Google's December Easter Egg

2011-12-18T17:11:00.001-06:00

Ihave to say Google is my number one search engine. It's just what I type in, my fingers are programmed. We say "Google It" quite often too. I can remember the time when I first started using google, before that I used nothing but yahoo. In high school we had an Internet class and we were taught to use Yahoo as a search engine, so I did and got stuck. Then I met my hubby in college and he types

The Mom behind her Home: Luci Lampe 2011 HomeMomGiftGuide

2011-12-01T06:00:00.000-06:00

The Mom Behind Her Home is a amazing series where I get to showcase a Mom who needs more support or awareness. Today I'll be combining the series with my HomeMomGiftGuide because sometimes it's better to give than receive. I'm adding a Mother whom I personally got to know a few years ago before she moved to Nashville to pursue her dreams. Her name is Luci Lampe and she needs our help. Luci,

Ecobubs Fan Giveaway2011 HomeMomGiftGuide

2011-11-29T15:56:00.001-06:00

Prize: Ecobubs Diaper and T I'm a huge fan of cloth diapers. I'm an even huger fan of wool. I just found a company that makes a wool blend diaper that, get this, requires ZERO Lanolizing. Lanolin is a substance naturally secreted by animals such as sheep. It has properties that are helpful to the animal to keep it water and dirt repellent, cool, warm, and protected from it's climate and

Necklush Winter Sweepstakes 2011 HomMomGiftGuide

2011-11-24T06:06:00.001-06:00

This year I'll be doing the HomeMomGiftGuide a bit different. Instead of one post with my Holiday Gift faves I'll post several posts independent of each other in a series. So first up is a lovely scarf/necklace fashion piece. I actually came across it a few years ago when I first discovered Etsy's wonderful handmade goodness. I might have been on a huge t-shirt upcycle kick, looking up all things

The Well Planned Day Planner

2011-11-23T03:04:00.000-06:00

Future Home-Schooling Posts will be at: BIG Homeschoolers If you fail to Plan, you plan to fail. I've searched and searched for the author of this quote with several names that came up. Whom ever said this was brilliant. It's so true too. You can't go very far without a plan of action. As a homeschooling parent this is the one area I really do struggle with. I'm no where near perfect but

Home-Mom in Heelys (video) 2011 HomeMomGiftGuide

2011-11-21T15:28:00.000-06:00

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Heelys? Kids, Teens, skates, FALLING. I was given a unique opportunity to review a pair of Heelys of my choice. I chose these cuties you see just below, so right of the bat I'm stepping out of my comfort zone. Growing up I tried to be as non girly as possible. But now that I'm older and a mom of 2 girls I've started to embrace more pink.

HomeSchool Support Groups & Co-ops

2011-11-21T07:30:00.001-06:00

We have been a homeschooling family for five years now. Gosh that sounds ancient but I still feel like a newbie at times. Especially when I know I'm not 100% qualified to teach every subject. However I am 100% qualified by the love I have for my kids, who better motivated to get it right than I? My number one fear or concern with homeschooling has always been "Can I really do this?" I just

A Reusable bag to Remember Bagnetic *Giveaway

2011-11-14T08:56:00.000-06:00

I'd like to introduce you to a new reusable bag! I promised I'd start focusing my reviews on services and products that directly deal with the Mom at Home. This product comes form a company who found a solution to the problems that most Shoppers (mostly made up of Moms) face with their reusable grocery bags. With everyone going Green there has been a rise in reusables. Stores offer their own

Home-Mom's Future Direction

2011-11-07T10:48:00.000-06:00

This is a time of reflection for Home-Mom. In the beginning I wanted a place to call home, the blogosphere is ginormous. I thought it'd be neat to start a blog to track my homeschooling journey, recipes, cloth diapers, giveaways, reviews, tutorials, crafts, business endeavors.... my life. I think it's time to hone on what I really enjoy writing about instead of trying to capture it all. I'm a

DivaCup: Review and Giveaway Cutting Waste and $aving Money, One Month at a Time

2011-10-17T12:48:00.000-05:00

II wrote about the idea of reusable feminine products before. Sounds interesting right? If you've made any attempt to 'Go Green' in any aspect then hear me out. In the grocery stores you see the switch being made from plastic to canvas. At the dealerships more and more car models have gone electric or hybrid. Appliances are more energy efficient. We can save paper by viewing statements and paying

Meet Gymbella! HomeFitness Reviewed

2011-10-10T18:21:00.000-05:00

Now that I've gotten my head about my health I've decided to blog all Fitness and Health Reviews at Gymbella.blogspot.com. I have over 70lbs to lose (at least I think I do) and really want to make sure I document it well. Progression pics, daily tweeting and blogging, challenge steps, the works. Need some motivation? Seeing others do what I need to do always motivates me, let Gymberella be that

#HomeMomHealth: Reboot Juice Fast

2011-10-09T13:44:00.001-05:00

Rebooting my life, Today! I can't waist anymore time. I'm feeling urgent pressure, not from anyone but that I have to lose my extra weight and do it quick. Almost like an internal ticking. I feel anxious. My weight has caused me some small but ill effects. Spine misalignment, hiatal hernia, and joint pain. It's very scary that this list could be bigger, these are only things I can physically feel

The Mom Behind Her Home: JulieBGreen's Plush Pals Review

2011-09-21T07:38:00.001-05:00

My littlest man loves his new toy. This is Jake (formerly known as Jack). Hes soft, cuddly, and likes long jumps by the pond. You'd think he'd like to eat flies, but instead he enjoys fruit smoothies with spinach. No seriously they are GOOD. Beginning with this review I'd like to share more than just about the great products I purchase or receive but more about the moms behind their homes.

Carmex: New Vanilla & Lime Twist *Giveaway Closed

2011-09-12T09:11:00.000-05:00

As a member of Carmex's Blog Squad, a blogger outreach group. I was given all that you see below! Pretty neat huh? What wasn't so neat was the state I found my new goodies in once I opened the package. With heat temperatures reaching as high as 115°F this summer my new purse buddies just couldn't keep their cool. My Kit Included: 1 Carmex Moisture Plus™ Clear lip balm - 1 Carmex Vanilla Stick

I'm bringing my Before-Baby-Body Back!

2011-09-05T13:56:00.001-05:00

Yep! I wanted to title this post 'I'm bring sexy back'. In my opinion they're two in the same. Why as women are we so secretive about our weight and age? I never did get that. The only reason it makes sense to me is if women are hiding behind poor decisions maybe. I mean I was 20 something before, the choices I made then are catching up to me now. I drank and partied too much in college when I

Oh Happy SITS Day!

2011-08-29T22:01:00.000-05:00

Well hello there! Come on in, we're having a HOUSE Party today. I'm glad I didn't fully pack up all the party decorations from the blogiversary a few months back. Oldies and newbies alike, WELCOME to my Home! I've been scurrying around trying to clean up and make things more presentable. Just for fun, I've got a question for you. Raise your mouse if you've ever hidden dirty dishes in the oven.

It's been forever since my last hop...

2011-08-29T19:33:00.000-05:00

Sounds very confessional. Well from a former craft and blog hop host it feels like the past few months have been years. I'm back to hoping and I know why I loved it so much. Connecting with other bloggers is fun. I've met a new bloggy friend. We just happen to be doing the same workout challenge with Lindsay Brin's moms into fitness and decided we needed to blog together as accountability
