Days of Summer

Tweet As I sit here, on this last day in July, I can’t help but allow myself to get caught up in the laughter and joyful noises emanating from my yard. My children are so full of life, so full of energy. I’ve always said that if I could bottle up their energy and sell [...]

I spent the afternoon with Lisa LaPorta of HGTV’s Designed to Sell!

Tweet Not too long ago, Ray, in an effort to help, decided to cover up the dirty walls going up our stairwell with a darker shade of paint than the original paint color. Not quite sure how that helped, but it made for a good blog post, at the very least, I figured. So, I [...]

I’m home…

Tweet Within five minutes of being welcomed home, I was running through the airport, with three little ones in tow, looking for a restroom before an accident. Within forty minutes of receiving hugs and kisses from kiddos who missed their mama, I was reprimanding them for being too loud in the restaurant. Within two hours [...]

Chicago: Day Five {BlogHer Highlights}

Tweet As I finished packing up to go home today, I couldn’t help but realize how much swag I was given throughout the course of my time here in Chicago. While all of it was amazing, not even the video camera that I received can truly compare to the memories I made when I saw [...]

Chicago: Day Four {BlogHer Interrupted}

Tweet I woke up with a migraine. The day so many of my friends were in one place, all of whom I was dying to see. The day I was to be photographed and recorded for a huge project that will soon be revealed. The day I was to take as many steps as I [...]

The day began with a fun breakfast with the Walmart team and Food Networks’ Dave Lieberman. I didn’t know much about [...]

Omron Overstep Your Bounds Challenge

Tweet If you are here at BlogHer and happen to see me, don’t stop me… walk with me! Here’s why :: I’m on a mission. A mission to clock more steps than some of my fellow mom bloggers. Why? Well, if I do, in fact, take more steps than the others, I get to decide [...]

Chicago: Day Two

Tweet The ElevenMoms had a great meeting with the Walmart team. Lots of changes and amazing things are sure to happen. The parties started today, with a bang! Got some great swag and a tattoo(!) from the SocialLuxe Lounge. Met up with Stacey and my fantastic J&J friends, at the MomCentral cocktail party. Had dinner, [...]

Summer Break is Almost Over

Tweet As a homeschool family, we plan for the coming school year in different ways than most families. While you may be out shopping for school wardrobes and backpacks, this Mommy is already taking personal study breaks and making sure her home library is overflowing with a year’s worth of books for her inquisitive and [...]

Chicago: Day One

Tweet I said goodbye to my family today, but hello to old and new friends. I spent only minutes in airports, but hours in an airplane. I walked what seemed like hours, looking for a place to eat, but had a fabulous meal with fun people. I was oh-so tired, but played a mean game [...]
