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...]

This post brought to you by Arby's. All opinions are 100% mine. The other day I was out driving around with the boys and we decided to grab some lunch at one of our favorite fast-food places, Arby’s! Tater loves the cheese sticks and I love the curly fries, so we pulled into the drive-thru and I was shocked to see another one of my favorite things on the menu… King’s Hawaiian! They have the very best dinner rolls on the planet I think, I could eat them for every meal. Not only did … [Read more...]

Is Iron Man 3 good for kids?

Iron Man 3 is (obviously) the third movie in the Iron Man series, it was actually the first one that I have seen… but I will be going back to watch the other ones now. This movie was really great! We took all three kids with us Lou (9 year old niece), Tater (8 year old son) and Moose (6 year old son) and I wasn’t sure how they would do but they really loved the first two Iron Man movies and they were begging to see this one too, so I thought it was worth a shot. Marvel's "Iron Man … [Read more...]

Mary Poppins- Denver

Last night we took Moose and Tater to see Mary Poppins at the Buell Theater in Denver. Before the show I realized that I might be failing my children when I asked if they wanted to go, they thought it was a movie and Tater said “Maybe one day it will come out on DVD.” They had NO idea that it was already on DVD and that it is a really old movie! In that moment I realized that they had never watched Mary Poppins… that is not ok! That movie is a staple, everyone should see it when they are … [Read more...]

Choosing paint colors for boys rooms #DisneyPaintMom

Disney-paint-chips.png

My boys’ share a room right now, they are 6 and 8 and usually disagree about things whenever possible; if one likes something, the other hates it, if one wants something, the other doesn’t… you know, normal sibling stuff. So when we decided to paint their room I knew that it would be a big fight. The Plan As I told you in my last post, we ended up choosing two colors a bright blue and a bright green and we decided to do two walls in each color. Both boys’ are really excited about it … [Read more...]

Smile Generation and the Colorado Avalanche

Do you enjoy hockey? I used to, when I was younger I used to watch all of the Colorado Avalanche games on TV, I never missed one! As I have gotten older (and after the strike) I kind of stepped back from it without even noticing that I had. I would go seasons without watching a single game and not realize because I was so busy taking care of the babies, so when Smile Generation contacted me about attending an Avalanche vs. Blue Jackets game, I was all over it! Mother nature chose the day of … [Read more...]
