Each and every year I buy a few new personalized Christmas tree ornaments to add to our tree. There is just something about having a tree filled with ornaments we picked, designed and represent us that makes me feel like the tree is more 'us'. It is also an excellent way to record memories of life's events and activities! This year I started my shopping early by visiting Ornament With Love. Both my youngest have a 'birth' ornament, but Ethan did not. So I started browsing their baby ornaments first. The great thing about a personalized ornament is that you can back date. If you started a tradition … [Read more...]

I am slowly, but surly recovering from my ankle surgery. One of the things the doctor said I should start doing more often is walking distances and once my ankle heals more jogging short distances. During the day I have Carlee and Emmitt home. Carlee can walk and even jog short distances with Carlee but Emmitt (18 months) needs a stroller to sit in that can be used for walking distances and jogging! The J is for Jeep Wrangler Sport Jogger fits this bill and has quickly become my go to stroller for nightly walks!

PACO Collars: The Rylie
November 4, 2012 by 18 Comments
When we decided to add a dog to our family one of the first things I started searching for was a decent collar. Lots of people simply pick out a 10-20 dollar collar from the local pet store and wonder why it irritates their dog or rips and breaks at such an inconvenient time. A collar should be a purchase that is thought out and a product that will last a long time. After all- your dog will be wearing it every single day. PACO Collars are like no other collar on the market. All collars are made with latigo leather, the same leather used in horse tack so it is designed to handle the elements (and … [Read more...]

We have a large family, which means we often look for ways to help us save money. One of the biggest ways for us to save is at the grocery store. Using coupons, not buying as much junk, etc. One big expense we have not been able to kick is soda. The husband feels like he must have a soda a day and will die if he does not get one. So I set out to find a cheaper way to supply him with his daily dose of caffeine and found SodaStream! Making carbonated water and soft drinks is simple! Turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds, with no clean-up. Enjoy the freshness and convenience of … [Read more...]

Miss Carlee loves to dress up. Actually, I think she lives to dress up and I am OK with that. I want my little girl to remain a little princess for as long as she possibly can so I encourage dress up and pretend play. Problem is, over the years her collection of Dress Up Clothes has gotten pretty large and we really had no where to put it- till now!
