Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
Now that we’re done with all the Christmas parties, candy, presents and extraordinary eating, it is time for me to focus a little more on getting healthy. I have jumped on the weight loss bandwagon multiple times before just to fall off again. I know that I always feel much better when I’m actively making healthier choices. Now is the time for me to regroup, gather some motivation and get
Merry Christmas!! If you’re still in need of a last minute gift, my sister came up with a great, frugal gift idea that I had to share with you. Aldi currently has their pineapples for $1.

Only 2 more days until Christmas! I get to spend today in the city. My 9 year old daughter has epilepsy and we go to the pediatric neurologist every 4 months for her check up. We never look forward to this check up, but it’s needed so that we can adjust her medications and keep her seizure free for as long as possible! On this particular trip, I promised my
Are you in need of a last minute gift idea? This one came from a friend of mine from years ago! When we were teenagers, her mom would make large batches of these and sell them at craft fairs. The pumpkin log has sense become a holiday favorite of my husband’s as well as the rest of our family, and as long as you don’t over cook them, they make
Our birthday party was a success! We used to have large birthday bashes for the children in our younger years, but as we get older and have more children, we realize that we don’t need such a big production. It only ends up being stressful and chaotic! Instead, we have a gathering at our home with close relatives (which can end up being pretty big!). My now 12 year old,
Today, 12 years ago, I was in labor, about to have my 2nd child. She was born on December 21st at 11:17 a.m. My only child out of 6 to be born in the daylight! A beautiful baby girl. She’s pictured below on the left. Having birthdays to celebrate at Christmas time can be tricky! I keep thinking we’ll celebrate a little earlier in the month, but time always gets
Welcome back to my series, “25 Days of Easy Christmas Crafts for Children”. Today’s craft was so much fun because we got to use cookie cutters and paint! What child doesn’t love using cookie cutters and paint? We still need to paint the rest of our ornaments. Because we have so many ornaments on our tree, we decided to use some as decorations on our Christmas presents. They will
Here in Kansas, we haven’t had any snow yet, but we still have 8 coats, 8+ pairs of gloves, and lots of hats that are getting scattered all over the place if we aren’t careful. Join me today at Homemakers Challenge where I’m writing about different ways to store your winter gear.

It’s official! We’re home from our week long vacation and now it’s time to hit the ground running! I have so many things that I need to do. It was nice to get away from the “To Do” list, but now it is time to get serious! There are clothes to wash, meals to plan, bags to unpack, presents to wrap, etc., etc. I’m sure you know what I’m talking
