This post is brought to you by LTD Commodities. My husband and I hosted Christmas dinner for the entire extended family for a few years after we bought our new house. It was nice to open our home to our family and gather together. We enjoyed it. Once my parents built a larger home, they took over the Christmas dinner hosting. I still love to get involved with cooking and decorating even though it is no longer at my house. Do you host Christmas dinner for family in your home? Since we have … [Read more...]
Baby Must: Bumbo Floor Seat and Tray
We had a Bumbo floor seat with both of our children and absolutely loved it. When my Princess had hers we used to call it the "poop chair" because every single time she sat in it she would poop. I don't know how many times we had to disinfect that little baby chair. When we had baby #2, we got our Little Man his chair at our local baby consignment store. We loved it so much with our first, we knew we needed one for him too. This little chair has been a life saver in our home. It's not just … [Read more...]
Sports Equipment Storage Solutions
Thank you Racor® for sponsoring today's post. Is your garage cluttered with sports equipment? We have young children so our home is not yet overrun with sports stuff but our garage is another matter.

Do any of you other homeschoolers experience this same thing? It is amazing that in six weeks she has learned to read a huge amount of 3 letter words. The joy she … [Read more...]
College Football Too?
Thank you NCAA and Rite Aid for sponsoring today's blog post. Football. We have a love hate relationship. In our family, football season is pretty important.

Playing In His Puke
I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and its client. We flew home from Montreal, Quebec on Sunday and fly out to Denver on Wednesday morning. These few precious days at home, in my own bed, are fleeting and chaotic. Mostly they are just plain stressful. Unpacking, cleaning, laundry, and repacking equals stress for my life. On top of this, due to time zone changes, my … [Read more...]
