I have been trying to update my house for years now. Pretty much since I moved in really. My kitchen is spacious but I have this island that I hate right in the middle of it. I wish I had a stainless steel island for baking/cooking on. This one would be lovely. We could add the extra sink and I would have so much more space! Source: houzz.com via Kat on Pinterest Another thing I wish I had was great counter tops. Mine are basic light colored wood counter tops which do look good with my counters but I dont think they really fit the over large kitchen we have. I think marble counters would be awesome. They would be great … [Read more...]
Completing My Dream Deck with Thompson’s Water Seal
March 19, 2013 by Leave a Comment
When we were house shopping, my favorite thing about the house we bought was the huge deck. I absolutely fell in love with the idea of sitting out on the deck relaxing while my children play. It has a covered area and a big open area. Now 3 years later I am so over that deck. I hate even letting the children play on it . If you have a wooden deck you know what a pain it can be to keeping looking good. It is either dried out leaving the wood looking a hundred years old or stays wet and starts growing lovely stuff like mold and mildew. After doing a ton of research I have found out that you can use Thompson's Water Seal on decks, fences, … [Read more...]
A Night Out with Ryans
March 18, 2013 by 1 Comment
I love eating out with my family. The number one reason I love eating out? So I don't have to cook. It is hard to find a place that everyone likes though. We used to have a great hibachi buffet nearby that had a little of everything. My boys are so picky. I remember the days of them being babies and eating whatever I put in their mouths. They used to love to go out to dinner and would coo at everything and demolish their baby food and whatever bites I gave them of my adult food. Then they got bigger and got their own food and still ate everything on their plate and most of mine. All of my boys (husband included) are trying to make … [Read more...]

Natural Vitality Kids Natural Calm Multi Review
October 14, 2012 by 2 Comments
I was recently sent a bottle of Kids Natural Calm Multi for my older son to try out by Natural Vitality. I was pretty excited about it because it looked like an amazing product. It has 24 organic fruits and vegetables. It also has omega-3 DHA & EPA, vitamins and minerals, Natural Calm magnesium, balanced calcium, and amino acids. The only thing I could think that could be a downside is that usually liquid dietary supplements taste bad. Not this one. Little M said it didn't taste bad at all. He took it with a few sips of water every night at dinner. It is supposed to have a calming effect and help children focus. Most children do … [Read more...]

Velcro Industries Review – Fall Into Winter Sponsor Spotlight
October 14, 2012 by 2 Comments
Velcro Industries sent me a whole package of awesome items to try out recently. The first one I tried was the VELCRO® Brand removable picture hangers because it has a removable adhesive that won't damage walls. My husband is the world's worst for never hanging things up when I need him to and I am so worried I am going to get a hammer and knock a hole in the wall or something. So I was super excited about these picture hangers. They were so easy to use and super inexpensive. Its only $5.99 for a pack of 6 3” x 1” and 4” x 1.75” hook and loop picture hangers. Just to show you how easy it is to get organized and make … [Read more...]
