Thank you Healthy Choice for sponsoring this post. Visit your local retailer to pick up your own Healthy Choice Simply Cafe Steamer or Original Cafe Steamer meal today! Eating right all the time is hard stuff for me. There isn't a huge variety of foods I like and I have diet restrictions like being gluten free (mainly) and other food intolerances. For the most part I can eat pretty well, but I do find the occasional fried food a little too enticing and packing a lunch for work takes time that I am just okay at managing. Being around kids doesn't help things either, especially when they Keep Reading

The Simple Rule to Make That Will Make You Look Forward to Doing Laundry
The other week I wrote about how I'm trying my best to figure out better laundry systems around this place. I finally figured out a way to consolidate some of my laundry tasks, and I wrote about that here: The 3 Basket Laundry System That Saved My Sanity Now that I have that process under control, I feel like I could make even more improvements. You see, I HATE DOING LAUNDRY. It's second only to unloading the dishwasher. I really don't like doing that. :) So for the past two weeks I've been trying to figure out how I can basically have a better attitude about doing laundry, so I thought Keep Reading

How to Make Saving Money & Making Money Fun!
I often find myself worrying about money. Do you? Do you wish you could have a life where you weren’t under financial strain? I can go weeks without really worrying about our family finances, but then I realize that I’m spending too much in one area or find myself wishing I could go on a trip I can’t really afford. That’s when I realize that we’re sometimes cruising along for the ride, not really having a full picture of our finances. And then I start to get stressed about it. This stress spills over into my relationship with my husband and taints the time I spend with my kids. My Keep Reading
The 3 Basket Laundry System That Saved My Sanity (for people who have a laundry closet)
Our washer & dryer are in a closet off of our kitchen. It's truly NOT ideal for a family of five. But it's what we have, and I'm trying to make the most of it. For years I've struggled to come up with a laundry system that accommodates our lack of laundry room space, and I've not found a proper solution. Until last week, that is! I'm so excited about it, I wanted to write a quick post about how I set this up so you can do the same if you don't have a laundry room and have to basically keep your in-process laundry out in the open for the world to see.

The Stomach Bug Survival Guide – 6-Point Tactical Plan for Moms
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Nauzene Kids for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Ever since my kids were tiny, I have been concerned with giving them remedies that are natural. It was almost out of necessity at first because I noticed most children’s medicines aren’t recommended for children under 6. Six years is a long time to wait to treat a child for something when you are sure there must be a remedy out there! I was excited when Nauzene® Kids contacted me because I have been looking for a gentle, homeopathic product like theirs for quite some time! Nauzene® Kids Keep Reading
How to Connect Your Children with Family Over Long Distances
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of HomeTeam for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Do you have extended family that lives away? Or does your husband travel out of town? I fall into both of those categories. My kids and I are often too far away from loved ones to just pop on over to say hi. If we want my kids to see their grandparents, we have to plan an official trip to visit them, invite them down from Virginia to our home in North Carolina, or we have to take a trip together. I’m all the time getting jealous of my friends who have parents in town to help them with Keep Reading
Baby Changing Stations: First Time Mom vs. Mom of 2 or More Children
