As you know, we love H-E-B.  Not that we needed another reason to love this store, but here’s another one:  the H-E-Buddy Summer Reading Club.  The love of reading isn’t an issue in my house yet.  The boys love to listen to books and the Captain is beginning to read a bit on his own. …

Everyone knows that Hallmark makes the most adorable and biggest variety of cards for any occasion.  But before you just get a Hallmark card for Dad this Father’s Day, consider the many other great gifts you can get at Hallmark for Dad!  We were sent a couple of GREAT gifts that Dad can enjoy with …

Do I look before I leap?  OH yes.  And when there is a lot of time to look before leaping, I overlook!  My mom used to tell me that I was going to develop an ulcer from worrying too much.  I was so deathly afraid of tornadoes when I was a child, that if I …

I love when I get a brilliant idea, whether it be a new blog post, a new way of organizing our toys, or even a new recipe.  But, one of my top annoyances is unfinished projects.  I know, many of you wouldn’t believe it if you know me in real life because there’s usually a …

I’ve been thinking about BlogHer’s NaBloPoMo assignment all day – “What is something you recently jumped into?”  Hmm…well, I jumped into parenting about 3 1/2 years ago.  I jumped into blogging April of 2011.  And, I’m about to jump into being 30.  Some things I jump into voluntarily and some, I go kicking and screaming. …

Memorial Day is a vacation for many US citizens.  It’s a day to head out to the lake, go fishing, have a bbq, or whatever, but let’s not forget what it’s all about!  Did you know that Memorial Day was originally called “Decoration Day” and it was created to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of …

First things first…I was NOT paid by HEB to write this post.  I just discovered my love for HEB and I wanted to share it with you!  I have always been a shopper of a well known store but recently, I find myself going to HEB every week and “other” stores less frequently.  Take a …

There haven’t been many shows that I’ve become attached to.  Sure there was “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” when I was younger, (don’t hate!  it was good!)  “Friends,” and a few other less memorable ones along the way, but “House” has been my favorite show for a long time.  And now, it’s gone.  It gave me …

It’s already 91 degrees here in Texas.  It’s HOT, and since it’s only May, it’s definitely guaranteed to get much hotter.  We have a kiddie pool, but we don’t keep it filled up because it’s not safe for either the Captain, who is three, or Baby D, who is one.  If they go outside alone, …
