Get a Healthy Start with Kashi GOLEAN! Crisp Cinnamon Crumble {Review}
Last weekend was, to put it lightly, insane. My son had a soccer tournament both Saturday and Sunday where he and his team would be playing back-to-back games with not a lot of time to refuel in between. I needed to make sure he ate something healthy and filling for breakfast, but something that wouldn’t… [Continue Reading]
Protect Little Eyes with Eyes Cream Shades {Review}
With the arrival of 90 degree temperatures here in NOLA, Summer is definitely upon us.

We’re Going to Disney World: Telling the Kids!
My husband and I honeymooned in Disney World twelve years ago (the Honeymoon Suite at the Wilderness Lodge is A-Mazing).

As a Mom of two girls who also works outside of the home full time, dinners must be quick and easy. Because we live in the New Orleans area, we definitely love our seafood.

It’s a “Beary Special” Build-A-Bear Birthday Party!
Why is it that when we are kids, time moves so very slow? But now that I am a Mom, I can’t seem to slow time down enough. Earlier this month, my baby girl turned four years old. FOUR! This year, she started preschool and could not have been more excited to have her first… [Continue Reading]

Confession: I am addicted to Pinterest. I have found so many great recipes to try (and I am by no means as great cook). Last night, I made Baked Potato Soup from scratch! For those of you who know me, you should be quite impressed. My whole family loved it, so I wanted to share… [Continue Reading]

Stress. I have a lot of it. Between losing my job, growing this blog and organizing Reviewer’s Retreat (which is in less than 25 days!) it is no wonder that I am tense.
