I’m a Cheater, In How I Put My Toddler to Sleep
Bed time for kids isn’t always so easy and now I’m cheating on getting it done. We’re in that fighting nap time stage. I know she still needs a nap. Better yet, I need her to still need a nap. Those few hours each day are golden for me. My coffee has set in, I’m […]

Vlog: How I Ate Healthy & Handled Stress
I’ve shared how the month of April was the pits. Even throughout the horrific month, I managed to not succumb to every pastry, cookie or fried food that was available. It wasn’t easy but it was certainly smart. Learning to not rely on food as comfort during stress isn’t easy. There is a reason that […]

Mazda 3 with Skyactiv Technology Review
Driving the Mazda 3 with SkyActiv Technology around town made me feel young. It’s got that sporty feel that a college kid or grad loves. Moms don’t often get the chance to leave the crumbled Goldfish and empty juice boxes. I was ready to leave the crumbs and take my little “sports car” for a […]
WAHM Mornings Aren’t Always Glam
Many people perceive a WAHM or blogger’s life to be long coffee talks and manicure appointments. It’s honestly the hardest job I’ve ever had. Attempting to manage and increase my work, I entertain the non-stop toddler. But, I wouldn’t trade it for the world! Here’s how our morning is going today:
Disney World is for Florida Moms
Florida moms love Disney. I especially do. From start to finish, getting to the entrance at Magic Kingdom is 250 miles – as the car drives. That usually comes out to just an under 4 hour drive. There are no airport security lines, delayed or cancelled flights or limitations on what you can pack. Yes, […]
Front-Facing Phone Cameras: Windows 8X vs iPhone

Smart Home: Back to School, Shop for Layers!
Yes, it’s back to school time and I’m ecstatic – and it isn’t just because of the time I’ll get back during the day to get things done! Back to school means autumn is soon! It’s my favorite season! Shopping these last weeks of summer for the coming months can be overwhelming, especially without
