Have You Had to Think About Elder Care for YOUR Parents?

They say that everything comes full circle and I’m starting to believe that it’s true! We give birth to our babies, we care for our helpless little babies, then they grow up to become independent adults (at least we hope they do) and eventually, if we’re lucky, they care for us. We often make jokes that our children will one day be in charge of our futures, but it really isn’t a joke! It is the truth. Have you had to think about elder care for your parents yet? Have they hit that age yet where things just aren’t the … Continue reading

Maybe We Should Have Hired a Plumber!

Well over six months ago (it might have even been a year ago, I’m in denial now), something happened to my sink in our master bathroom and it still hasn’t been fixed! We should have hired a plumber! Here’s the story….. I was doing a weekly clean in my bathroom. I was wiping down the sink when all of a sudden, the drain slammed shut. I hardly even touched the thing so I was confused as to why it happened. When I went to pull on the lever thingy (you can tell I need a plumber – I don’t even … Continue reading

RECIPE: Homemade Blueberry Oat Waffles

Blueberry Oat Waffles

They don’t call me “Mommy the Messy Baker” for nothing! I have a Cuisinart waffle maker and it has taken me four different recipes, a lot of messes and quite a long time to “master” making my own waffles. The first time I made waffles, the waffles grew and they grew and they grew. They kept growing, I honestly thought they were going to land on the floor! I thought that halving the amount of batter that went into the waffle iron would fix the problem. It didn’t. I thought that changing the recipe would fix the problem. It didn’t. … Continue reading

Boogie Wipes – REVIEW and (closed) GIVEAWAY

Congrats to edmontonjb – the winner of this Giveaway! We absolutely LOVE Boogie Wipes in our house! Especially when the kids are sick with those runny nose or stuffy nose illnesses.

However, with this amazing invention of Boogie Wipes (that comes in a few different varieties: Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol and Simply Unscented), I can simply hand him one, he wipes his nose and the schmoogies (that’s what we call Boogies in our house) simply wipe away. It’s … Continue reading
