Sampling Snacks with The Goodies Company
June 13, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. All opinions are 100% my own. There are so many times that we have purchased a snack for ourselves or for the kids only to find out that it really isn't all that great. In fact, I think that can be said for just about anything - food, products, clothing, etc. The nice thing about clothing is you can try it on before purchasing. But what if you could try a snack before purchasing? Now you can with The Goodies Company. With The Goodies … [Read more...]
Father’s Day Activities with Planes
June 12, 2013 By Leave a Comment
One of Buddy's favorite movies is Cars (he used to call it Vroom Vroom). His favorite blanket is Cars, his pillow case is still Cars and he has wall decals in his room (for now anyway). We have seen Cars so many times it's ridiculous, so imagine my excitement with the creators of Cars announced Planes! I was ecstatic! Maybe now we can get Buddy off of Cars and move on to Planes! I have seen the previews and I have to admit, I think daddy and I are more excited to see Planes than … [Read more...]

June 8, 2013 By 1 Comment
Buggy loves waking up weekend mornings and watching cooking shows. Now that she's not in school, she requests to watch cooking shows every morning (if Buddy is still sleeping - he won't allow it otherwise). A couple weeks ago, we turned on Food Network to find The Sandwich King. I had never heard of him, but boy oh boy, he was making some delicious sandwiches for breakfast foods! The one we laid our eyes on: Razzle Dazzle French Toast We decided to give it a try for dinner (with my … [Read more...]
{DIY} Summer Hair Cut
June 8, 2013 By 5 Comments
I can never decide on the length I want my hair to be. Ever since I was in third grade I have gone from long to short, back and forth, constantly. Since moving to Arizona, I tend to "grow it out" in the winter (you know, the whole 3 months of winter we have) and then in summer, I keep it short. This year is no different. It's only June and already we are seeing triple digit heat which meant my shoulder length locks had to go. The last time I chopped it all off, I went to a hair … [Read more...]

Buddy loves the food pouches and applesauce doesn't last long in our house so when I was provided the opportunity to review GoGo Squeez applesauce pouches, I jumped at the chance - no hesitation!
