Recipies, reviews and random rants from a mom of two!
A few weeks ago I told you about Saj and Sunny's experiences as Kiddie Academy Franchise owners. Today I'm sharing the story of Cory and Summer Bullock. The Bullocks prove that drive and determination are what it takes to create a successful business and that age simply does not matter. Cory and Summer Bullock opened their Kiddie Academy franchise, located at 2010 … [Read more...]
In a world where many people use social media to complain about things (me being one of them), I've decided to take the time and tell you about one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. Seriously, this ranks up there with the nurses and physicians when I delivered my daughter 3 years ago or when I bought my Acura 8 years ago. I want to give … [Read more...]
Losing your voice is rough. I've been without my voice for 4 days and just when I think it's coming back, it decides to go into hiding again. Instead of telling my daughter no, I now shake my head furiously at her. She thinks it's funny and shakes her head back at me. Not the type of response I was wanting. Bedtime rituals are pretty much defunct. I tried to … [Read more...]
Maybe it's just me but lately it seems like everywhere I go, I see bad behavior. And I'm not talking about children or teenagers, I'm referring to adults! Adults who are supposed to set the example, adults who complain about the behaviors their children have. By no means am I perfect, I 100% admit I have flaws but I will argue that I'm more considerate of other … [Read more...]
In honor of President's day, I thought this infographic was not only appropriate but interesting as well. Seems like I'll need to send my daughter to an Ivy-league school so she has a better chance of becoming President. :) Just kidding mom and dad, I'd rather she do something where 50% of the people she works for don't automatically dislike her! … [Read more...]
Today I'm linking up with Simply Stacie and Sassy Mama in LA on their weekly Pinterest meme. This week's theme is LOVE. I picked this image for two reasons: 1) I LOVE Johnny Depp, even from his days on 21 Jump Street and 2) this quote says it all. Source: stumbleupon.com via Sarah on Pinterest … [Read more...]
I've lived in Arkansas for 8 months now and that means I'm due for every exam you can think of. Dentist, optometrist, ob/gyn and more. My entire adult life, I've been spoiled. Working in physician medical practices, I've always known who the good docs are. Let's face it, all physicians are NOT created equal and just because you have the initials MD or DO after … [Read more...]
Last week I told you about some of the disturbing facts I learned about food insecurities in our children. What I learned last week angered me. I was angry with myself because I take for granted the ability to buy food for my kids without concern, angry because I realized how much food our family wastes on a weekly basis and angry because I didn't feel I was … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My dog, Ivan, was the love of my life. He was the dog that everyone was intimidated by, until they got to know him. He didn't have an enemy and loved on everyone. Ivan was always plagued with medical problems. He suffered from skin and stomach issues. … [Read more...]
Hey everyone, I know that we're all focused on working on our New Year's Resolution, preparing our taxes and getting ready for the Super Bowl but for some kids out there, all they are concerned about is knowing when their next meal is going to be. I've written about food insecurities before and it's something that is near and dear to my heart. I'm fortunate to be … [Read more...]
