Mom Central Tour

It’s been almost two months since we started using the GoodNites bed mats and we’ve gone from accidents every single night to only one accident in the last six weeks! The bed mats have given both my son and I some peace of mind about the whole thing – if he has an accident, no […]

The day I thought would never come has finally come. We have conquered bedwetting. And it wasn’t actually all that hard. I’m a little mad we didn’t get serious about it years ago, but all’s well that ends well, right?!? My potty trained son wet the bed for a few years – potty training and […]

The big move is over! After spending the majority of our married life in a little townhome, my husband and I and our children just moved into our new house with our own yard and no shared walls! I am SO glad I had my Brother P-Touch labeler for all the packing, moving, and unpacking […]

Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches are consumed by the hundreds each year at our house – they’re sweet and salty, gooey or crunchy, quick and easy, and well all love them. But the classic PB&J has changed over time, at least at our house. We’ve gotten bored with the regular old way of making the sandwich and […]

We conquered potty training a while ago, but we still sometimes struggle with nocturnal enuresis, a fancy way to say bedwetting. It’s typically genetic and is defined as involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which bladder control usually occurs. In talking to our doctor, we learned it’s more common in boys and it’s really no fun […]

I enjoy a good organizational challenge, and boy do I have my work cut out for me since we’re moving and our office/craft room clutter has grown and gotten way out of control. We’re lucky enough to get a new start in a new space that will hopefully work better for us. And I’m a […]

We’ve been cutting out as much processed and artificial food from our diets as possible, and it hasn’t been easy. I don’t buy any pre-packaged snack foods at all and sometimes I feel like there’s nothing to eat! Natural food choices are pretty limited and it’s a lot of the same. Trying to stick to […]

We just endured a 2 week long span of sick, sick, sick kids. The two offenders: RSV and the stomach flu. Only two of my three sons got the stomach flu, including the little one pictured at left. He was so sick and didn’t move or eat for a few days and threw up all […]

Now that it’s winter again and snow is on the ground and temperatures are freezing, we’re cooped up inside all day and we don’t like it. We have a few go-to indoor play spots – Kangaroo Zoo, the Dinosaur Museum, and Cabela’s but my boys’ favorite winter play place is…Carl’s Junior. We go fairly often during the […]

The floor coverings in our current home are predominantly carpet and even though we have a no food, no shoe on the carpet rule, our carpet still gets pretty dusty and dirty. I love a good vacuum and was thrilled with the chance to try out the new Panasonic Jetforce Vacuum MC-UL427. I honestly didn’t expect […]
