Berry Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

Healthy Berry Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

A few nights ago, I was Pinterest surfing on my phone and saw a recipe I thought looked healthy and possibly yummy, so like a hundred times before, I repinned. The next day I did something shocking. I actually tried the recipe. Originally posted on Anja’s Food 4 Thought as Banana Pecan Granola Bars, and [...]





Finding a Better Cell Phone Plan is Hard to Do

Isn’t it amazing how dependent that we have become on cell phones these days?  I admit it, I’m an addict.  We don’t even own a home phone any longer.  Do you?  And, not only is my cellular phone my only phone, but the customer service on most cell phone plans is absolutely horrendous! I don’t [...]





Activate Your Life With The Charge #ChargedLife

You know how sometimes you are in the zone? You are enjoying life, you are present, you are in the zone, you are super productive, and your creativity dial is turned to super-max? I’ve enjoyed times like those throughout my life but at other times it just wasn’t there.  I used to blame it on [...]

I’ve always been fond of biographies, even as a child. I loved reading about other people’s stories and triumphs. As an adult, the more I read about other people’s lives, the more I realized that in this world, some are fortunate, while others are living the same horror every single day, over and over again.

Radio Flyer Style N’ Ride Scooter RFX with Custom Clips Review

Riding

When Radio Flyer asked if we’d be interested in reviewing the new Style N’ Ride RFX Scooter I quietly replied “YES!” I kept the scooter a secret until it arrived via UPS, knowing my 4 year old son wouldn’t be able to wait any longer than it would take to assemble… I was right. The [...]

I’m always open to trying new organic bath and body products – especially if I can find one that works well. Sometimes I try to make my own, but with four kids I don’t always have time. I like having premade products available for when I don’t have time to make my own organic shampoos [...]

Sunbow  SpongeBob Sunscreen

If your kids are like mine, then it’s a struggle putting on sunscreen. Maybe making sunscreen fun is the answer to this dilemma?

I’m pretty picky about what goes on my lawn. While I’m not over-the-top organic fruit-loop, I do like to know that what we put on the yard is something that will be safe for the family. We have dogs, cats and a passel of little ones to keep an eye on after all. So I was intrigued [...]
