Want to know why I drink coffee? | #coffee #booskerdoo

Most people drink coffee because it perks them up.  Some people drink coffee because it warms them up.  Many people drink coffee because that's just the thing to do when you have nothing else to do.  Do you want to know why I drink coffee? I come from a family of avid coffee drinkers. serious coffee drinkers.   We're not talking froo-froo coffee, either.  We're talking straight up black, hot coffee like those from a Coffee Van. Growing up, my parents would polish off two pots of coffee in a day, no problem.  We joke, because my dad is the only…

WaterWipes Review | #Win a case of WaterWipes! #Giveaway (12/6)

One of the hardest and last changes for parents of babies and toddlers to do when making the switch to cloth diapers is to break down and actually change to cloth wipes.  There's no judgement here, because cloth diapering isn't for everyone, and using cloth wipes isn't always for every cloth diaper user. I was excited when I received samples of WaterWipes in a Mommy Resource Bag, because I finally found a wipe that is a fantastic option for parents who are looking to live a more natural, chemical free life, yet still want to hang on to their disposable…

Santa Claus Christmas Store Personalized Family Ornaments Review | #christmas

I can remember when my daughter was born (almost 15 years ago!  eeek!) we had a hard time finding products in stores with her name on them.  Back then, there was online shopping, but it wasn't as popular (or affordable) as it is now, and even though Kylie was becoming a popular name, companies were playing it safe by sending retail stores names like Amanda, Elizabeth, Sara, Eric, Ben, and Chris.  Variations of spellings were hard to come by.  We could find Kyle everywhere, just no Kyle. Now, it's become so easy to hop online and purchase customized and personalized…

Flirty Aprons Review | Mistletoe Apron #Christmas

My mom reads my blog.  I think she's probably the only family member (aside from the hubby) who does, and last year, she saw me post about Flirty Aprons.  She fell in love, so when I had the opportunity to do a Flirty Aprons Review, I knew that I couldn't hold out and keep the apron for myself or even hold on to it until Christmas.  As soon as my beautiful model took the apron off, it went straight home with my mom.  Christmas came early for her, this year! I love this apron.  When I noticed that the Mistletoe…

Meal planning and preparation can be the most stressful part of the holiday season for people like me!  I have a small kitchen, a large family, and picky eaters! I was so excited when Schwan's Home Service took the guess work out of planning and preparation for us.  We did a trial run for our big meal, this year, so that I could bring you an honest review of the service and food from Schwan's Home Service, and let me tell I have no idea why we haven't done this before. We have a family of six, and we were…

Music Box Attic Review | Let It Snow! Frosty Tidings Snow Globe #christmas

I’m so excited.  I’ve been trying to wait until at least November 20  before even thinking about Christmas decor!  I want to hold out as long as I can, this year, to make sure I’m giving the turkey his time in the spotlight - but this new piece I received last week is making it really, really hard! I’m mostly excited to listen to Christmas music, and even though I haven’t turned on the radio or Christmas music stations, I’ve secretly been winding up my new musical snow globe when no one is home. I love snowmen.  When I visited…

Update: Children at Play signs can stay. Sort of. | #kids #safety

I keep forgetting to update you on our little neighborhood issue involving our little yellow friend and the not-so-friendly police officer from last week.  If you haven't read the original post, make sure you check it out!  ---> Are our families being singled out by police? The answer to that question is, yes. Kind of. Apparently,  said officer (from previous post) went down to have a talk with the crazy neighbor lady and her husband (ex-officer).  She was down there for a while, and we realized that they are friends. Come to find out, nothing was really even documented the…
