Having a baby can mean changes in your skin (even if that baby is almost two years old!). I whined about this in a previous post and my dry skin continues to be a problem. I live in the South, so showering twice a day is pretty much a given. After my evening shower, my face is usually so dry on my cheeks and forehead, I fear my face will crack at any time. Tired … [Read more...]
Ivan the Terrible aka Iverson, Ivy & Ivanhoe
May 29, 2011 by 9 Comments
As I finish making the side dishes for our Memorial Day celebration with family and friends, I can't help but to remember my dog, Ivan. Ivan was the sweetest dog you would ever meet. A mixture of German Shepherd and Chow Chow, many people thought I was crazy when I picked him out at the Kansas Humane Society. I knew instantly he was going home with me. Ivan … [Read more...]
Hot Chicken Salad Recipe
May 27, 2011 by 6 Comments
This is a Hot Chicken Salad Recipe, as in temperature hot, not spicy hot. My aunt-in-law (my husband’s aunt) made this for one of my baby showers. It was so good that I meant to get the recipe, but in all the pregnant, gonna pop any day mental state that I was in, I forgot to. Luckily, as I was reading my MIL’s cookbooks, I came across the recipe from Paula … [Read more...]

May 26, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Photo courtesy of Cooking LightI have a confession. I like to read magazines. I also like to hoard them. Before our last move, I had three years of cooking magazines organized neatly in my pantry. Did I refer back to them? Occasionally but for the most part, they took up shelf space. Mainly I read and hoard cooking magazines and Cooking … [Read more...]

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion Review
May 20, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Dry skin is annoying and irritating. We all expect some level of dry skin during the winter months and probably have various bottles of lotion throughout our homes. Our expectation is that if we apply lotion on a regular basis, the dryness disappears and our skin becomes smooth and rejuvenated. But what if applying the lotion doesn't work or actually … [Read more...]

Daughter Removed From Botox Mom’s Custody
May 16, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I'm all for someone receiving Botox injections. In fact, I've received my fair share of them. Give me 24 units of Botox for my birthday or Mother's Day and I'm a happy girl. But giving them to your 8-year old daughter?! I try not to judge others as I haven't walked in their shoes but in cases like this were common sense is no where to be … [Read more...]

Purex Complete Crystals Softener
April 26, 2011 by 32 Comments
Years ago (at least 6, maybe longer), I replaced all my shabby old towels with these great ones from Restoration Hardware. I love these towels. They are still as thick as the day I bought them but in the past 1-2 years, I've noticed their "softness" has worn off and they sometimes smell a little musty. As with any good towel, if you read the label they recommend you … [Read more...]
