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 of hearing me whine, the great people at NeoStrata offered me a solution to try. NeoStrata offers the Exuviance Introductory … [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 never realized how big he actually was. His goal in life was to be a lap dog. You can see he tried to fit his big body on this … [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 Deen. In my quest to use up all of my MIL's groceries (per her request) this was the perfect dish as all I had to do was buy some … [Read more...]

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.

Mainly I read and hoard cooking magazines and Cooking Light is definitely one of them.Right now Cooking Light has is offering a 1-year subscription for $10 or a 2-year … [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 makes your skin worse? My daughter is one of those unfortunate kids who suffers from eczema. Eczema is basically a … [Read more...]

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 found, one can only wonder what else this poor child has been exposed too. What mother in their right mind would inject … [Read more...]

Sorry everyone for the delay in announcing the winners! My family has been in the process of moving and let's just say its not a lot of fun with a toddler, two dogs and a 12 hour drive! However, we are fortunate to have a three week "vacation" before starting part two of our move which includes a 17 hour drive. Blech!
