Since the Hubby has been working late a lot lately I've been going to my Dad's with the kids once a week for dinner. Since they are covering dinner I volunteered to bring the dessert.

Last week I co-hosted the first of four classes for the Tween Academy with host Rosalind Wiseman on TheMotherhood. Each class also has several selected bloggers to help with the chat. We're all Mom's of tweens and/or teens ourselves and we're adding to the talk. If you have a child in this age bracket I recommend heading over to the remainder of the classes.

Kitchenaid Pro Line Series Waffle Baker Review

Waffles. I was never big on them growing up. I was always a pancakes kinda gal. A few years ago we went away on a family vacation and they had one of those waffle makers there and the kids and husband were in heaven.

By 5 Comments
Back to school is something we dread. In August we are still on full summer vacation mode. We are still going away, spending all our free time on our boat, and well, just relaxing. The last thing we want to do is head over to the crowded mall and buy school supplies and clothing and waste out time in long lines. Did you know that even though most Moms get a head start on shopping, 25% wait until … [Read more...]

Last year I nailed our Christmas Cards. I really put a lot of effort into the photos and made sure that the photos and the card I chose went together. Sometimes having just the perfect photo doesn't make the perfect card. Find the card that perfectly suits that photos is key to bringing the whole look you are going all together.

Pregnancy: Having a Water Birth
By 9 Comments
Being pregnant there is just something that draws me to watching the 'Baby Show' on TLC. I know it's a horrible thing to do because it gets me all worked up and petrified about the fact that this baby has to come OUT of me at some point. Yes, I know I've already done it twice, and I've had both a vaginal birth and a c-section but the show definitely freaks me out. Of course once they have the … [Read more...]
