“Swank” Suede Boots from Earth Footwear! (Giveaway)
I first heard about Earth Footwear at the Type A Mom Conference last year, where they were sponsors. This was the first time I had heard of a shoe making a difference in posture, calorie burn, and toning. It intrigued me to think that a shoe could have such a positive impact, although we DO know how poor shoes can have a negative affect on posture, back pain and the like. So I was thrilled when I got the chance to try out the brand new Swank Boots from Earth Footwear! First of all, these boots look cool, which is the ...
Real Tolerance
You might not be tolerant if you... ...Express a view that is contrary to the "tolerant" ones. I usually do not to write these types of posts. Mainly because I am not perfect, and I try not to judge others for what they do. But lately, I have been so discouraged and feel almost like the world is turning upside down. People who are celebrated for their "tolerance" seem to be in favor of silencing or demonizing, even hating anyone who doesn't agree with them. And people who ask tough questions and want to open up the dialogue, you know... like those ...
In the Moment of Lost
It was a glorious day at the beach, on the first day of our family vacation. My in-laws were there, as well as sister- and brother-in-law, nephews, niece. Our three daughters were in heaven as they played in the sand and surf with their beloved cousins, their collective ages between 4 and 10. All was well with the world. The kids were playing in the sand right down in front of us, and walking back and forth to the water to fill up their buckets. They were all together, and directly in front of us, right? So we didn't worry. We ...
What’s That S’pposed to Mean?
My kids often say things to me, that upon later pondering, I have to say, "Wait, what's that s'pposed to mean!?" Here's a good one: Hip Chick (9yo): "Mom, what are you doing tomorrow?" Me: "Well, I'm going to write a little in the morning, then I have a meeting before I pick you up from school." Hip Chick: "So, does that mean you'll be dressed up?" Me: "Um... not 'dressed UP', but... ya know... dressed." ... a few hours later... Hey! What's THAT s'pposed to mean?
Turn Leftovers Into a Healthy Lunch with Mission Tortillas
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mission Foods. All opinions are 100% mine. This time of year, one of the biggest questions I hear moms asking each other is "What are some ideas for healthy lunches to send with my kids to school?" I admit, we have occasionally fallen into the rut of packing peanut butter sandwiches every day, but hopefully we can be more creative this year! Mission Tortillas are pretty standard in our house for things like quesadillas, tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, but they can be SO much more! This year, I'm trying to think ...

Word(less) Wednesday: Rest
I usually pair a scripture with my Wordless Wednesday, and while this photo is not the most serious of photos, I thought this Scripture went with it perfectly! I took a little rest on the Downy Couch at BlogHer 2010 in New York! I sure did want to stay there after running around all day! Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will...

My Interview with the Pillsbury Dough Boy at Blogher in New York!
I have had the privilege of interviewing some pretty cool people since I’ve been blogging and hosting MomTV. There was Carl at High Country Honda, my dynamic six year old, Scott Stratten, of UnMarketing, and many more. But I think you will agree that I have reached the pinnacle of my career with this interview with the illusive Pillsbury DoughBoy. ... [Read more of this post]
10 Things I Will Do With “All That Time”
Today is the first day that all three of my children are in school full-time. It’s a dichotomy between excitement and missing them, but it is definitely a good thing. Working at home has been a huge blessing to me while the kids were still young. If I had gone back to work outside the home, most of my salary would have gone for day-care,...

A Friend in Need
I’ve had a story of friendship that I’ve been wanting to share lately. Throughout my life, I’ve had the privilege to share moments with lots of friends. There are “seasons” of friendship when we walk very closely with a friend, and then there are times when the friendship lives on in our hearts until we see each other... [Read more of this post]
Just Put BlogHer Down… OK, Now Step AWAAAY From the Conference…
As I sat on the plane at LGA yesterday, trying to put some coherent thought together, all I got was a cloud of faces, events, products, messages from panels, candid conversations, dancing, etc, clamoring for a space in my brain. And those were just the thoughts! The emotions were a whole new story! I tried to pinpoint exactly which emotions I felt... [Read more of this post]
Fresh Ideas for Greener Living
I will never put myself forth as a “poster child” for green living. I know I have a long way to go. But I do take little steps when I identify something we can change as a family. I do like to do research to find out if the methods I’m using really ARE greener, but if it saves money, keeps stuff out of landfills, or uses less energy,... [Read more of this post]
Prayer for Christian Bloggers at BlogHer Conference
Whenever I go to a big social media conference, I prepare by packing, RSVP-ing to events, connecting with people I want to see. OK, I go shopping too. But I don’t want to forget one of the most important parts of preparation- PRAYER. I saw a tweet that asked if we see our blogs as a ministry. I thought about it for a minute. I don’t...

Stop the Presses! I Like the Cheese! (Weight Watchers Giveaway)
While talking with Maria Bailey (co-founder of MomTV) once about grocery shopping, she asked me if I buy store brand cheese to save money. I immediately declared, “Absolutely not! I will not buy store brand cheese, or low-fat cheese, it’s full-fat name brand or bust!” I hadn’t really tried a brand of low-fat cheese I liked,... [Read more of this post]
Last Minute Prep for BlogHer: What to Print?

But... [Read more of this post]
