Disney’s Planes Reveals The Full Cast

Disney Planes #DisneyPlanes

My daughter has been waiting for Disney's Planes to open for over a year. The first time she saw the preview on her Toy Story 3 DVD, she told me over and over how much she loves planes. Fortunately for me, what is out of sight is out of mind for a then 2 1/2 year old and she quit asking...until yesterday. When she saw me going through the emails on my MacBook. One click on an email with the new Planes poster was all she needed to be reminded of the movie that's her "favorite" (because now 3 1/2 … [Read more...]

Clean Up Those Messy Moments with LYSOL No-Touch Hand Soap

Lysol no touch hand soap

Messy moments are not uncommon in my house. With a 3-year old, it's anyone's guess as to what she'll get into next. Sometimes it's paint, other times it's items in my pantry but most of the time, it's the food that she eats.  Right now, she has a fascination with peanut butter and apple slices.  While I'm glad she prefers this to cookies for her afternoon snack, anytime she eats peanut butter it's a mess. From her face to her hands, peanut butter is every where and it's a sticky mess.  The last … [Read more...]

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars

Thank you to Welch's for sponsoring this post and making lunch time a little easier and a whole lot more fun! In my life, I would estimate I've eaten at least 1000 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  I remember as a kid bypassing the butter and putting peanut butter and jelly on my toast. I'd wash it down with a glass of milk and that would be my after school snack. Now that I have a daughter who is always asking for snacks, she's also become a fan of the peanut butter and jelly combo, only … [Read more...]

Healthy Choice Frozen Meals

This post is Sponsored by Healthy Choice. My typical day starts at 6:30 am. I'm not a morning person. Never have been and despite what people keep telling me, I never will.  That means for 20 minutes I hit snooze on my iPhone and then finally roll out of bed. Getting ready doesn't take me that long since I cut my hair off (have I shared THAT pic with ya'll?). After that, it's getting my daughter up and convincing her to let her dad get her ready for school. I'm not sure why but she thinks … [Read more...]

Hidden Valley Ranch Pasta Salad Remix

March 25, 2013 By
Not Your Ordinary Pasta Salad from East9thStreet.com

My daughter is a sucker for pasta salad.  All I have to do is drizzle a little Italian dressing on some pasta and she's one happy kid. While that's fine every once in a while, I like to have a little more variety in my food.  Instead of the same old pasta salad, I thought I would sweeten things up a bit by adding grapes and substituting Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Mix for the usual Italian dressing.  Ingredients1 12 oz box of your favorite pasta 1 cup of grapes, cut in half1/2 cup diced ham1/2 … [Read more...]

Medication safety infographic

Medication safety is a very important topic. Thanks to Safe Kids Worldwide for sponsoring this post. My daughter loves to take medicine. She's especially fond of the purple one, because purple is her favorite color, and likes the red one as well.  For her, getting a cough and cold is a treat because if she's bad enough, I'll give her some medicine to help with the congestion and cough. Even though I keep her medication on a high shelf where she can't reach it, I'm always afraid that she'll … [Read more...]

This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias®  and ConAgra Foods. I don't have enough fingers and toes to show you how many times I have said I'm going to lay off the junk food, exercise more and stress less.  I'll give myself a pep talk, do great for a week or two and then BAM. Life gets a little too busy and I'm back to my old habits of hitting up the drive thru and ditching the gym.  I've realized that healthy living doesn't have to be … [Read more...]

This post brought to you by Cooper Tire. All opinions are 100% mine. Last week I told you about some of the things on my bucket list. Well, there is one major thing that I left out. One thing that I think every person should experience and something I plan to do with my daughter: a road trip across America. I want her to experience random stops to see the biggest ball of twine and eat with the locals at taco trucks. I want her to see the country and realize that there is so much more to … [Read more...]
