I have tears streaming down my face as I write this post so please bear with me. By now you all have heard of the tragic plane crash that took the lives of OSU Women’s basketball coach and assistant coach.  I had the great honor of knowing these people. I met Coach Budke years ago [...]

It is that time of year again. Cold and Flu Season. YUCK! I don’t know about you but I like to do everything possible to keep my kids healthy through the school year. This includes washing our hands more frequently, using anti bacterial hand gel, taking more vitamin C and D, and also disinfecting the [...]

I LOVED this! My husband said it was just “ok” but I think it was because of the kale. He is not a big kale fan. We took some leftovers to the neighbors and she sent me a text today saying the soup was delicious! I already had shredded chicken in the freezer so I [...]

Today I am thankful that this little guy is talking so much now. Jake used to not speak. AT.ALL. We taught him a few signs to get him to communicate and he did not even say “Mama” until December 10th, 2010. So now to hear him talk SO MUCH just sends my heart a flutter [...]

Today I am thankful for music. Music to me is a universal language. We are all connected someway through music. Different platforms, different taste but yet they all speak to us. Music is a big part of my life and I listen to it daily. I like ALL kinds of music. ALL KINDS. If it [...]

I am a HUGE soup fan. French Onion is one of my favorites! Creamy, Warm, Comforting onions with a nice baguette and Gruyere cheese! YUM!  French Soup CAN be healthy. Use less cheese and find a whole wheat baguette or make your own!  I left out the Sherry/Port Wine because I did not have it [...]

I have to tell you that this is now one of my absolute favorite recipes. Its easy, simple, quick and down right delicious! I found this recipe on Pinterest.  I did make a few changes. I used no jalapenos because I hoped the kids would try this but they ended up not being fans of the [...]

Today I am thankful for the moon and stars.   There is nothing I enjoy more than looking up at the end of the night and seeing the stars and the moon. So beautiful. So peaceful. It is also a nice reminder at the end of the day to be thankful for all we have.

Today I am thankful for the sun. The sun may make me sweat and say ugly words about it as I am in the sweltering heat it produces, but I am thankful for it. Without the sun we would not have trees, grass, flowers, or food to eat. I love to watch the sunset and the sunrise. [...]

Today I am thankful for my home.   I may complain a bit at times about things breaking or not having more room but its ours. Its our first home. My kids are happy and safe here.

We all know and love Croc’s shoes. They are so comfortable and have fabulous designs and colors. We also know that schools and gyms are no fans of Croc’s. They do not like the simplicity of them. How the kids can slip the shoes on and off. How they can easily allow mulch or sand [...]

I had never seen them before until I went to BlogHer11. At first I thought they were a silly toy that my kids [...]
