Our life has changed a lot in the past year and a half.  We sold a home.  Bought a home.  Moved cross country.  My husband turned 50.  I turned 40.  Our daughter graduated from high school.  We took her to college.  Phew!

Based on the bestselling novel by acclaimed author Nicholas Sparks, The Best of Me tells the story of Dawson and Amanda, two former high school sweethearts who find themselves reunited after 20 years apart, when they return to their small town for the funeral of a beloved friend. Their bittersweet reunion reignites the love they’ve never forgotten, but soon they discover the forces that drove them apart twenty years ago live on, posing even more serious threats today.

Oh how I long for the lazy days of summer again.  Even though we aren’t in the stage of a ‘traditional’ school year any more, it seems that our schedule and activities still follows one.  I really thought that with sending our daughter to college and being empty nesters that we’d have more down time and relaxed meals.  But between blog events, church activities and social gatherings, it seems that two or three nights a week minimum, I need to get a quick meal on the table before we head out the door.

If you’re looking for a fun activity in the kitchen for your kids this October, why not make some easy Jack-o-Lantern cupcakes with them?

It only takes a few ingredients, but will result in a morning or afternoon of fun and memories for parents and kids alike.

Have a little nail painting fashionista in your house?  It can be a parent’s worst nightmare.  Traditional nail polish can cause a major mess and permanent stains, but parents can now have no fear.  Worx Toys is here with a safe, mess-free alternative.

Bo-Po nail polish.

Bo-Po stands for Brush On – Peel Off.  It’s the cool new stylish nail polish for kids that makes a quick and easy mess-free fashion statement in seconds.

I don’t have all the time in the world and Little Caesars knows this.

I can walk in get a pizza (or two, even ones made to order) in no time flat and I only have to hand them a $20 bill…and then they give me change back yet!

It is, in all honesty, the pizza my family prefers when given a choice on what kind to get when we do take out.

I’m all about making things personalized and MINE.  Whether that’s through having my name embroidered on a tote bag or putting my favorite cartoon character on a phone case, I want my things to be unique and reflect my personality.  

Kidecals are delightfully versatile, crazy durable labels and stickers.  While traditionally we think of putting labels on things for school, they really can be used for all kinds of things.

So the other day I was invited to attend an exclusive event which allowed my husband and I to get a preview of the Ford F-150 prior to the #FordTX State Fair of Texas unveiling.

My hair is a …monster, especially without some sort of product to tame it.  I don’t have to try hard to look like a hot mess most days.  This picture below shows what my hair looks like when I just air dry it. 

As much as you all know how much I love coffee, there is another beverage that grabs my attention…and that would be wine.   I recently had the opportunity to receive a shipment from Uncorked Ventures Wine Club and would like to share with you about their offerings and service.
