the Dollar Store to find candy, I saw the loom bands!! They had 300 bands for $1! …
Digitize your Digimon | DigiFusion Action Figures, App, and Series
Did you happen to catch the 6th season debut of Digimon Fusion at the end of January?! Up until a couple of weeks ago, I had not even heard of Digimon! I asked my kids if they had ever heard of it, and they thought I was saying it wrong, and really meant Pokemon (which I didn't!). It's kinda cool to know about a toy before my boys. They're usually up on the lastest and greatest! They were very excited to be introduced to the new season of Digimon Fusion and the awesome DigiFusion action figures! The first thing we…
Me-ify Potty Star! Potty Training iPad App Review | #pottytraining
This week, Jett's babysitter said it. "Mom, he's just about ready for potty training!" What she didn't know is that we already have a cool potty seat for him, and we've been asking him if he wants to use it since we got it. He loves the potty seat, but he's not quite ready to take the "plunge"! We were recently asked to review this really cool iPad app called ME-IFY Potty Star! Can I just say that I think it's genius to have an app that is specifically for potty learning? Get it now on iTunes! My husband downloaded…
