Overcoming Disaster and Dirty Diapers
Pregnancy can be both a boon and a curse to your skin and daily routine. While you get that great glow and shiny hair, there’s also a lot of stretching and hormones going on that might cause some concerns. A lot of the products you might reach for any other time in your life could actually be unsafe to use while you’ve got a bun in the oven. Here are…Read More
With summer camp ramping up it’s always important to make a list of items your child will need to take with them. Always plan for enough items for however long your child is staying and what activities they are participating in. For example at Camp Wood YMCA they have horseback riding available during various camps. In order to ride you must wear long pants and wear closed toe shoes. Always…Read More
If you are family or friends you know of my love for barbecue, grits, and comfort food. I look forward to summer because summer = BBQ. I wish I had the space for a grill because if I did I know I would grill every day. Sadly that isn’t the case. I need my barbeque fix, and I think I found the best spot for delicious barbeque in Pittsburg, KS.…Read More

Yesterday on May 22 marked the second year anniversary of the Joplin tornado. When we arrived to the anniversary last year it felt like not that much time has past since I nearly lost my life. This year it felt like much time time has past. I think that’s a good thing. Last year I was blubbering mess. This year: not so much. I think that means I’m finally getting away from…Read More

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Collective Bias® and Tyson. All thoughts & opinions expressed are of my own. As a busy mom with a busy toddler I find that making a home cooked meal, most days, is a challenge in itself. Almost all of Leo’s meals are different from what I cook my husband because, surprise, Leo is a super picky eater. I will admit whenever I have an opportunity…Read More
It’s been no surprise around my house how much I loathe diaper changes lately (read: all the time). Don’t get me wrong: I love my son to pieces. My son happens to have a knack for being the equivalent of a hurricane. Or is that most 16 month toddlers are? If you’re a mom of a wiggly kid you know how difficult diaper changes can be. Leo has this newfound…Read More
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dollar General. All opinions are 100% mine. Did you know Dollar General has more to offer than home cleaning products, grocery stables, and craft items? I've been impressed lately with their product selection, but I was unaware of their apparel selection. That's right: clothing. I was quite surprised at their selection of clothing for the entire family. You can…Read More
Are you pregnant and was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes? You might be like I was and have a lot of questions including “What do I do next?” Don’t panic. Trust me, I understand it’s hard not to panic but you need to focus on getting your blood sugar under control. Gestational Diabetes is not an automatic sentence to a c-section, insulin injections, or major complications for you or your baby.…Read More
Since becoming a mom I’ve had to completely change how I play games. Sure, a couple hours playing Final Fantasy would tickle my fancy but I just don’t have the time anymore. With a toddler that’s learned how to climb on everything he can that makes concentrating on a serious game nearly impossible. Gone are the days of spending countless hours leveling up an Int/Dex Priestess on Ragnarok Online. Gone…Read More
