Bacon Loaded Twice Baked Potato Skins Recipe

We're not really football fans but once a year we gather around the TV and enjoy the Super Bowl. We were disappointed that the New England Patriots didn't make it but we still of course tuned in for a good game, good commercials, and of course good food. So when I shared this photo on Instagram and you guys asked for the recipe, so here it is. Preheat oven to 450. Scrub several small to … [Read more...]

{Wordful Wednesday} Sigh

Two weeks ago Sawyer finally learned how to crawl. Then just a few days later he learned how to pull himself to standing and is now EV-VER-RE-WHERE. I can't get anything done and I can't get him to stay entertained on his own no matter how much I try. Today I played with him nonstop hoping to tire him out so I could work on a sponsored post. Nope. He wasn't having it. He kept coming over pounding … [Read more...]

Kid Safe, Mom Approved You Tube Videos- Finally! #LegoChannel {Plus #WIN $1K gift card}

Gavin is my gamer. He loves games, videos, and animation. He's often using my ipad so he can go online to view videos. Problem between both YouTube and Netflix I feel like I have to hover over him so that he can enjoy his videos and I can know that he isn't going to land on something inappropriate. Sadly, even if he sticks to the simple searches that I say are okay people out there like to tag … [Read more...]

NEW! Cotton Cable Sweater Knit SleepSack® Wearable Blankets {Review & Giveaway}

Since the night Sawyer came home from the hospital I've used wearable blankets to make sure he's warm when he would sleep flat. If they had one with a slit for his swing he probably never would have come out of it. Since keeping all blankets out of the crib is a must and keeping him warm is one too that makes these wearable sleeping bags a must and the Halo Sleepsack keeps them warm and looks … [Read more...]

Use Your Photos {Photo Prep & Storage}

As you know I love taking photos. I have tried so many ways to keep those memories alive and failed miserably at a lot of them. This year I'm trying a few new things and thought I'd make it a monthly blog post since I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one in need of a little direction. Feel free to use your favorite online photo site of choice, if you don't have one you can use Shutterfly with me. If … [Read more...]

Super Bowl Appetizers from Land O Lakes {Giveaway Prize Pack too!} #CheeseChatter

I was totally bummed when our New England Patriots failed to make the Super Bowl. My dad is a HUGE Patriots fan and goes ALL out if they make the Super Bowl. They aren't in it so the party for the super bowl will be small but of course still surrounded by lots of great foods. I love opportunities like this to make some new recipes and when I was invited to a fun webinar from Land O Lakes to learn … [Read more...]

Win a $50 Walgreen’s Gift Card from Flatout Flatbreads #FlatoutHot

On my last trip to Walgreens I grabbed a few groceries which was great since it turned my two trips into one. I was able to get everything from cheese, bread, yogurt, and even beverages. Since they had just come out with the new Flatout Flatbreads that I shared with you last week I've been messing around with all the different ways I can use them since. I love that they come in so many … [Read more...]

{Wordful Wednesday} Sports

I'm so late, I know. Yesterday we mourned the loss of my husbands grandfather and quite honestly by the time I got home from the day I was exhausted and turning on my computer was not happening. Around here it's a good thing I don't have to turn my laptop on during the weekends either as they have become completely overtaken by the boys sports programs. Gavin isn't thrilled with basketball but … [Read more...]

Daily Dose of Sawyer Round Up – Month Nine

My baby is getting so big. He is learning things so quickly now and has such great positive personality and just reflects back in all his photos! He is really sitting well at this point and when you can get him to pay attention and sit still (which is incredibly challenging at times) he'll give you such a great photo. He even let me catch his two bottom teeth he finally got in month nine. He … [Read more...]
