Weekly Recap Wilton & Chicago!

What a week. Lately I am feeling behind, overwhelmed, and tired beyond belief. Of course I'm tripping over my own two feet lately which doesn't help. I know you're waiting for some fun WIlton pics so here are some. I have tons to share with you and sadly a lot for a later time once new fun products are being released that I had to swear to keep a secret to get to play with. Skipping Monday … [Read more...]

Winners! Winners! Winners!

I have EIGHT contests that have ended. If you noticed this week was definitely a heavy product week as I wanted to make sure I still kept my personal posting :) One of my favorite posts of that week was our trip to the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine FL which sadly got pushed down quickly. If you would like I'd love it if you check it out as it's an awesome place to keep in mind on your next FL … [Read more...]

Cheesy Red Potato Recipe! Great For A Summer Picnic Side!

I love having summer picnics but I hate the work that it involves when it comes to food prep and clean up. So when I find a simple and easy side dish in both preparing and clean up and everyone raves about it I know it's a keeper! Line a cake pan with tin foil and preheat your oven for 300. First, cut up a bunch of red potatoes keeping the skins on. Wash them first. Then slice an onion as … [Read more...]

Neutrogena Wet Skin Sunblock Spray Review!

Sunscreen. It's a battle in my family every year. Sadly it isn't even for one specific reason but multiple reasons. We spend a lot of time outdoors and with all the ways we look to stay cool 98% of the time require water. Getting my kids out of the water alone is hard enough but asking them to do so to put on sunscreen is usually impossible. The last thing they want to do is get out, dry off, and … [Read more...]

Red Envelope Has Great Father’s Day Gift Ideas! $50 Giveaway!

I love Red Envelope. I think I've been stalking their website for a couple years now. I made my first purchase with them several months ago and the service was fast, easy, and packaged well. The items I ordered were exactly as described and items I wasn't really able to find on other sites. So when I was asked to participate in their Father's Day Gift Giving I was in without thinking twice about … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday! Garden Fun!

My gardens are all set except for two more things I am struggling to find. Here is my Vegetable Garden. It has Tomatoes, Summer Squash, Zucchini, Peas, and then it's bordered with bush green beans. This is my Herb Garden. It has literally all the herbs- except curly parsley because I can't find it so I'm seeding it. I am also seeding bush lettuce to border the front. Of course Johnny's is … [Read more...]

Weekly Recap! Summer Fun!

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! My family hardly spent anytime in the house. We spent our days in the gardens and waterslides and the nights by campfires making s'mores! I leave tomorrow to go back to Wilton in Chicago and visit the tent sale with all my Wilton ladies so this week will be a little slower since I haven't had much prep time.Hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend with … [Read more...]
