Snap It Right… there are no “do-overs”.

giggles

Between Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduations, summer parties and family outings, you’ll have many opportunities to get great pictures of your family and friends over the next few months. Will those shots be frameable display pieces, or Facebook fodder? The difference may well hinge on having the right camera…

Empowering Women Together: #PinToEmpower Prize Pack Giveaway

EmpoweringWomen_logo_FINAL

Two years ago I found myself in quite a pickle.  My marriage was ending, and as the stay-at-home-mom to a disabled child with an extensive therapy schedule, I really didn’t know how I was going to make ends meet.  In the ensuing months, I worked hard to build up my blog and start producing an [...]

Snack Sample Like a Crazed Review Blogger!

crazed blogger

No I am not bashing review bloggers.  Although, I do think they are kind of crazy, and I can say that, because I used to do quite a few reviews & giveaways myself.  It is a heck of a lot of work.  I burnt out on it quickly, but many of my brethren still power [...]

The Container Flower Garden Supplies are Gathered #DigIn

shade plants for container flower gardens

Earlier this week, I showed you the garden urns I had in mind for my container flower garden project. I plan to feature the urn planter in a newly added section of my flower gardens, which is mostly shady. This of course had a big effect both planter choice and the plants that would go in it. I am using the Thriller, Filler, Spiller technique on this container garden, to make sure it provides a nice impact. Before heading out to shop, I printed off the$5 off $50 coupon the Home Depot Garden Club had recently sent me…

Some of you may have noticed that nifty new Recipe Box button up in the navigation.  It’s there to help you.  You see, I’ve teamed up with ZipList, to make actually preparing the meals you find here easier and more convenient (looking is nice, eating is better).

getting my way

How many times have you visited a page to enter a contest, only to realize either the prize itself isn’t really for you or the entry requirement is not something you want to do.  It happens to me all the time.  I’m fussy about what newsletters I sign-up for and who I follow on certain [...]

When I look back on the holidays, something stands out.  In every baby and toddler picture of my daughter on Christmas morning, she is in Carters PJs.  You see, every fall I would go to the Carter’s Outlet store and stock up when they had a sale.  My old house can be chilly in the [...]

Selling Goes Mobile on Ebay

Time sure seems to fly.  I first sold an item on Ebay over 12 years ago.  I’ve always been a lover of antiques, especially old kitchen wares.   For a while, I picked up extra items at estate sales and local auctions, and sold them on Ebay to help defray the costs of  the items [...]

Lil’ Foodie Shows Her Keen Style

I haven’t done quite as many girls fashion posts as I used to, which is a shame, because Lil’ Foodie has exhibited a distinct interest in what she wears.  She may be verbally challenged, but she has a strong opinion on what she likes, and is a bit of a little fashion Diva at times.  [...]

Where to Find Queen Size Bedding for Kids

My daughter was one of those kids.  She wanted to be with basically on top of mommy at bedtime, and no matter what we did it always ended out with long extended loud unrelenting wailing if she was put down in her toddler bed.  I bought her cute toddler bedding sets, and redecorated her room.   [...]
