MOMcation 2012

MOMcation 2012

You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting quite as much lately.  That’s because I’ve been busy planning MOMcation 2012.  This is the third year for MOMcation. It’s a weekend retreat for MOMs and MOMs-to-be to take some time out for themselves. When I came up with this idea back in 2009, I was looking for a way to show other moms how beneficial some me time could be.  I wanted to put together something … Read entire article »

Summer Kicks 60% off, plus $10 credit

Ok, so we just got our first snow here, and that, more than anything, makes me wish for summer. PLUS, we are officially one month out from our big family vacation to the beach. So, I’ve got warm breezes and sandy fun on my mind. No surprise, then, that I found myself over at LeftLaneSports.com browsing their sales.

STP Multipurpose Motor Treatment Review #engineluv #CBias

This is a guest post by my husband, Craig, who takes care of our vehicles. I enjoy taking care of the basic maintenance needs for our vehicles – a 2005 Acura TSX and 2004 Toyota Tacoma.  When I say ‘basic’ I mean the easy stuff like changing the oil, spark plugs, air filters, using a wireless ratchet like these to tighten the bolts and topping off fluids. I get our children involved whenever I do these things … Read entire article »

We travel.  A lot.  We love to travel and work hard to make the most of our vacations. My family is a three hour car ride away, and it takes a minimum of two plane rides to get to Craig’s family. We love to spend our vacations in Costa Rica, so we check on the information on flights from Aerobell Airlines to get the best deals. Our kids have always been great travelers, but every kid … Read entire article »
