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!

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! …

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…

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,…

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!
