On our way to Matador, Texas for my nephew’s graduation, we knew we were going to have some time to spare when we were thinking we had 1 1/2 hrs left but in reality, there was only 3omin left.  So what do you do when you’re in a town of about 800 or less??? Well, [...]

I HATE dirty windows and we have a lot of them.The Windex All-In-One Window Cleaning Kit was presented to me and it looks like it will work well!! I’m trying it in a week and I’ll report back.  I’ll be sure to take before and afters for ya!
Windex’s new All-In-One outdoor window cleaning kit is [...]

Changing what I put into my mouth in order to lose weight has been a constant struggle for me.  Going from drinking soda 24/7 to stopping cold turkey was a challenge to say the least.  Once you make the commitment though, it’s worth everything.  I’m helping my body, my skin and even my teeth.  Teeth??  [...]

Wordless Wednesday………Shamu and a photo from the show “Believe” that brought me to tears.  SeaWorld ROCKS!
(taken with my iphone)

I checked in through the self-service machine and noticed the option to upgrade to 1st class. I didn’t even think about it to be honest, I just said heck yeah! Scheduled flight time was 4:40pm. Because of storms, actual flight time was 7:30pm but about 30 minutes before that, here comes a very, [...]

I haven’t been on a roller coaster in years but thanks to IZEA and SeaWorld (owned by Anheuser Busch) for sponsoring the visit, I was able to ride the newly launched Manta Roller Coaster, as well as, experience other parts of SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida.  I have a couple of posts I want to write [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, I must have my water flavored. One of my absolute favorites is Crystal Light. A gal named Crystal (ooohh, she’s make a great spokesperson!) actually introduced me to it a few years ago. She was trying to cut down on soda and started using Crystal Light as an [...]

You’ve heard how great it is but there are always doubts until you’ve tried it yourself.  OMG, I LOVE the Clarisonic Plus with Spot Therapy.  My mom actually bought this a while back and has raved about it so when I was approached about trying it out, I didn’t hesitate. Oh, they’re on Facebook too [...]

I’m leaving to SeaWorld in Florida tomorrow to ride the Manta (lord help me) so I’ll be scarce for the most part around here but I wanted to tell you about a couple of things.   Tomorrow I have a Clarisonic giveaway going up and my Crystal Light review ( with a cool recipe) where you [...]

Kudos to T-Mobile for incorporating a family allowance into their cell phone plans.  How many times have you or your child gone over their minutes & texts and cringed with fear when opening your cell phone bill?
I’ll never forget the first time Tyler got his first cell phone and we got the first bill.  Oh.my.gosh. [...]

I know, depressing and perhaps a bit morbid to some but just like a will in “real” life, you need a will and plans for your blog once you’re gone. If you die tomorrow, who’s going to tend to your online business, your blog, your accounts with money in them, etc?? Are your [...]

You know that drinking water is very beneficial but what actions do you take to insure you’re getting enough? When I quit drinking soda, I had to teach myself to drink water. I had to make it a daily habit or else I would forget to drink anything at all.
Here are some tips that [...]

Oh my gosh, have you have seen SeaWorld’s Manta roller coaster?? SKEERED! I have been a lover of roller coasters my whole life, however, it’s been a while since I’ve ridden one and I have to admit, I’m a little nervous in my old age! lol You are basically laying down like you [...]

I decided to force my kids to take pictures with me even though I hate pictures myself.  I don’t have very many with my boys so we did a few quick ones.  I had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend and we spent almost every single moment together the entire weekend!
We went to a ranch rodeo [...]

Early this morning Jennifer James (who was on the list as well) congratulated me for being on Nielson’s Power Mom List and I was like who, what, me? I checked out everyone who’s on the list and I’m just so honored to be among some amazing women!
Nielsen Online’s Power Mom 50 is a collection of [...]
