Play doctor with #DocMcStuffins -Download fun activity sheets!

2013-05-14T00:00:00.000-04:00

Okay, my Doc McStuffins fans, don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you. You may have seen the awesome Disney Planes activity sheets I put up the other day and thought, what about little Doc McStuffins? I've got your fix here. LOL, I recently realized I'm quite the cool aunt since I know all the Disney characters. We were at family dinner and I had just handed a little pirate bandana to my nephew when his dad started bringing up Disney Junior's pirate show. Of course, being the Disney lover that I am, I knew and responded, Jake and the Never Land Pirates, right? Spot on!

How to deal with menstrual pains naturally

2013-05-13T00:00:00.000-04:00

Guys be warned, this is a womanly topic. Or if you want to wow your lady, brace yourself and read on. I'm just messing with you. It's not that bad. It's probably not in your comfort zone but if you've been with your lady long enough, it just may be...barely touching your comfort zone.

Did you know I've always wanted to learn how to fly a plane? Now after running into a few coworkers and family members who have or are doing it, it makes me want to do it even more! Think Dusty will give me a lesson or two if I pass his coloring and connect the dots quizzes? Teehee! Alright, it'd be nice but these activity sheets are pretty awesome just on their own too.

It's the Fast Metabolism Diet Program. The creator, Haylie Pomroy, has been touted to have helped thousands of clients lose up to 20 pounds in just four weeks and psst, they get to eat...LOTS!

2013-04-29T23:50:00.000-04:00

I love my Woolzies, they're what I turn to when I do my laundry. The only thing I have trouble with is the pups thinking they're their toys! Once I regain possession of my Woolzies though, they do a great job saving me time and money with my clothes drying. So this week's Mission Giveaway brings you a little closer to that eco-friendly lifestyle that also saves you $$$!

#MagicPrints and more #Hallmark choices for #MothersDay #GiftGuide US 5/4

2013-04-24T00:00:00.000-04:00

Now that I've got a great gift for Mother's Day, I have a dilemma with Mother's Day cards. Why? Because I now also have a great assortment of cards to go with it and it's just so hard to choose! Hallmark has some fab Mother's Day cards this year and some of them incorporate their new product, Magic Prints. I fell in love with them and I may just have the pups make me a Mother's Day gift from it.

Saving money on spring cleaning #springcleaning US 05/06

2013-04-22T00:00:00.000-04:00

With Spring comes a part I’ve never liked...it is what’s known as Spring Cleaning. Added to that, I’m moving so it’s even more cleaning and effort than I’d like. The amount of laundry seems never ending and the neighbors often see me lugging 3 bagfuls of laundry to the laundry room. Added to that is my trusty Tide bottle. By itself, it’s fine but when I’m also trying to maneuver 3 full bags of laundry, it gets tough.

Great downloadable kids activities for Earth Day! #EarthDay

My favorite #history film of 2012...#Dreamworks #Lincoln

2013-04-18T00:30:00.000-04:00

I now have a movie that depicts fascinating history in my own hands. Yes, it was interesting. Seemingly perfect was the trailer for War Horse as the preview to the movie. I bawled in War Horse, another moving film based off a true story. I actually bawled so much, people on the plane started staring at me wondering what was wrong. I bawled again when I watched it with the hubby. That just goes to say how much Steven Spielberg can move the soul.
