I asked myself this question several times this past month. And it's probably in the same way most moms think of failing. Am I juggling enough? I complain to other moms of all the running I have to do, plus kid activities and personal ventures. However, to really stop and think, I don't have anything on my plate. My evening are typically pretty low key, filled with homework, chores and dinner.

Oh the joys of being a mommy, they do surpass the stress. I love watching each child with experiencing new things and try their hardest in those situations. And the journey of getting to where they will one day be on their own, is filled with amazement and wonder.......  With that said...... Wow! It has been a long month of basketball practices and games! I truly do admire Lmnhead

This review is my personal opinion of the products I tested for the stated company. I was not paid or compensated for this review.   First I want to tell you a little about this company and their products. Bam Bath Co. is a Colorado based company, which means it's local for me! It is ran by a young lady, who decided she needed to help her growing family with some sort of income.

Another year is coming to an end. And I have to say, THANK THE LORD! I am so over this year and the crazy it has brought on us. We've moved, changed the kids school and started new endeavors, all of which threw our organized chaos into a whirl wind. And don't get me started on the health curve balls and financial pits we dug. But here is to a new year, new stories, new adventures and new

Well again I was on hiatus. This time my days were filled with morning sickness and back pain. But after a long 9 months, we have a beautiful baby girl! On January 6th we welcomed Isabella Jean to our crazy chaotic family. She fits right in with the other crazies in the house already. My three older kids are so loving and extra helpful, usually too helpful. Kid #3, Parker, was very confused when

Time has officially ran me over! Summer is half over and Christmas will be here before I know it. It's the getting older thing, isn't it? Since so much time has past since the last time I wrote, I better catch you up on all the crazy things that have been going on. I should start from the last post made, however, I don't think, I know, not all of it is still in my brain. We will start

Recently was given the opportunity to try out the Dermagist line of skin care. I received the  Ultimate Clarifying System, which helps with acne prone skin types. I have battled acne since I was a child and it still plagues me in my adult hood. I have tried a multitude of products over the years and many unusual processes of cleansing and such. When I

I, like most of my readers, am a very busy mom. We are constantly on the go with school, practice, shopping, etc.. With being busy, comes quick snacks and eating on the go. As much as I would love to sit here and tell you that I make sure my kids don't get sugary snacks and junk food, I would be struck by lighting at the very thought of putting those words as truth. I have carrots,

This post brought to you by Famous Footwear. All opinions are 100% mine. Are you ready for school to start? Mentally yes! I am so very ready for the kids to go back to school. My oldest is now is in 2nd grade, my daughter is starting Kindergarten this year and my youngest is starting preschool. But with school come shopping....and normally I would be excited for this, too. But the kids had

School is out, kids are home and my hair is falling out in clumps.......ok not soooo much clumps, but you get the drift. On top of all the fun things I am coming up with to keep the kids busy (and out of my bubble) I also have several events that I am involved with this summer. I know, I know....I'm crazy what else can I say :) I have compiled a few recipes that I am going to

Apple Cinnamon Croissant things.... Fresh fruit in my house is either gone the same day it comes home, or never leaves the basket on my table. So when I spotted my very, very ripe bananas this morning, I immediately reached for my flour, eggs and other banana bread items. And then I seen it.....the poor apples that we all had every intention of enjoying....soft and ready to be tossed

"Don't you mean 'Baby Shower'?" NO! Mommy shower is correct. Since the baby hasn't come yet, we are going to shower MOM with gifts! And I'm sure you are asking yourself "Why all the baby/mommy talk?" :) No I'm not having anymore crazies! I am soooo done with having kids. I have a shower to plan for a friend of mine that is already a mom, but, could use some extras. So for the next few weeks I

I'M BAAAACK!!! Over the last year a lot of things have changed and then changed again. I went back to work full time, out of the house, and now I'm back as a SAHM! Which makes me extremely happy and stressed at the same time...We recently moved to a large house, with a bedroom for each kid, a huge backyard and plenty of space for all of us to spread out. The move has taken most of my time for

Spring has sprung and it's time to do some cleaning, repairing and maybe even some renovating!    We just moved into a very large house, that is slightly outdated....OK, so it still has most of the same fixtures from the '70s ( and a rod iron banister to match). In March we moved in and I've been

This guest post from Edgardo Rosa I have a little bit of a problem thinking that I am capable of things that I am most definitely not. I am aware of this shortcoming, and I’m working on it. Case in point: I watch Martha Stewart holiday specials. I then attempt to recreate things that Martha makes on her show. This is not a good idea for me. I don’t possess the necessary skillset to make any

This guest post from Lewis Beck I finally moved! I have been talking about moving for months, perhaps even years. I hated my old place. I hated the neighbors and the complex. It was not the right fit for me and I needed to move much sooner than I did. However, I am finally in a place I like. All of the boxes are in the correct rooms and ready to be unpacked. I have looked into satellite
