boot scoot balance bike

Neither of my boys have been keen on riding a bike. It’s been a source of contention with the pediatrician and I over the last couple years. I honestly think that quite frankly we have bigger fish to fry with the whole autism thing going. Sure, I’d love for my boys to ride bikes like… read more »

A Lasting Relationship

Zach eating his MTO

The love affair started in 1999 when I moved in with my now husband. Sheetz didn’t make it to where I’m originally from until just a few years ago. Before moving to Maryland, I had never seen a Sheetz before. They were our go to gas station. There were several in town, and we could always get… read more »

I got a new phone awhile ago, and I’ve been in the market for a case and screen protector. It just so happened that an e-mail dropped into my inbox to try a screen protector. So I checked out the 3M Natural View screen protector. There isn’t much to it. In the package is a cleaning… read more »

For an avid reader like myself, an ereader with instant access to the store is like handing an addict an endless supply of their vice. How awesome is it that when I start a series that if there’s another book I can hop online and grab the next one? I like how easy it is… read more »

I suffer from allergies, asthma, and eczema myself. Something I have dubbed the “trifecta from hell” depending on the season. I was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma at age 11.

Giving Gift Cards as Gifts

We all have that one (or more!) difficult person on our list to buy for. I don’t know about you, but I usually end up getting them gift cards. I hate just sending a gift card in an envelope, so I try to pair it with something they like as well. Like maybe a movie… read more »

“Women Succeeding with Epilepsy,” is a video series that you can view online about two women who are epilepsy advocates. One is living with epilepsy, and the other cares for her child with epilepsy.

Easiest Shipping Ever

Yesterday I went to my local UPS Store to have my Milspouse Secret Santa gift shipped to its recipient. I have to say, this was the easiest shipping experience I’ve ever had, and as a milspouse, I’ve shipped A LOT of packages over the years. It was awesome! All I did was walk in with… read more »

Texas Roadhouse

Now before you dismiss this as your average paid review, don’t. It’s not. Why am I endorsing this restaurant then? We have a son who LOVES loud music. He likes the TV loud, music loud, and his games loud. Texas Roadhouse has fairly loud music. Not so loud you can’t converse, but loud enough that… read more »
