Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
This past week was one of those whirlwind experiences. Totally unexpected, but very slow moving whirlwind. When I say slow moving, I’m talking 9 nights in the hospital slow. Yes, nine! Seven of those were in the PICU. I don’t know if you follow me on Facebook or not. If you don’t, you don’t know much of my story of this past week. If you do, you’ve probably heard bits and

She’s having to be on continuous breathing treatment in the PICU, where they give her albuterol, steroids and regular chest percussion treatment
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cutter® Insect Repellents. We love summer! Don’t you? There’s so many fun things to do in the summer time, that you can’t do the rest of the year. Things like riding tricycles… and blowing bubbles! But sometimes, there’s some things in summer that suck the fun right out of it. (Hint: That’s why we call them Funsuckers!)
I’m a mom of 7 children, and I realize just how much money it costs to clothe them! We don’t have to buy used, but we choose to on many occasions, just because I prefer the styles of clothes I can afford to get when they’re preowned. We’ve spent the past 18 years being frugal, especially in the clothing department and have learned that the best way to keep our
Several years ago, before I knew much about easy crockpot meals, when I was a young married woman, I would fix my husband spaghetti every week. I thought it was no.big.deal because I LOVED spaghetti. My husband…not so much. He’d complain and say, “Spaghetti again?” or say he was already too full and then make a peanut butter and jelly on the side. Luckily for him, I didn’t take it too personally
#Refuel2Go #CollectiveBias Because we’ve had some medical issues in the recent past, it seems like we’re traveling to doctor’s visits with specialists on a regular basis. I am traveling for 2 hours each way without stopping, and sometimes, I get tired and hungry. Imagine that, right? I usually feel the need to refuel, but I don’t want to stop on the way or the rest of my brood gets a
You know I’m a procrastinator, right? Throw a baby into my mix and suddenly I’m an ultra extreme procrastinator! I have to have my teens help me keep up. Either they’re watching the kids for me or they’re helping me clean. It’s OK though, it doesn’t hurt them to work (and I let them get out plenty, believe me!). But, I do get sick of seeing my messes, even though
I didn’t talk about it while we were in the midst of it. Frankly, I wasn’t ready to. I was scared. I gave birth to Baby Quinnly on March 13th and the next month, several members of my family had contracted whooping cough. I knew little about the disease, but I knew that if they vaccinated against it, it was probably not a pleasant experience. And believe me, when I say it

Here’s something you probably don’t know about me. I love everything patriotic. Yep, it’s true! I have some patriotic decor in my house. I have a few different Old Navy flag t-shirts that I’ve literally worn out, too. One of my kids has worn the same red, white and blue overalls every year for years on the 4th of July, just because I love the colors and the tradition. We
Do you like bread as much as I do? I’ve seen the 7-up Biscuits recipe floating around Pinterest for a while now and was always intrigued to give them a try. My friend Holly took the challenge and sent me these pictures, raving about them! She said they’re really easy to make in a jiffy and there’s no need to let them rise. I just happen to be a
Are you one that likes to buy big presents for Father’s Day or just let the kids make their dad something special? Or maybe you do a little bit of both? Let the kids make something and you buy something? I’ve got mixed feelings. Father’s day is kind of like Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. One of those “holidays” where it’s nice to honor someone, but it kind of
