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

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

Remembering the Joplin Tornado

Desiree Morris — Thu, 23 May 2013 14:26:34 +0000

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

New HUGGIES Little Movers Slip-On Diapers #FirstFit

Desiree Morris — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 04:03:26 +0000

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

Favorite Casual Games for Moms (Like Me)

Desiree Morris — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 16:03:08 +0000

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

Waiting for the arrival of your little one you might have heard of stories of how mothers immediately fall in love with their children as soon as they see them.
