Grilled Cheesy Broccoli Pocket with Ham {kid friendly #recipe from #birdseye}

Now that its the holiday season things really are out of control and there is no time for anything it seems. The two older boys are both in afterschool programs AND sports making for some crazy, crazy schedules. I'm normally picking them up from an afterschool lesson and only have an hour or less until they are due at a sport practice. Thing is those sports practices are a couple hours long and … [Read more...]

{Wordful Wednesday} Overwhelmed

Things are insane over here. I feel like I have so much to do. Come this weekend all this crazyness will be worth it though so I just need to get through this week. Hubby & I have a fun family week planned for the boys and I'm disconnecting from the internet as much as possible to make it all about family. We planned this awhile ago and it sounded like such a great idea (and it is!) but the … [Read more...]

Holiday Gift Sets from Hickory Farms {Review & Giveaway} #HickoryFarmsMom

I love being the one to make a bunch of stuff and show up with handfuls of baked goods come the holiday time but let's be honest- things get busy. As you know I just got back from California and we have another trip coming up. The boys have multiple sports going on and I just ran out of time. I still wanted to bring something really nice that would be well received by the host.   For more than … [Read more...]

The Little Tikes iTikes Piano {Giveaway}

Gavin is my difficult one this year. I really have no clue what we are going to get him. He really has no one big want and we are stumped on things to get for him. He's watched his brother learn how to play both the guitar and the drums and has told us a few times he'd like to learn piano. A family member let us use their big keyboard but I think the size of it was over whelming. When I saw this … [Read more...]

Johnny has it so he lets me take way more photos of him which … [Read more...]

UMI Shoes Style this Holiday Season Review & $60 Gift Card Giveaway!

Johnny was so easy to dress. Whatever I gave him he wore. He's still kind of like that in a sense as long as I keep it athletic. Gavin on the other hand is really picky with anything he wears. He has a say with everything that he wears. If he has visually approved it it still has to get his seal of approval comfort wise. Gavin doesnt like anything stiff, hard, or time consuming to put on. As a mom … [Read more...]
