Thank you Idahoan® Steakhouse® Soups for sponsoring this post. Treat your SOUP-er significant other to a delicious meal! Date nights are few and far between for my husband and me. Just getting a baby-sitter is hard enough, but then we have to orchestrate where we can go in what amount of time to make getting a baby-sitter even worth it. It is really too much work sometimes!

Okay, okay, I KNOW...football season is officially over. The Super Bowl happened and so now we need to move on to other sports. When my 3rd grade son brought home a paper that said that he needed to make a valentine box for their Valentine's Day party, I knew exactly what my sports loving son would love to do. And honestly, getting kids excited about their projects is half of the battle. I figured out long ago that if you give kids a choice View Post
See this little angel? This four-year-old, precious boy whom I love very much loves to go shopping with his mommy. Until he doesn't. I go shopping at least once a week. I try to cook most nights, we love fresh fruits and veggies, and sometimes getting out of the house is a breath of fresh air for this work at home mom. The four year old goes to school only 7 1/2 hours a week, so that means that he usually comes with me to the store and View Post
I have been compensated by JOHNSON'S® Baby for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own. The holidays are over and it's back to life, back to reality! With crazy schedules, illness, and delayed bedtimes, I admit that my kids took far fewer baths that the needed to. Some days it was just carrying them from the car to the bed because they fell asleep on the way home from wherever we were. It is time to View Post
It is February and I could NOT be happier. January was just so extremely sloooow. Why is that? Either way, February is here and it will be Valentine's Day before we know it! If you are a fan of Hallmark Channel Christmas movies, you cannot miss the Valentine's Day movies! This post was brought to you by Hallmark Channel, but all opinions are mine. Tune into the Hallmark Channel on Saturday, February 3rd at 9/8 central for the premiere View Post
While my kids love pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs, the meal that they ALWAYS devour and ALWAYS eat leftover is lasagna. I always make a big pan of it because they eat it well and there are different ways to make it more healthy. When I started avoiding gluten and now that we are on a healthier eating plan, when I make lasagna for the boys, I make instant pot zucchini lasagna for us! It is SO delicious and the zucchini is a great substitute View Post
One of the hottest new trends is the galaxy theme. There is something so fascinating about the blue, purple, black, and white colors all swirled together. And add in a few sparkles or bursts of white and it's simply captivating! If you love galaxies and stars, this is the collection for you. These tutorials are easy to follow and even the beginner can pull it off. View Post
This winter has really been hard on many people, as far as illnesses are concerned. Our family has been spared for the most part, but we are always on guard and doing what we can to keep the germs away. How do you boost your immune system to ensure that it can fight illnesses? Thanks to Sambucol and The Motherhood, who brought you this post, but opinions are mine. Sambucol Black Elderberry is a dietary supplement and is not intended to View Post
I have fond memories of my mother making homemade donuts when I was a child. She did not make them often, but when she did, it was a big deal! She used canned biscuit dough and fried up a big batch for us to enjoy. Since I have been obsessed with making new things in my air fryer lately, (like these pop tarts and breakfast pockets) I wanted to make a sweet treat for the boys with these easy air fryer donuts.

If there is one show we can all agree on, it's The Lion Guard. We were sent a free copy of the latest DVD release, The Rise Of Scar, and to celebrate, I have searched for the best recipes, crafts, decorations, and more to throw the most awesome Lion Guard party ever! View Post
