Best camera for the iPhone 5

olloclip.png

Something has been bothering me for quite some time; I was looking through pictures of my kids’ for the last few years, but something was missing, actually a lot of stuff was missing! When I look at our pictures they are very few and far between, in fact, most of the things that we have done in the last couple of years weren’t anywhere to be found in our pictures… do you know why? Because when we get ready to go somewhere fun we always think, “should we take the camera?” and the answer … [Read more...]

Glow in the dark paint for my sons

blue-and-green-wall-paint.jpg

  If you’ve been reading here for the past couple of weeks, then you have seen me redecorating my boys’ room. I have been using Disney Glidden paint from Walmart to get the look that my boys’ wanted. As I said in my previous posts, I let each of my sons choose 1 color, so that we would have 2 walls that were Moose’s color and 2 walls that were Tater’s color; those colors ended up being “Mickey’s Park” which was a bright green and “Definitely Donald” which is a … [Read more...]

If you have been reading here for a while, or if you know me in real life, you may have seen or heard me talk about Krimson Klover before. A while back they sent me the most amazing knit jacket that I have ever worn in my whole entire life, no exaggeration. It is soft and warm and gorgeous! It feels makes me feel glamorous just to put it on, in fact sometimes when I am going to the grocery store and I don’t want to put on a nice shirt, I just throw my Krimson Klover knit jacket on over my … [Read more...]

For a while now Jason has been searching online for a car charger and mount for his iPhone 5. He was looking for something that would stick to the windshield so that he could use his phone for driving directions. He looked at plenty of them but the reviews either weren’t great or were just plain awful… or the mount cost was outrageous. Luckily I found one that was just perfect online! This kit includes everything to hold and charge an iPhone 5 while you are driving. The claw style … [Read more...]

Skip it

I see my kids’ playing with some of the toys that I used to play with when I was their age and it just takes me back. I can vividly remember playing with my own Skip It! as a little girl while I was over at my dad’s house. I would play with that thing for hours and hours, looking back, I shouldn’t have ever given it up… I would probably have the best legs if I had just kept doing the Skip It! every day! When the new and improved Twister Rave Skip It showed up in the mail a couple of … [Read more...]

Disney Paint at Walmart #DisneyPaintMom

In your mind, picture a white room, a stark, plain, boring, white room. Yeah, that was my kids’ room and I hated it! I am sure they did too! It just felt so boring and neglected compared to every other room in our house. Time for a change! I went to Walmart and found out that they now offer Disney paint colors, and if you haven’t seen them, you should stop by and take a look. Who knew that Walmart had such awesome paint? I had no idea! The Disney paint colors are Glidden, a brand we all … [Read more...]

What is Fair Trade Coffee?

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Organic -Good luck saying that name five times real fast… I stopped back in at my new favorite coffee roaster- Coda Coffee- to see what else I could try - I walked away with a pound of their Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Organic coffee, and a question. This was late on a Friday afternoon, so I was forced to wait until Saturday morning, mouth literally watering on the drive home from the fragrant smell of this organic, fair trade certified coffee. I love a light roast coffee … [Read more...]

Coda Coffee- Local Coffee Roaster In Denver Colorado

Coda.gif

I am a coffee lover. I am a coffee snob. I am a coffee…? I search for good coffee, the best coffee, local coffee. I use filtered water when I make coffee. When I switch to a different type of coffee, I clean my machine and cup completely so as not to mix the flavors. Single origins are my favorite. I have tried Kona, Blue Mountain, Civet, and a myriad of other coffees. Most recently I was on a hunt for something new, something different and something local. Google, here I come. I … [Read more...]

Using Hot Rollers

BABHS40C-2T.jpg

When I think of hot rollers, I always think of that giant pink case of old velvet hot rollers that everyone’s mom has stuck in the top of her closet. My best friend and I used to try to use her mom’s and I remember they were all burned and had some loose hairs on them… good times! I am here to inform you, in case you didn’t know (because I didn’t), that hot rollers have changed a lot from the days of velvet and smoking hot rollers. My favorite people over at FlatIronExperts.com sent … [Read more...]

Holiday traditions- Hickory Farms giveaway

Hickory-Farms.png

As you may or may not know, I am huge on family traditions. We had some growing up that I have passed on to my kids’ and other’s that I have created and hope that they will pass on to their kids. One of my favorites is my semi-annual Thanksgiving dinner, yes, you read that right. Our family does a Thanksgiving dinner in November but we also do one in May, not because we are thankful all year long, although that is a nice sentiment but it is mostly because I love turkey and pumpkin pie and … [Read more...]
