What I Wish I Had Known About Motherhood #ComfortsForBaby

I became a mom early. Johnny was an unexpected surprise that brightened my days at the young age of 18. From the moment I knew I was pregnant I felt a strong bond to being his mom. I knew I could do it and that I wanted to do it! As far as the actual events and milestones went for us we took them one at a time and celebrated them each one as they passed. In the beginning it was just the two of us … [Read more...]

Deliciously Easy Peanut Butter Fudge #Recipe

I have been wanting to make fudge for quite awhile but wasn't sure on what kind to start with. When I asked the hubby I should have known that he would pick Peanut Butter so off I went to Pinterest the online cookbook of choice these days. I stumbled upon a recipe that I was actually from allrecipe.com but was tried. That's what I like about Pinterest. The fact that I know many of these recipes … [Read more...]

Wilton’s Baking Basics Giveaway! $140 Value!

One of my favorite partnerships I've made with my blog is with Wilton. I do a lot with them in my personal life and it shocks me sometimes how unknown the brand is. Being a Wilton Mom Ambassador over the years has given me the ability to learn the brand on a much more personal level but I definitely knew about the brand before blogging. I find many of the people who do know the brand and know … [Read more...]

Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Cookie Balls Recipe

Hubby loves Peanut Butter but the kids aren't the biggest fan. So when I make something that is a big PB dessert I want it to be both simple and good. These NutterButter Peanut Butter Balls are just that. I found a recipe in the recent addition of Kraft's food & family magazine but while making it I got lazy and ended up only using what I had on hand so it is mildly different. In large bowl … [Read more...]

I love looking at all the different Christmas trees they have decorated all … [Read more...]

Celebrate with Welch’s Sparkling Juice! FLASH GIVEAWAY! {24 Hours} #RC

I love celebrating no matter the reason. My kids do too. On news years it's so much fun to be handed a fancy glass with a fancy drink and make a toast. The kids want to be included and there are people who have to drive home and don't want to drink an alcoholic beverage but want to be included. A couple years ago I grabbed a bottle of the sparkling juice from Welch's for the boys and they loved … [Read more...]

Prince Lionheart – chop balance BIKE {Review & Giveaway}

I have loved working with Prince Lionheart over the years. While Sawyer has had fun getting to use most of their products I began my ambassadorship with them when Gavin was little. One his favorite reviews with them was with their chop balance BIKE. See Gavin doesn't like riding bikes, even now he won't ride one. He did however ride his chopper. It was the only bike to this day he liked! The … [Read more...]
