A blog by a mom for moms - the mom life, homeschooling, recipes, giveaways
My Pug dog, Abby, is always there. Maybe I’ve had a long day with the kids and it seems that nothing I say or do makes any headway. I can always count on Abby to nudge me, wagging her sweet curly pug tail, and flopping over so I can scratch her tummy. She seems to… read more »
I’m excited to announce that I’ve been chosen to be a Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop! Ambassador! As an ambassador, I’ll be sharing a series of posts this month about healthy snacking with Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop! and taking their “Healthy Snacking Challenge.” With a household of six, I’m always on the lookout for healthy new snack ideas…. read more »
About a month ago, I wrote about the new Crest and Oral-B Pro-Health Clinical Plaque Control line of products, which helps us keep that “dentist clean” feeling for longer. The four products included are: Crest® Pro-Health® Clinical Plaque Control Toothpaste, which helps remove plaque and prevents it from returning. This toothpaste also protects against gingivitis, cavities and… read more »
The Meat House opened in 2003 with their very first location in my own state of New Hampshire. It was started by two friends who wanted to bring back the “neighborhood butcher shop” and provide superior products and customer service. They’ve since opened more than 29 locations nationwide, with more opening soon. They even have an online shop… read more »
With a family of six, we go have a lot of trash. Diaper pails, kitchen trash, kitty litter, and more, that’s a lot of trash bags. We do recycle and that cuts down on things considerably, but we still need a reliable trash bag that’s not going to split down the side and spill everything…. read more »
Did you know that over 39% of the US has at least one dog in their household? That’s over 78 million dogs! We have our own beloved Pug dog, named Abby. She’s very much a part of the family; she even travels with us when we visit out of state family. Abby’s pretty small, she’s… read more »
I have a set of wooden end tables from my grandmother. They’re special to me because my grandma is very dear to me but unfortunately she has Althzeimers and I know her time with us is limited. So I cherish things that I’ve received from her, especially these end tables. I’ve only had them for… read more »
It’s great to recycle, but finding a way to organize it and a system that works can be more challenging than one would think. Sometimes you just don’t have the time to take things outside immediately, especially if it’s multiple times a day. So what do you do? Leave it on the counter? Rubbermaid has… read more »
FunBites is the first and only kitchen tool that cuts kids’ food into fun-shaped, bite-sized pieces. What makes FunBites stand out from any old sandwich cutter? They’re made of strong, durable material and curved blades that cuts through food quickly and easily as you push down in a rocking motion. Each FunBites includes a… read more »
What mom doesn’t need a little caffeine to help get going in the morning? Maybe you’re one who goes to bed early and is bright and wide awake come morning time, but I’m certainly not. I need my coffee in the morning. If I don’t get that cup of coffee, I find myself dragging. And… read more »
I recently shared Shout Free Stain Remover with you and now I’m excited to tell you about another great product from Shout. Shout Color Catcher With Oxi combines the benefits of Shout Color Catcher with oxi booster powder. Shout Color Catcher by itself is pretty great. You simply throw a sheet into the washing machine… read more »
Another huge part of being a mom is washing dishes. Just like laundry, it seems that no sooner have you finished emptying the dishwasher than it is filled again. Having a dishwasher can be a huge help but what happens when you find yourself pulling out less-than-clean glasses or plates? It is so frustrating to… read more »
Laundry is one of those never-ending tasks that comes with being a mom. With 4 children ages 8 and under, some days it feels like I am forever scrubbing out another stain or sorting through a basket of dirty clothes. I try to do all my laundry within one or two days a week to… read more »
