Mom Central Tour

So far our summer travel plans have included visiting family in my home state of Oregon. The great thing about technology and Skype in particular is that our communication habits don’t have to change while we’re traveling! With the Skype app on my iPhone, I can still Skype my sister and all the other people I […]

I have a large family and we live far enough away that we only get to see each other in person once or  twice a year. That used to be really hard on me, but Skype has made it so much easier! I’ve been a Skype user for a few years now, and I’ve just […]

I just got an iPhone 4s a few months ago and I’m still totally blown away at the things that little rectangle is capable of. Holy apps! I just tried out a really fun new one from Band-Aid – it’s downloadable in the Apple App Store for free and is a fun and funny way […]

Occasionally (not as often as I should…) I get so overwhelmingly grateful for all the good things in my life. Mother’s Day was one of these times. My sweet husband and sons got up extra early to make me a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, and juice. I was sleeping soundly when they surprised […]

I had tried every diaper brand known to mom, except this one (not sure why…), so I jumped on the opportunity to participate in this Huggies campaign with Mom Central Consulting.

What are some things that came as a total surprise when you were pregnant or a new Mom? For me it was the exhaustion. Who knew?!? It makes sense but I was so amazed at how much I could and wanted to sleep. Then there was the sciatica. And the back aches. And the amazing […]

My spice cupboard is overflowing with little jars, most of them McCormick, so I’m thrilled to spread the word about McCormick’s Great Spring Flavors Baking Contest! Click here to read the official rules, but basically you can participate by following McCormick on Pinterest and making one of their recipes and posting pictures of your beautiful […]

I have one very vague memory of dying Easter eggs as a kid, and I’m positive that even 20 years ago we used a Paas kit. I remember the bright colors and that little wire egg spoon thing, which I thought was the coolest thing ever. When I decided it was finally time to introduce […]

I am a T-girl all the way. My closet is filled with solid colored t-shirts and I find myself going for them again and again. They’re comfy, practical, versatile, and I can be a mom and do all the mom things I need to do. I have tried lots of different brands of tees, and […]
