Ever since we bought that romantic treadmill back on Valentine’s Day, I’ve been focused on making it a priority on nearly every day of the week. I’m a numbers person. I like having something to measure when it comes to following my progress and seeing results. For me, that means the number on the scale […]
Financial Literacy Month with My Job Chart
April 11, 2012 · by · Leave a Comment
MyJobChart.com, an online chore chart was designed to teach young people the concept of responsibility, work ethic and the value of money by giving them a way to earn points for completing their chores. The free site has always offered a way for young users to ‘spend’ their points on rewards they want, ‘share’ what […]
The Bully Project
April 10, 2012 · by · 3 Comments
When Nick was in elementary school he was bullied by a fellow classmate. The most painful thing about it for me as his Mom was that he kept it to himself for quite some time before telling anyone. That my small boy carried around the weight of something so painful on his tiny little shoulders […]
I miss my kid
April 5, 2012 · by · 3 Comments
This week has been a bit tough for me. Nick is away for the entire week on a school trip and we just aren’t complete as a family when one of us away, at least that’s how I feel. These boys probably party like it’s 1999 when I’m away, but for me we just aren’t […]
I’d love to share my stats with you
April 3, 2012 · by · 2 Comments
Practically the only time I ever look at my blog stats is when I’m asked for that information, like when I’m applying for a sponsored post opportunity or to participate in a blog campaign. I cringe as I log in, quickly look up the numbers, and get out as fast as possible. I know, I know. Some bloggers would […]
April is Autism Awareness Month
April 2, 2012 · by · 6 Comments
Today is World Autism Awareness Day with the entire month of April devoted to raising awareness of autism. With a 1-in-88 statistic I’m not sure how any of us isn’t aware of autism, but what I hope for more than raising awareness is to raise the level of acceptance and understanding. As a family we’ve […]
Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser – flossing without the pain
March 26, 2012 · by · 3 Comments
As someone without dental insurance I have to be extra diligent about taking care of my teeth at home, but I have to confess that I’m a horrible flosser. I stay consistent with it for a few days at a time, but then I get lazy and neglectful of my dental hygiene. When I recently had the […]
The first day of Spring
March 21, 2012 · by · 4 Comments
I’m not a winter person. Wait. That’s not true. I’m not a New England winter person. I loved winter when I lived in San Diego, all those years ago. Almost as soon as the crispness of fall settles upon us I begin to count the days until summer will arrive again. I don’t like the cold […]
SinuSense – A Natural Remedy for Spring Allergies
March 21, 2012 · by · 4 Comments
I have been using a neti pot for quite some time. Initially it was for the overall health benefits, but then it was also for times when I wasn’t feeling well or battling with seasonal type allergy symptoms. I never had issues with seasonal allergies before the last several years. Every year in the spring […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day – My Ireland Memory
March 17, 2012 · by · 8 Comments
Every year on St. Patrick’s Day I remember back to when I was a teenager and traveled to Ireland as part of a talented group of cheerleaders from all over the United States to learn dance routines in only a matter of a couple of days, perform those routines at Kilkenny castle and the Lord Mayor’s Ball, and […]
