A blog by a mom for moms - the mom life, homeschooling, recipes, giveaways
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 »
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 »

Steven Curtis Chapman has been a hit artist in the Christian music industry for many years. I remember enjoying his music as a teenager and I still do today. I honestly can’t say that about a lot of artists. Some of my favorite Steven Curtis Chapman songs include Speechless, Dive, Cinderella, This Moment, and One… read more »
You may not love seeing the dentist, but that fresh “dentist-clean” feeling after a visit is another story. You know your teeth are sparkling clean and plague is scraped away and that’s a good feeling. Unfortunately that doesn’t often last as we get back into our daily routines. The good news is that choosing a… read more »
I’m a big fan of Old Navy. I buy a lot of my children’s clothes there, thanks to their affordability and decent quality, and now I have another reason – their new BEST-TEES. The word t-shirt is often associated with bagginess and a lack of style, but that’s not Old Navy’s BEST-TEES. Old Navy has reintroduced… read more »
I’m participating in the Delightful Discoveries campaign, sponsored by Quaker Oatmeal. Along with discovering their new cereal – Honey Nut Crunch Quaker Oatmeal Squares, we were encouraged to make our own delightful discovery for Leap Day. As Leap Day approached this week, I thought about what my Delightful Discovery would be. My week started out on a… read more »
In just over a week, we’ll get an extra day this year with Leap Year. How often do we get extra time? Not very often! As a stay at home mom to four, my days are incredibly busy between juggling my 1 and 2 year olds and homeschooling my 5 and 8 year olds. Some days I… 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 am a big fan of taking vitamin supplements. While it’s best to eat a healthy diet, life happens and it’s not always realistic to rely on diet alone, plus even then, sometimes you need something extra. That’s where supplements come in. Centrum is proud to introduce a new line of great supplements called ProNutrients™…. read more »

My 2nd Shark Steam Mop just quit working – 14 months after I bought it. No more steam. No good. My first Shark steam mop died after about 18 months. It was the cheaper $80 one from Target and I had wanted to upgrade to one with more pad options so I went ahead with… read more »
