Old Navy Spring Dresses 2012

Gray "fat" dress

I usually shop at Old Navy. No matter who throws up and calls it fashion, they still carry the plain t-shirts and tanks. When I saw an opportunity through Crowdtap to try a dress, I was excited after browsing online. There were some that were right up my alley – plain and simple. Then I… read more »

Lancaster Brewing Company

Beer sampler LBC

My husband and I got to go out – alone – for the third time in three years. We had talked about trying a Thai place. We had talked about going to Five Guys. We really didn’t know where to go. We’re not used to being able to go wherever we want. We ended up at Lancaster… read more »

Eczema Relief – Neosporin Essentials

No Lotion

The boys and I all suffer from eczema. Really from the trifecta – eczema, asthma, and allergies. They all seem to go hand in hand. The boys haven’t seemed to be as bad off this winter as I have. I’ve been itchy all over, and the patches on my knees and elbows have been horrific…. read more »

Snow Day Treat with Weis Markets

Weis Markets

Let me spin you a tale of grocery shopping. I was eager to have the opportunity to explore one of our local Weis Markets to see if they had gotten any better in terms of being competitive with the other chains in our area. (For the short version, see my picture story on Google+) Before… read more »

Marzetti Simply Dressed

Have you ever checked the ingredients on your favorite salad dressing? Are they good for you, or do they defeat the purpose of eating a salad in the first place?

Cheerios and the USO have made it super easy for you to send a message to a military family with the sendCheer campaign. All you have to do is buy a specially marked package of Cheerios (I… read more »

ThinkFun Games Make Great Gifts

My family has been a fan of the ThinkFun games since before they were more mainstream. I found Zingo! online about 5 or 6 years ago for our oldest son for Christmas. This came about as my brain was tired of Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, and the typical preschool board game fare. Zingo has been… read more »

Adult Acne with Proactiv

I had acne as a teen. It was always something that bothered me about my appearance, and I wore make up every day in school to try and cover it. I lived with the hope hat maybe it would go away once I was an adult. Enter adulthood. I was happy to get a reprieve… read more »

The Heelys He Always Wanted

Zach-heelys

Zach has wanted a pair of Heelys since they came out. Every time they’re on TV, or he sees them on another kid, or he sees them in a shoe store, he’s reminded he wants a pair. It’s been years. The mean ol’ mom I am, I have refused. I just could not justify the… read more »

I Scream, You Scream

bright ideas

July is National Ice Cream month. Did you head over to your nearest Walmart on July 2, 2011 for your free sample of Nestle Lil Drums at The  Walmart Ice Cream Social Event? I went, and even took my family with me. The kids were especially excited at the prospect of getting ice cream before… read more »
