Does your son love to go swimming, but cringe when he has to put his suit on? The traditional mesh netting inside boys swimsuits has been an issue in my house for as long as I can remember. It seems like almost every time we go swimming I end up with one boy that has a painful rash. The net rubs against my kiddos and the friction between the skin and the net chafes my boys inner legs. My boys end up walking for weeks scratching their butts because it is so itchy! The only solution I have found thus far is to cut the net liner out and have the boys instead wear a pair of undies underneath- but even … [Read more...]

June 29, 2012 by 25 Comments
My down stairs rec room is huge! It is 20 feet by 20 feet and it is so hard to decorate! We have a large sectional that divides the room and use one side of it as a kids area and one side of it as an adult area. When we added the La Z Boy chair I decided to make one nook of the down stairs my own. It helps me drastically to have a space of my own, however the window had no covering and the walls looked so bare. I a huge fan of Sean Jacobs so I knew for sure that I wanted a piece or two of his in the room.

There's nothing worse than being in the middle of an online match and the controller dying. I can not tell you how many times this has happened to people in my house using our Xbox wireless controllers. It is annoying, frustrating and maddening all at the same time. We use our Xbox for gaming, Netflix and Hulu. It is on and running for at least six hours a day. That being said we really need a battery that is going to last! The batteries we are using now are the cheap ones and we have to change them about every other day- not joking at all! "Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries have now been … [Read more...]
