Last year my husband's grandmother died as a result of her Alzheimer’s. It was a heart breaking event for our family. I have spent more then half my lifetime celebrating with his family and this was the first time we had to deal with death together. A month later Hubby's cousin was telling us about the Alzheimer’s Walk and wanted us all to participate. So we named our team 'Hilda's Heroes' and … [Read more...]

Pregnancy Questions: Midwife or Doctor
By 15 Comments
When I went to my last prenatal appointment I was told I needed to make a decision by my next visit. Doctor or Midwife. In the past I didn't think twice and went with a midwife from the first visit. I love that midwives stay with you from the moment you walk into the hospital to the moment you walk out. When I was in labor with Johnny I wanted the 20+ people in the room out and didn't know how to … [Read more...]

I stumbled upon some easy crock pot recipes and thought I'd give them a try. The first one I made was Herbed Chicken … [Read more...]

Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker from Hayneedle! Review & Giveaway!
I learned about Hayneedle about two years ago. I was in awe with the online selection of products they carried. Being a product reviewer I was aware of some similar sites but normally on those sites I learned while they carried a big list of items they had limited choices once you knew what you were looking for. Until you went to Hayneedle. Not only do they have an amazing selection of products … [Read more...]
Nikita Season One on DVD
By 1 Comment
I love the show Nikita because it always keeps a suspenseful story line. The thrill and the fight is always on and even while the story sometimes shifts and we learn key information that changes the story there is always a purpose of why Division needs to be stopped. Nikita finds Alex and makes sure she's the perfect candidate for Division. In the first season, we saw Nikita (Maggie Q, "Live … [Read more...]
Whirlpool Duet Front Loading Washer & Dryer {Precision Dispense} #WhirlpoolMoms
By 8 Comments
I've had my Whirlpool Duet Front Loading Washer & Dryer set now for a couple of weeks. I previously owned a set of front loaders from LG/Tromm. If you ever asked me about them I hated them. They required so much regular maintenance that it was ridiculous. I wanted clean clothes- not something new to clean. So when I was offered by Mom Central to get rid of that set and try out these beautiful … [Read more...]
Starbucks Bistro Boxes
By 1 Comment
There are days that I feel are never ending and allow for no time to breath. Those days are generally the worst because I'm not doing anything fun. I'm usually running around making sure that everyone else is. Eating that either doesn't happen and if it does it's some fast food chain that has enough calories to count for the week all in one meal. Now, that I'm pregnant I really can't afford to … [Read more...]
