Living life to the fullest and loving it!
*I was compensated for this post in exchange for my honest review/opinion* Picky eaters...can they be inspired to eat and ENJOY it?? Sure they can...and here's how: In our house...the boys LOVE Tyson Chicken Nuggets. Well, let's start with that. I made a quick shopping trip to Walmart to purchase the nuggets as well as a few other things I think we'll need to start the fun! (You can see my shopping trip HERE) I KNOW that they'll eat the nuggets...but, how can I get … [Read more...]
So...you like the way those Brownie Pops look...do you?? Let me tell you how they came about and how YOU can make them too! Football is over....it's basketball's time to reign (Thank goodness...it's my FAVORITE!) With college basketball playoffs going on, it was the PERFECT time to say, "honey...I NEED to go to the store and grab a few items for a little PARTY!". OK...we're kind of basketball nuts in this house! My hubby played in high school and college (I … [Read more...]
Can you believe all the snow we've been getting? OK, well...in northern Nevada...it's a WEE bit chilly here! With weather like this...I just want to snuggle in my sweatpants by the fire and watch movies...while holding down the couch and eating something yummy. and that's JUST what we decided to do! After waiting for the sun to come out (along with the snow plows), I made a quick trip to Wal-mart to get a few necessities. While at Wal-mart, I discovered the MOST awesome coupon … [Read more...]
Tis the season for holiday get togethers...and whether you live near your family or you get to spend time with close friends, it doesn't have to break the bank OR be stressful to host those dear to you this holiday. First...decide a theme. Are you going to be "kid friendly", "adult only", full buffet, appetizers, dessert table. I personally LOVE the ever easy KID dessert table. Adults will be at our get together, but making everything bright colored and easy to make and eat is SO MUCH … [Read more...]
This has been one CRAZY week... There have been fundraisers to volunteer for, costumes to sew, doctors appointments, Indian longhouse project... and then...as if the clouds had passed and the rays of sunshine started to beat down upon me... I looked at kid's school calendar... and there it was.... The break in the middle of the week that we ALL needed! EARLY RELEASE DAY on Wednesday!

My shopping partner, Isaac, and I recently made a trip to Savemart to purchase goodies for our Angry Birds Game Night. I know what you're thinking...how can I possibly get any shopping done with such cuteness along for the ride?? I assure you that I can maneuver my shopping cart, search for his favorite videos on my cell phone, while equally munching on his sweet neck! OK...enough of the cuteness...we're talking today about ANGRY BIRDS! It's Forced Family Fun Night tonight in our … [Read more...]
Have you ever heard of a Progressive Dinner? You know, where you start with an appetizer at one person's house, then...head on over to another person's house for an entree, and keep going house to house until you're stuffed and finishing off an AMAZING night of food! Well, with a little help from Smart and Final, we're going to have a little Online Progressive Dinner! I took a shopping trip to Smart and Final to get the ingredients that I would need for chicken parmesan tenders. … [Read more...]
It's MONDAY night Football... I knew it was coming. I knew the guys would be eating JUNK. PURE-T-Junk (said in my sweetest southern accent). With this futuristic knowledge that I so possess, I took it upon myself to help them limit the pounds they would pack on while mindless eating during the game. The little guys and I took a little trip to Walmart where we had a list in hand and were on an adventure. My thought for the night was to make an Avocado Ranch dip and fresh veggies … [Read more...]
AHH...what a CRAZY summer! With all the preparation of getting kids ready for BACK to SCHOOL, my hubby traveling more often than usual, and overall mass chaos surrounding us....I thought it was time for a FORCED FAMILY FUN NIGHT!! On a recent shopping trip to Walmart...I was inspired. With the start of football season, why not have a Fantasy Football Party to celebrate the start of football season (and school starting!!!). Not only were there SNICKERS® Brand NFL Minis … [Read more...]
I am SO tired from our trip back east, but that didn't stop us from heading over to the CA State Fair in Sacramento last weekend! From the moment we entered the gates, Eli was in AWE! The day started off in the low 70s, the crowds weren't out yet, and we were on an adventure! There were just SO many smells to take in, games to look at, food to drool over! If it can be fried...it was there! As we made our way through the food vendors and then through the kid ride section … [Read more...]
