What do you pack for your child’s school lunch? I need ideas!

Today I decided that grapes, crackers, carrots, and ranch dip might not be a delightful lunch for Madelyn to take to school every day. It’s a little boring I think. So I Googled “preschool lunch ideas” in hopes of finding a sandwich that doesn’t require jelly or meat as Madelyn’s not too fond of either..

Hurry, the Add Up the Savings Event at Kroger Family of Stores ends August 21st!

As summer winds down, it’s time to start picking up new supplies for the upcoming school year. Both of my kids had school supply lists this year that included things like tissues, hand sanitizer, copy paper, notebooks, etc.. and as I’m sure you are aware, all of those items add up. That’s why I

I’m obsessing over the Silverlake Bucket bag from The Sak but what’s up with the color? Your help please?

So for the last couple of days I’ve been totally (beyond totally) obsessed with finding a medium size handbag. Here are my requirements. It must be about 11-12″ wide, soft leather, black (or tan…), the handbag has to have an outside pocket that will hold my iPhone, not a fold over flap type closure (zipper

When a downgrade to you is an upgrade to your husband

My husband traded in his nicely equipped Volvo s60 a couple of weeks ago and got a Ford Mustang. Huh, you said? He went from a Volvo to a Ford Mustang? Yeah.. I said that too but I’ve learned in the last couple of weeks that just because I think the trade from the Volvo

Tiny “bling bling” on Old Navy jeans left me empty handed

I left Old Navy a little bummed and empty handed today. Last week I bought a pair of The Flirt Skinny Cropped Jeans (photo below) at Old Navy and when I got home and tried them on again I felt that they were a size too big – yay! I went back to Old

Motorola MJ270R Two-Way Radio review and free designer faceplate offer

Two-way radios have been around for years but up until a few years ago I didn’t feel the need to own a two-way radio. HOWEVER now, I can imagine not having two pairs of two-way radios. I know what you’re thinking.. don’t you all have cell phones? Yes, my husband and I have iPhones

Worry, worry.. for no reason apparently

I was a wreck yesterday (Monday) and this morning (Tuesday). Besides recuperating from a busy July 4th, I had a couple of things on my mind. First, I was nervous about Sebastian starting a new camp today, his first day at Camp Kingfisher at Chattahoochee Nature Center which I know he loves because he went last year and

3 comfy & sexy dresses for moms

Having two kids has left me with a body that I don’t feel great about which is why it’s important for me to try to look good even if I know I’m going to be at home all day. I work from home (most of the time) and as tempting as it is to stay

Jiffy Lube “Keeping My Ride Alive” and a $35 gift card giveaway

You are a smart mom.. I just know it! Something that most smart moms do is save money and spend wisely. One way to save money is to keep your ride alive for 150,000.. even 250,000 miles. The best way to do that is to keep your car maintained. Ok, so I haven’t kept a car older 60,000 miles in the 20 years I’ve been a car owner but believe you me.. I’ve learned my lesson and I’d love to try!
