This light-hearted post addresses the serious topic of long term care and was inspired by Genworth Financial as part of a campaign with Brandfluential. My husband and I often joke about getting older. And the jokes are usually tasteless and include the word diaper and a question about who will be stuck changing them. We still [...]
The products in this article were provided by Kenmore to facilitate my review. A few years ago, when front-load washers were all the rage, I got a bright, shiny, red washer and dryer set. I was so excited by that new front loader and it’s mate that I used it for a long time before [...]
The product in this article was provided by mophie to facilitate my review. Around here we are always on devices. Part of the problem is that my husband and I work from home and there isn’t a clear cut-off when work ends and home begins. The other part of the problem is that when we [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cooper Tire for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Have you ever taken a road trip? I’ve taken a few in my life, but the most memorable was in May 2001 when my husband and I drove from Illinois to California. It was a [...]
My son has recently discovered Skylanders Giants and although he doesn’t know a whole lot about them yet, he is a big fan. He is drawn to all of the toys and the Mega Bloks® Skylanders Giants™ Zeppelin Air Ship Assault toy is no exception. We received the 133 piece toy and my son immediately [...]
I’m going to tell you a little story. A story starring 2 children I like to call Skid Mark and The Clogger. They are normal children (relatively…). Well fed. Active. Messy rooms. And a mom who deserves a medal for her bravery in the bathroom and the laundry room. Let me tell you a little [...]
