He Must Really Love Her

by barb May 31, 2012

Tippy is everyone’s favorite bunny. It’s not that we don’t love the other one, it’s just that Tippy loves to cuddle. She lets you kiss and squeeze her tight. She basically acts like a rag doll…Licorice does not. Licorice is not a solid “people-friendly” bunny. She’ll let you hold her for a little while but [...]

More Nickelodeon Favorites Coming to DVD

by barb May 30, 2012

Summer vacation can be somewhat “boring” for the girls during a typical work week, when John and I still have work to do. The girls usually do pretty well about entertaining themselves, but on occasion they need help figuring out what to do. That’s when the trusted entertainment from a DVD comes into play. The [...]

OPA! To A Better You Sweepstakes

by barb May 28, 2012

When it comes to pushing myself back into a better – more active, much healthier – lifestyle (after being in and out of hospitals for over a year) I’m failing miserably. I know the reason for failed attempts. I’m lacking the self motivation, self confidence and energy needed to push me in the right direction. [...]

Trying A New #Recipe with @SweetFreshCorn

by barb May 26, 2012

Sweet corn on the cob – one of my family’s FAVORITE veggies (and the reason for all the excitement in my house here lately). Thursday night (to celebrate the girls last day of school & CJ’s Birthday) I decided to make something special for dinner. I was told about the Sunshine Sweet Corn website, and [...]

I can Explain

by barb May 25, 2012

I promise, I can explain You see…I entered a giveaway for a Thesis Theme at WPWebHost a while back. I really didn’t think I’d win but I entered anyway. The sad thing is; I was already antsy to make changes to my blog (hints the reason for my earlier changes). But now I’m done – [...]

The Essentials Of Fabulous (Book Review)

by barb May 24, 2012

I’ve been reading a lot of books lately; sad ones, thrilling ones, helpful ones and ones that are almost “taboo-ish.” I love it. If you ask me, I don’t think you can ever have “too many” books. Reading keeps your mind active and your dreams – adventurous! I just got through reading The Essentials of [...]

Giveaway: #WIN a Fun @KraftFoods Backyard #Party Pack

by barb May 23, 2012

I cannot believe it. Tomorrow is not only CJ’s 19th birthday, it’s also the last day of school for the girls. They go in for half a day tomorrow – to partay – and they’ll be home before noon. It’s insane, to think of how fast time has passed. We have lots to do this [...]

by barb May 22, 2012

Patience and Piper have their own Flip HD cameras (the ones that need 4 AA batteries each). They’re great cameras – the girls capture a lot of great moments with them – but boy-oh-boy can they suck the life out of your batteries. I’m usually changing batteries on their Flip – at best – twice [...]

The next best thing to Iced Tea – to quench my thirst – is a glass of pure 100% organic Fruit Juice that comes from fruits grown in Sicily, near the Mt Etna Volcano. Okay, so I was unaware of this juice until it arrived at my door on Saturday morning, but now that I’ve [...]

Ashley’s Ashes (Movie Review)

by barb May 21, 2012

For a movie that started out…well, kind of blehhhh (only the first few minutes)…it ended so beautifully. I can’t emphasize – enough – how much I loved this film. It touched my heart, put a lump in my throat and in the end…left me holding back a few tears that so desperately wanted to fall. [...]

by barb May 17, 2012

I’m a huge fan to tea. I’m talking- a HUGE fan. From green tea and white tea to flavored and unflavored; hot tea and iced tea to green tea martinis and black tea cocktails- you name it, I love it, and chances are I’ve probably tried it. That said. I received some coupons to try [...]
