Sinus infections can be nasty and hard to beat, even with antibiotics. They can just go on and on and on while you’re desperately trying to function, but you feel horrible. Who wants to deal with that? A couple years ago, when I had a particularly bad sinus infection, that I couldn’t seem to kick… read more »
When a recipe calls for shortening, it can mean a greasy mess in your measuring cups. At least that’s what it used to mean for me. Until I discovered an easy trick that makes measuring shortening quick & easy and doesn’t leave you with greasy measuring cups that are a pain to get clean. It was… read more »

Last week, I checked our bank account as I balanced the budget like I do each week. There were two pending charges from Apple iTunes, each was $149. When I saw those charges, I knew something was up. Nate & I are very good about communicating with each other when it comes to finances. We… read more »
If you don’t use Google Chrome as a browser, maybe this post will have you considering it. It’s a pretty cool browser that lets you do everything Mozilla Firefox does, plus some more pretty cool things. (I haven’t used Internet Explorer for years, so I won’t reference it.) Google Chrome is awesome because, almost like… read more »
Among our family of pets (not nearly as many as we used to have!) is some fish in our 29 gallon aquarium. I love our fish tank because, not only is it very peaceful and soothing to watch, but it’s neat for the kids. They can learn all about the different fish, and for Nathan,… read more »
My biggest pet peeve is people spelling my name wrong. My name is Erika, with a ‘k.’ No ‘c’ anywhere. I get it if someone’s just met me and doesn’t know how my name is spelled. But when you do know me and you email or message me on Facebook (my name is RIGHT THERE!) spelling… read more »
My husband took me out on an amazing date a couple weeks ago and I consider that our date for Valentine’s Day. With our busy schedules, it’s hard to plan things so it worked out well that we did it earlier. Nate surprised me on a Friday afternoon by coming home early with flowers. See… read more »
I already shared my favorite immune-boosting remedies for kids and now I’ll share what I take myself and recommend. Us moms need to stay healthy too! If we get sick, it can be disastrous for the whole house. Notice I said “what I take” because trying to get my husband to take any vitamins is like… read more »
We all know the best way to avoid getting sick is to get lets of rest, eat healthy, exercise, get fresh air, wash your hands frequently, etc. But it can be tricky with kids. They are so quick to touch everything and put things in their mouth and then rub their eyes. Natural remedies can… read more »
I’ve been on an organizing spree lately and that has spread to Facebook. I have probably “liked” thousands of Facebook pages over the last few years. Many pages are for blogs that I love and want to keep around, but a movie or brand I liked 3 years ago that I really don’t care about… read more »
Whether you’ve been dating for two months or married for 20 years, Valentine’s Day is a time to express your love and affection for one another. Rather than buying overpriced chocolates and picked-over candy, why not surprise that special someone in your life with homemade sweet treats? From mouthwatering fruit to decadent dark chocolate, the… read more »
Can you believe another year has gone by already? Instead of New Years resolutions, I thought it would be fun to think about things we want to do in our lifetime. Is there any one thing you want to do or a place you want to visit? I’ve always wanted to go some place tropical… read more »
We didn’t get our Christmas tree on Sunday. After running some errands after church, the kids were tired and cranky and Nate & I decided it would be better to wait until Saturday. We’ll do it in the morning when everyone is happier and not in need of a nap! Getting a tree isn’t any… read more »
