We have been slowly, but surly trying to make our home more and more energy efficient. Each and every project we complete lowers our electricity a bit- saving us, sometimes more in a year than the project even cost to complete! We started with simple things like switching to LED light bulbs, weatherstripping our doors and making sure all of our windows had an air tight seal. Neither my husband or I are very handy- so simple projects are all we really could do! A few weeks ago, when my friend bought a new home- she told me about this awesome thermostat they installed that would learn from what they … [Read more...]
The Carseat Canopy
September 7, 2012 by 4 Comments
If you have a car seat that is a bit blah and you want to spice it up or have a blue carseat and are expecting a pink baby then I have the perfect solution for you! When I found out that we were expecting our second beautiful girl I knew I would be able to save a bit of money by simply reusing my first daughters infant carseat. Problem was- the army moved us last time and they lost a ton of our stuff, including the canopy that went over the carseat. A replacement canopy was almost as expensive as a new carseat so I figured I would just do with out- till I found out about carseat … [Read more...]

Mommy Is Broken
September 3, 2012 by 25 Comments
I have received many emails and messages from my wonderful readers, so I wanted to take the time to sit down and explained what happened to me! Broken bones are thankfully something I have never had to deal with. I made it through childhood and adolescence with not a single bone and thankfully (knock on wood) thus far none of my children have experienced anything broken either. Well all that came crashing, or should I say falling down Thursday evening as I tumbled down an entire flight of stairs holding my 18 month old! My main concern the entire way down was not landing on him! Babies … [Read more...]

I have never had a child that was super into one specific thing till Emmitt. This boy will do anything he can to play with a ball. Any type of ball! Football, bouncy ball even marbles! So when I saw that Bright Starts was adding a 5-in-1 Sports Zone 'balltastic' toy to their havin' a ball line I knew we had to have it for Emmitt! Assembly was a breeze.
