Lego to the Rescue

With six sons, I’m sure it comes as no surprise to any of you that my sons adore LEGOs® of any kind. We have purchased, lost and stepped on more LEGOs® than I can even begin to count (seriously!). So, when I was contacted about a Official LEGO® Channel, I was intrigued. I am absolutely NOT [...]

Rascal Flatts – Changed

Rascal Flatts Changed

In this household you will hear many many genres of music. I love music and definitely listen to different styles depending on my mood. My guys on the other hand seem particularly drawn to country music, so when I heard about Rascal Flatts’ new release Changed, I knew I had to get in on that [...]

Movie nights are much anticipated events around here, especially new releases they haven’t seen before. Since movie night is often on a weekend, the pre-movie meal will commonly be pizza and chocolate milk (something that was basically a tradition for me growing up), so keeping snacks fun but also healthy is always at the forefront of [...]

Because not every summer day will be nice, it’s just a basic fact that I’ll have to plan many indoor activities to get us through the summer as well. So, the timing of the Redbox Summer of Fun & Games Sweepstakes couldn’t be better! To celebrate summer fun, Redbox is asking moms, “What’s your family’s [...]

Tech Corner – Preschool Storytime Apps

From the moment a child is born it seems we’re inundated with information on the importance of reading to our child. One of the greatest things I have found recently with my iPad is that you can take storytime to a whole new level! Also, when using the iPad to read to the littlest boys [...]

Snow Days and Exploding Stuffies

Snow. It’s the one thing that can make life as we know it completely come to a screeching halt. After a long four day weekend for the children, everyone was gearing up for a short 4 day week. But it was not to be. Although school was in session on Tuesday, with the exception of [...]

Imagination Movers Big Warehouse Tour

Imagination Movers

When I was contacted about the Imagination Movers going on tour around the country I think I held my breath just a little. Ok so I’m making it a tad dramatic, but my 5 year old twins LOVE them and I know that it would be an amazing and memorable event for the twinkies to [...]

Flipboard: Possibly the Best App Ever

This year I received an iPad for Christmas. For a uber frugal mom that also happens to be a tech lover like me it was such a wonderful and indulgent surprise. In the few days I have owned it, not terribly surprisingly it has become much more frequently used than my computer. I am, of [...]

Cuz Sometimes Life Is A Little Crazy

Last week was an adventurous one around here. Most of the kiddos were spread out here and there. One was at camp, two of them with one set of grandparents and two more with another set of grandparents. CJ was the only one home most of the week, but there was a reason. I went [...]
