Our little family spent 8 years living in the Dallas, Texas area, and Hubby was born and raised there, but somehow, our oldest never really cared about location but more about talent, good role models, and of course, his favorite colors. When he was 5, he decided that his team would be the Seattle Seahawks and that year, they won the Super Bowl, so of COURSE he was a fan for life! He has been a dedicated fan since then, wearing Seahawks apparel even when there was no other Seahawks fan in sight.View Post

Winter Crafts for Kids!

While I am definitely a fall lover, there is something about winter that I just love, too. After the holidays are over there is a quiet (or not so quiet if you have kids at home!) that is so peaceful about winter. Whether you have snow or live in Texas like me and rarely see the white stuff, winter is beautiful. There is also a lot of indoor downtime with the shorter days and colder weather. These winter crafts for kids will help your kids to be creative, decorate the house, and spend quality time together as a family!View Post

USO Wishbook – Support our Troops by Gifting the Comforts of Home

support the troops at Christmas time

“USO Wishbook – Support our Troops by Gifting the Comforts of Home” was sponsored by the USO. All opinions are my own.

I am guilty of focusing on only what is right in front of me, which is common for busy parents, isn’t it? I sometimes forget about the service members who are dedicating their time and lives to protect our country. Hundreds of thousands of service members will remain on duty, away from home, this holiday season. So how do we give to those who are giving their all for our country? The USO Wishbook is a great place to start if you want to support troops around the world!View Post

Hallmark Channel’s Premiere of “A Christmas Duet” – brought to you by Hallmark Channel

When I was a kid, Christmas was IT for me. I thought of Christmas all throughout the year, wanted to decorate early (and make my wish list, of course!) I loved Christmas. There is something about having kids, however, that always takes things to a new level. My boys love Christmas time, and while they are not always eager to listen to Christmas music, they love decorating, making Christmas cookies, going to Christmas parties, buying and wrapping gifts and of course, opening gifts on Christmas morning.

25+ Gifts for Adults who Love Disney!

25+ Gifts for Adults who Love Disney!

As a child, I was never a *true* fan of Disney. I know, that is both tragic and sad, but I was in love with other things and did not truly become a Disney fan until adulthood. Sure, I watched “The Little Mermaid” in the theater and had seen Disney World advertised on TV, but never knew what I was missing. This allowed me to explore the World of Disney as an adult, and it was a magical experience when we finally took our family to Disney World…twice! And while we don’t have any active plans on when we might return to the happiest place on earth, the Disney love is all around! (I’m excited about Frozen 2 while the men of the house can’t wait for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.) But, if you have a Disney lover on your shopping list this holiday season, what do you get for them?

As much as I hate to admit it, I have never been big on exercise.  I love playing basketball and soccer with the boys, going for a bike ride, or just a walk with the little one to the park, but as much as I want to, I just never seem to have enough motivation to start exercising regularly.

As I get older though, I am realizing how important it is to stay active, and I am trying hard not to take these years for granted.  It is so important to keep our bodies healthy and active, but what is the best fitness motivation?
