I am so excited! On the 19th I will be at Foam Fest!!! What is Foam Fest? Mud. Obstacles. Running. Starting to sound all too familiar? You've probably heard of mud runs before. In fact, one of the hottest new crazes in the racing circuit is dirty runs with hundreds of races popping up across the country. But have you ever dreamed about what it would be like to race on foot through a giant car wash? Maybe you pictured yourself entering with mud up to your Adam's apple and then dodging … [Read more...]

My First Garden!

April 20, 2012 By 3 Comments
Garden

I have never attempted to grow a garden before. As a matter of fact, I don't have a single plant in my house and I am not big on flowers because it seems like whenever they come near me- they die.  I forget about them and they die.  When we moved into this new house- they already had a section of the yard dedicated to a garden. There was nothing in it, but the structure was there, so I thought "Why not?"  I went to Home Depot- bought a ton of packages of seeds for all the vegetables and … [Read more...]

Veggie Tales- Robin Good and his Not So Merry Men DVD {Review}

I love every time we get a chance to review anything from Veggie Tales, and this DVD was no exception. I first learned about Veggie Tales about 2 years ago when i noticed that our church streamed it in the Children's Hall of our church. The kids were fixated, so of course I had to ask- "What is this?" I ran out and bought a DVD and the kids asked for it everyday. Not only is it bright and colorful, it is a Christian cartoon that teaches great values and talks about God - something so … [Read more...]

Blue Orange Wooden Eco Friendly Board Games!

chicky boom board game

One of my favorite things to do, now that the kids are a little bit older, is to play board games with them!  We have all the staples, but in al honesty, they can be kind of long for the attention spans of 4 and 5 year olds AND they are so flimsy, we end up getting to play them 2-3 times and the kids have basically destroyed the paper cards and cheap figurines. So I am  loving the games by Blue Orange! These games are unlike anything you have seen and are so well made they can be around … [Read more...]

Did I get your attention?  Do you remember getting pregnant with your first child?  I remember every single detail. We started trying on our honeymoon, and after 4 months, I was flabbergasted! I assumed it would happen the first time we tried! (Isnt that what you are told in high school? It only takes once!?) So not true! LOL! Every day I thought I had signs of pregnancy, and of course it ended up me just over analyzing! I was at the point, I was reading all the books, on the forums, … [Read more...]

I can not believe it is already April and time for Easter!  I grew up loving the whole ordeal of dyeing Easter Eggs with my parents and brothers. We were all so competitive and had to compete to see who had the most vibrant or original design. We made a mess and had a blast doing it! To this day,we all still compete in out little subtle ways to have the best and most creative eggs.  Now having my own family, I am loving carrying on the tradition with my kids. Now that they are old enough … [Read more...]
